Despite outselling CDs, DVDs and chips, decent TV shows about videogames are as rare as rocking horse dung. The exception was BBC Scotland's cruelly axed Video Gaiden, which cut to the heart of videogame reviews by revealing that Super Mario Galaxy is "a wee fat man floating around in space having the time of his life". Its presenters, Rab and Ryan, are still at large online - with extra Glaswegian swearing. Cleverly, their online show is now broken down into small, YouTube nuggets, which destroys some of the surreal wonder but makes it easier to dip into. New clips are coming, but the existential crisis of a Bond girl is recommended.
