THE ELECTRIC PLAYGROUND is the online portal for an on-location, behind-the-scenes TV show highlighting the videogame industry of the same name. Done in a magazine-style format, the TV show features interviews with game developers, celebrity gamer segments, previews of upcoming games, industry news, technology features, as well as a look at the latest gadgets, toys. No gaming show is complete without reviews of comics that gamers love, so that’s in there too. Done online, snippets of the show are supposedly streamed. At the time of this review, we were unable to get their media player to launch, so we could not review any of the site’s content.
The hosts claim that along with some super special effects, they also have wacky senses of humor, making The Electric Playground a show that’s as much fun to watch as games are to play. You will be the judge of that…if you can get their player to ever launch correctly. Viewed on Quicktime.
