	Wipeout (AUS) (1999 -) - Australian Game Show Home Page
		The show where picking the wrong answers from the answer board could lead to a wipeout.
		This modern version of Wipeout follows a similiar format to that of the American version of the late 1980's.
		This is, in my opinion, the best kids game show format of recent times here in Oz - great set, great host and decent prizes (and may I say the US grown-up version from yesteryear isn't half bad either!).

		In a reality show the competition usually lasts several days or even weeks and a competitor's progress through the game is based on some form of popularity contest, usually a kind of disapproval voting by their fellow competitors or members of the public.

	Wipeout Pure :: PSP :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		Wipeout Pure is a futurist racing game that allows you to race in high-speed vehicles that hover off of the track and will remind you of how two magnets repel each other when you try to push both positive ends together.
		Wipeout was one of the first racing games for the original PlayStation back in 1995 and it just seemed fitting that Sony would bring out a new version on PSP for it's launch.
		Wipeout Pure is a solid launch title that may get better in the next few months if Sony follows through with their promised downloadable ships, tracks, music, and interface themes.

	PYL Interview: Scott Hostetler
		Press Your Luck has always remained one of the most popular game shows of the genre, and whenever you look at the opening montages of the show, some of the most remembered contestants are shown doing their thing.
		He's been on several shows over the years, and most recently, he was a champion on the PYL revival Whammy!, and GSN still shows Scott in their commercials to this day.
		I started going to game show auditions when I was in college in 1978, when my aunt asked me to drive her to an audition for WHEEL OF She asked the contestant co-ordinator if I could try-out since I was there and was kind enough to drive her.

		Like one of the famous games in the The Price is Right (the 'Race Game') the contestant could hit a button to make the computer reveal how many correct answers they had until either they ran out of time or found all six.
		If further evidence of the cheapening of the show were needed, this was the first time Bob Monkhouse in his 2-zillion year career had done a daytime show.
		Some celebrity shows were later shown, but these were not enough to excuse a messed-up revamp on this grand a scale.

		He hosted the show with a style all his own for four great years; years you can see daily on Game Show Network, and the USA Network before it.
		I doubt that "Press Your Luck" was among the harder game shows to host - the questions were not demanding, all anyone has to do is keep up with the information on the scoreboard, read whatever is on the hit screen, and occasionally mention the price of a prize that was hit.
		On "Wipeout," Peter was able to bring the excitement from "Press Your Luck" to a game that was more about knowledge (or at least assumed knowledge) than straight up luck.

	Levels of Sound
		Cutscenes represent video games (and their music) at their least interactive, where the player is watching passively as he would a film, and therefore the potential emotional effect of the music on the player is just as great as it would be for a film score.
		The game focuses on a girl named Terra and her mysterious connection to a group of magical beings called Espers; the player is drawn into the struggle to reveal Terra's shadowy past while battling an evil mastermind bent on destroying the world.
		In-game version of "Swan Theme." The rallentandos, crescendos, and decrescendos that Sanger employed in this translation of Tchaikovsky's famous theme were all brand-new to the game music world at the time, but his work proved that game music could be held up to the same standards as traditional classical music.

		This is the highest honor that we bestow upon a PlayStation Portable game, and with it we acknowledge the one game that stands out from all the rest as being the greatest, most highly recommendable game of the year.
		Wipeout Pure is a joy to look at, and it's viscerally satisfying enough to please fans of the series and new players alike.
		The simple genius behind this puzzle game can best be compared to Tetris, and yet it doesn't just derive from what made the most classic of all puzzle games great, but brings its own brand of ingenuity to the table.

		SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Peter Tomarken, who was the host of numerous TV game shows including the long-running "Press Your Luck," was killed Monday along with his wife when the small plane he was piloting on a volunteer medical mission to San Diego crashed into Santa Monica Bay.
		His first game show, in 1983, was "Hit Man," in which contestants climbed a ladder by answering questions about a short story.
