Ultimate Gamer Finale
Posted on Apr 30, 2009 under Game Talk |
This week’s Ultimate Gamer was the final showdown. The show started with three contestants left - Robert, Mark, and Jamal. One was about to be eliminated. Jamal was eliminated as he had the lowest Halo score of the three remaining players. Jamal admitted that Halo wasn’t his best game. Next Mark and Robert prepared to face off at Samsung Stadium.
They did get to choose one former player to help them prepare for the three games they would be playing - Shawn White Snowboarding, Gears of War, and Soulcalibur 4. Robert chose Swoozie and Mark chose Jamal. Robert figured Swoozie could offer some advice on fighting games while Mark knew Jamal was really good at Soulcalibur.
At Samsung Stadium, the first game was Shawn White Snowboarding. A victory would score 1 point. The player to reach three points wins the game. Mark won the game and scored one point. Up next was Gears of War. The winner would receive 2 points. Robert won that showdown. The final game was Soulcalibur 4 that was worth 3 points.
The first player to win 5 matches would be the Ultimate Gamer. Robert got off to a blazing start and won the first four pretty convincingly. Then Mark came from behind to take the next five matches and won. Mark was crowned the Ultimate Gamer.
Mark was definitely the underdog but showed that he is a very adaptable and capable gamer. Congrats to Mark and all the contestants. I do hope they do this show again.
