I am “glad” (pun intended) that they are adding new games. I do question some of their new game choices. I love Atlasphere and Skytrack. However, I just saw a video of Vertigo from the UK Gladiators. Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=msOi6mQBTGc I must say, I was not overly excited. It’s an interesting idea, but as far as a contender vs. gladiator race, I prefer the Pole-Axe. Check it out here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ahwsoBdwPnU I was never a fan of Snapback. In fact, in my opinion, it was one of the things that helped the original AG to Jump the Shark. Tug-of-War was a fun game. Based on what David said about Rocketball, it seems like what the Brits called Catapult: http://youtube.com/watch?v=okpP1_VUjgA&feature=related If this is correct, then again it doesn’t thrill me, because I saw it when they did it on “Guts.” I hope I’m wrong. As far as Sideswipe, I am intrigued. I think this will be an interesting season, and I wish it well.

Actually, that’s not Swingshot- it’s a new game called Rocketball (it’s sorta Swingshot in reverse…the players have to throw balls into goals while launching themselves in the air)

Here’s the full list of games that are new this season:

Skytrack (the UK version, not the US one)

Atlasphere

Snapback

Tilt (UK version of Tug-o-war)

Rocketball

Vertigo

Sideswipe (not much known about this one)

An NBC promo revealed two of the other ‘new’ games that will be added — they’re both revivals from the first AG incarnation:

Sky Track and Swingshot.
