SciFi Channel attempts another reality show, WCG Ultimate Gamer

Despite the failures of Chase and Estate of Panic, SciFi has decided to take on another reality show, this time relating closely to those who like video games.  The premise of the show pits contestants who think they are the best gamer in the world by going through gaming competition.  Many of the aspects of the show resemble that of other reality shows that deal with modernity: living together in a loft or apartment, drama, alliances, hatred toward one another, swearing, etc.  The prize?  $100,000 and being a representative for WCG (World Cyber Games) across the world and an electronics package.  This show looks to be around far longer than Chase or Estate of Panic, but it has to for the fact that each week, at least one gamer gets eliminated.  The series of games the contestants will go through range from real video games to simulated video games.  This show will at least air 12 episodes with the possiblity for more for another season.  It is possible the popularity of this show will surpass the others because it is dealing with a subject matter that’s close to “kids” of all ages.  The first show has already aired on Tuesday, March 10, however, a repeat show can be seen on the SciFi Channel Sunday, 9:00 AM ET.
