Blippo+

Fui procurar prata e encontrei ouro! Achei que esse jogo seria estilo Not For Broadcast ou Nightmare Zapping, onde vc iria interagir com os programas ou canais. Em vez disso, vc é o espectador de uma TV alienígena, com seus costumes, personagens pitorescos e programas únicos (e melhores que muitos que se encontram em nosso planeta atualmente). Alguns podem reclamar que o jogo não tem interação nenhuma, que é só ficar olhando os programas até liberar a programação nova. Mas os programas em si são bem feitos, vale a pena ver todos.

You guys are making me lose my mind with your outright SLACKING on not buying this alien TV service, marathoning it, becoming huge fans of Debbie Diner, and most importantly, REVIEWING it! What, you're gonna let the confetti cowboys down?? You're letting the quizzard down?? Unbelievable.

Blippo looooooooves TV! And therein is the game's greatest flaw: it is not a video game, per se. You watch some TV, and then you watch some more TV, and then you watch some more TV. Who cares about understanding the rules of video games, with risks and rewards and lives and narrative game structure? We have TV! In Blippo, you channel surf and watch the one-minute films, until the game decides that you've seen enough of the channels in the current batch, at which point it unleashes a new batch of channels upon you. That's it. If you find the videos entertaining and cool, it's a pleasant way to spend a few hours. If you find the humor cloying or amateur, you're in for a rough time. Ergo, this is not strictly a game, as there are no win/lose conditions -- there is merely watching new packettes, or not watching new packettes. Still, you should ABSOLUTELY BUY THIS TOY, because it does take risks and it tries hard to be something different and novel. And you DESPERATELY WANT something different and novel. Granted, it doesn't even have the interactivity of Night Trap or of Supreme Warrior. But it is trying hard, dammit, and you want more full-throated experiments like this one to see the light of day.
