Gamezville: 2003 - 2004
That maturity spectacularly failed to appear with the start of Gamezville, Sky One's horrific 2003 attempt to follow up Games World. Hampered by knuckle-scraping presenters of the most painfully cliched "Yo! 'Innit mate!" variety and a daily, hour long format that it struggled to fill, Gamezville was a horrible mess of a show, rounded off with the horror of yet another 'whacky' cheats expert character, The Guru. Seriously guys, get another idea.
Gamezville's misjudged run was mercifully short, but the terror it wreaked will not be soon forgotten. As GamesMaster presenter Dominik Diamond once commented in an interview with Edge magazine, "Gamezville is the equivalent to eating your own s**t". Note to future gaming TV producers: Trying to be 'down wit' da kidz' will only make the world hate you. And all of your future descendents.
