Game Journalists Go Head to Head in 'The Metagame'

Posted by Zonk on from the ready-fight dept.

The Metagame event, held this past GDC in San Francisco, garnered a good deal of buzz ... even if not that many people had a chance to see it. The folks behind GameLab set up another session of the inventive game-knowledge gameshow, and pitted two pairs of journalists against each other to see who could better argue their (randomly determined) cases. The results are not only hilarious, but viewable on the MTV website.

    Yeah, that's way more entertaining than, say, reruns of the X-Files.

    How we know is more important than what we know.

    You know that scene at the beginning of Space Oddessy: 2001, where the monkeys dispute over the water-pool? By screaming nonsense at each other? MTV recreated that here.

    I didn't think either side made a compelling argument for the entire competition. I want my 20 minutes back.
