Ultimate Gamer 6 to 2
Posted on Apr 22, 2009 under Game Talk |
The gamers were thrown a big curveball last night as they were challenged to the Gauntlet. Even more news was that at the end of each leg of the Gauntlet, a gamer would leave the competition. By the end, there would be only two gamers left.
The first game was Project Gotham Racing 4 but with a twist - players had to race upside down. The person who came in last was Chelsea - the PC gamer who has held her own playing Xbox 360 games. Jamal finished first and had actually said that sometimes for a challenge he will play games upside down. Jamal won an advantage for round two. He would get to handicap the gamer of his choice.
The second game in the Gauntlet was Rock Band 2. The twist here was that players had to play both guitar and drums at the same time. Special controllers were brought in that allowed gamers to play the drum part with their feet. Jamal penalized Mark - so he only got to practice through the song ‘Eye of the Tiger’ instead of 2 like the rest of the gamers. In the end it was Amy - the last female standing - who came in last and therefore eliminated. Swoozie came in first.
That left four gamers and the toughest challenge was yet to come. The game was Halo 3. The challenge was to play all night -standing up - on a platform. Swoozie got a five minute frag fest which he was glad to have won since he was the weakest Halo player.
After a few temptations like food and money the 9 hour slayer match ended at 4am. Swoozie came in last -leaving just three players. Robert came in first and secured his spot in the final. Either Mark or Jamal will be eliminated next from their Halo score. Next week is the finale and will begin with the next elimination and then the two finalists will face off at Samsung Stadium.
