You may have heard of this, but you also may not have. What is it, well like the header alludes to, it is a new reality TV show on Sci Fi showing who is the ultimate gamer out of a selection of 12 professional, and extremely good gamers. Yes, I know it sounds odd at first, but let me explain, or at least watch the trailer below, or check out their site.
See, not only do they take real gamers, people you might have actually played against at some point, but they also test them to see if they can do these virtual skills in the real world as well. Not to mention if they can handle the gaming side under different and unusual circumstances. For example, during a game of Project Gotham Racing, being inverted in the chair and playing at a very off angle. Or actually having to play a real guitar after showing off their skills with Rock Band. All kinds of twists and turns it would seem. I would go in deeper, but most of the further info I have was asked to be off record, so really only what is explained in the trailer can be gone into.
But take a look. I am actually excited to see how this goes out. Looks like I will have something to look forward to watch this coming March. Also, take a look at the contestants, you might see some familiar faces here. Even though they can't talk about it.
