GSN Video Games on Gameshow Network right now?

Ok I just watched this on TV and I had no idea this was even out, anyone else catch it? I only watched about 20 minutes or so but it was ok. The pacing of the show is really slow, especially the reviews. I actually got bored of it and changed it to the Food Network because Unwrapped was on (which was awesome). Seems like their target audence are parents. Though since it was a Halloween edition they did do a list of the "top horror games" of the year. The biggest turn off to me was that the voice over for the video reviews sounded like J.D. Roth (bleh!), might just be me but he sounded like he was advertising the games and not being objective. I hate to admit it but X-Play is a better show than this one, they have the video review format down, now if they just acted intelligent in the inbetween segments I'd start watching it again.

Anyway I think its going to be on for the next 2 hours or so, in case you're interested you might be able to catch it. I believe it comes every week but I don't know when. As a side comment, there seems to be an explosion of video game TV shows. Now this one on GSN, and I hear MTV is working on one, and so is Spike TV. Looks like video games are really becoming mainstream (or at least they are trying to make it appear that way).

I've caught bits and pieces in the past, it is indeed two hours and it on in this time slot every week AFAIK.

I didn't care for it much either, but X-play still sucks.

Judgement Day on G4 is the only TV VG review show I watch, it's still not great but it is the least crappy of the current shows.
