Video game mascots used to be all the rage in the late 80’s to the late 90’s. Similar to the Hollywood “star system” of the 1940’s, back in the day, there was a tremendous drive to create and push mascots by game companies. What happened?

Three reviews of the Play Value series:

1.
Tilzy.tv: 'Play Value' is Raising the Bar

"In fact, while hard-core gamers are sure to love Play Value, the show isn't necessarily made for them, but rather for casual gamers, history buffs, or folks like me, who enjoy the trip down memory lane." -03.03.08

2.
Ruralcity Blog: Podcasts on Apple TV

"The production quality is high – the video itself is in 720p high definition, and the experts, who provide commentary on the topics such as the rise and fall of Atari or the torrid backstory behind Tetris making its way outside the Iron Curtain, are actually a little more believable as “experts” than, say, the B-list celebrities VH1 trots out for Top 100 Songs of the 90s. Definitely worth a view." -02.15.08
