Ian Wolf, On The Box, 12th February 2018There has long been a fairly glaring gap in the TV market for a show exploring gaming. This cheerful gameshow does the job reasonably well as guests waggle their joysticks at each other, offering a competitive spectacle but also practical game reviews into the bargain.
