Want to join Gaming Television?

There’s a new kid in UK gaming TV launching some time “in April”. They’re calling themselves XLeague.tv. They were announced a few weeks ago – GamesIndustry.biz has the details:

…XLEAGUE.TV will enable gamers to compete across the latest videogame platforms, in a wide variety of genres – including racing, third-person shooters and real-time strategy.

XLEAGUE.TV will integrate the latest news, reviews and chart shows within both online and broadcast platforms, with the website being a one-stop shop for all the latest gaming entertainment. In addition to this, all subscribers and players on XLEAGUE.TV will be provided with their own personal page to update their scores, fixtures and challenge other playters [sic] within open or season play.

GamesIndustry.biz – XLeague.tv Press Release

More to the point, there’s an “open day” in London this coming Thursday, 12th April 2007. From the ad:

We’re looking for presenters, commentators, gambits and more!
If you know your stuff about games and would like to know more, e-mail contact@xleague.tv

I did email them last Thursday to get a few more details. As it’s Easter weekend, I’m guessing there won’t be a reply until at least Tuesday. I’ll update this post if I hear anything more. In the meantime, you can head over to their website and have a gander at some trailers and video reviews. I, for one, was not enamoured by the voice-overs, particularly on the Gears of War review. Too much plot exposition, not enough review.

If you think you can do better, get in contact with them. You can find them at (surprisingly enough) http://www.xleague.tv/ or just use their email address above.

Edit 11th March 2007 No response from XLeague.tv to my email. Bit poor, really. Has anyone else heard from them?
