Explore the world of Lets Plays!

This is the default text

The concept of ‘Lets Plays’ have been around for a while, an ideal way to experience the latest games, for those who don’t have the time, money or commitment to do so for themselves. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that like me though, most of you just haven’t got the time or the money to play each-and-every game that pips your interest, commitment is certainly not a problem!

The concept of a ‘lets play’ is essentially where a hardcore gamer records their experience of a game, whilst jabbering away like a madman; providing a sort of game-orientated-commentary alongside the visual treat of new gameplay footage. I’ve found someone who is not only quite amusing, but also appears to have both the time and the money to play just about any game he wants. Jealous much?

Not only that, but this guy also appears to have a blindingly fast internet connection, and also gives the impression that he does everything right the first time, resulting in limited editing necessary post recording, and rather quick uploading of his videos. He also covers a wide variety of games, from the latest releases to old forgotten classics, working alongside a requests system, allowing his viewers to shape the course of his lets play videos. I’ve provided a couple of his YouTube account stats below for those who aren’t quite convinced yet;

In case you haven’t clicked on one of those links yet, the YouTube user in question is in fact one ‘Arm4g3dd0nX‘, who has been shamelessly plugged no end in this article. What can I say, I’m a big fan of his work! I’ve also attached the first real episode of his Fear 2 playthrough as I remember this lets play in particular to have been quite impressive.
