Info Wanted: Icons - G4?
Time

Hi everybody. Anyone remember the G4TV program Icons? Well, you might know it as Game Makers, as they renamed the old episodes that didn’t focus on pop culture. It was a fun little show, with each episode focusing on a particular innovation/series in video game history. I know the star Wars episode has been saved, but have any of the other episodes been? There’s youtube, but… well, that’s youtube.

Thank you in advance if anyone has any information.

Since music has worked out so far, I'm gonna once again delay my hard sell - actually, this one will probably be a difficult one as well.

The cover art, I imagine, is a turn-off to some. Looking a little too anime-y, you say? Well... yeah, the game has the cutesy anime look a lot of times. But that's not what matters; instead, consider the music. Before Harmonix made it big with Guitar Hero, rhythm games on the PS2 relied on button coordination or following some sorts of patterns with a regular controller. Gitaroo Man is one of said games.

What makes it unique? Certainly not the story, it's generic anime tripe. However, the music is simply [u]wonderful[/u]. It's varied, from acoustic ballads to bluesy jazz[/url]. Each stage has its own style of music. As it progresses, it gets rather difficult - I'm still stuck on... stage 8 or 9 (SOOO CLOSE TO THE END!). If you're still a PS2 gamer, give this a shot. Also, there's a PSP remake called Gitaroo Man Lives that's easier to find.
