Did anyone else check out this new show on SciFi Tuesday night? Granted, it's isn't the most intelligent of TV shows, but I really enjoyed it for what it was. Mostly because I have always wanted to play a game like this. Real life video games? Sign me up!
Anyway, for those that didn't see it, the premise is there are 10 people who are set out on a virtual video game course. On this course are objects to be picked up, whether it be money added to their total or equipment to help them out. While running around this course, other people known as "Hunters" are set out and they chase the competitors around trying to catch and eliminate them from the game. Along the way the competitors can pick up objects to either stop the Hunters in their tracks or make them move the other way. Towards the end of the game (60 minutes game time), the host will inform the remaining players where the finish line is and then it's a mad scramble to get there first and to avoid the Hunters at the same time.
Like I said, it's not intelligent TV, but it's fun if you are into video games and would love to participate in something like this. All I kept thinking while watching this was why couldn't I have heard about these tryouts and gotten in. I would absolutely love to play this game.
