Video: Mystery Steam Reviews - Britain gets controversialOne for the history books
One for the history books
The quiz segment ofThe PC Gaming Weekspotregularly brings about some heated discussion. But, more often than not, both myself and Matthew know that it’s all in the spirit of competition. When all is said and done, there’s still a level of respect there.
This week’sMystery Steam Reviewsis different. I knew focusing on games set in Britain could bring some controversy, but I genuinely wasn’t expecting what happened.
There was a little leeway when selecting games set in Britain, but picking an F1 game because of Silverstone wasn’t going to cut it. You can watch the video to see if everyone stuck to the rules.
Also, I did want to point out that we had some tech issues on this week’s Weekspot, so the video isn’t as smooth as normal. Apologies. But all will be back to normal next week.

MYSTERY STEAM REVIEWS RULE BIBLE™
For those not in the know, or who need a refresher.
Colm and Matthew both bringthreeSteam reviews to the MSR arena (yes, arena), but they omit the name of the game each review is for. Their opponent must correctly guess the name of that game, including any numbers or subtitles. However, there is some leeway for things such as “Complete Edition” or “Definitive Edition.” One correct answer = one point.
While both combatants have90 secondson each Mystery Steam Review, they also have help in the form of three lifelines. These can be used at any stage during battle, and pause the 90-second timer. Each lifeline can only be used once.
Questionallows whoever is in the hot seat to ask a simple yes or no question, as long as the question isn’t, “is the name of the game [insert name of the game here]?". WhenSecond Opinionis used, the man in the warm chair will get to hear a second Steam review of the same game. And whenGenreis activated, the genre of the game is revealed to the man with the fiery arse.
