Have there ever been any good ones?
I know people really like King of Kong A Fistful of Quarters but I didnt really like it. There's also one called Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade which I havent seen. G4 used to do short 30 minute documentaries on video games that were prety good.

That was a pretty big fuck up.
Two of the best I have seen are Iain Lee's Thumb Candy and Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe
The only ones I saw were that one from the Discovery Channel zetastrike mentioned and Gameswipe.
While I can't exactly remember if the Discovery one was good or not, Gameswipe was quite good.
KOK wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy how it was presented in the David vs Goliath fashion. At times it seemed like a soap opera.Quote:
