Zero Punctuation ranter Yahtzee’s moved beyond a pilot for Australian games show Game Damage, releasing a round-up video of what to expect from its first season. See it after the break.

Looks a lot like the pilot, non-oddly. Not sure when episode one’s going to appear.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

Zero Punctuation review man Yahtzee’s made a TV show pilot with some Australian buddies called GameDamage.

The 30-minute show’s embedded after the link.

It features the Brit down under being told to “settle down” by a co-presenter, a trip to see Edge of Twilight and someone dressed as Master Chief walking round an Australian city.

See for yourself.

Speaking here, EA Hasbro Studio boss Chip Lange has backed up yesterday’s partnership announcement with an interview about how simply wonderful the whole deal is. Chip’s properly loving it.

Hasbro’s back catalogue is “unmatched by probably any other toy or game IP holder,” he said. “Let’s just put it this way: There are far more brands there than I could ever operationalize at this company. So it’s an embarrassment of riches.”

Go Chip. Scrabble, Yahtzee and some younger stuff was announced yesterday. All the Americans are begging for a GI Joe game as well, but we’re British, so we don’t understand why.

Looks as though the nuking of Scrabulous last month wasn’t exactly coincidental. EA today confirmed Scrabble and Monopoly for multiple platforms as part of a sizeable deal with Hasbro. Did you know EA had a “Hasbro Studio”?

“EA and Hasbro want to give families new ways to enjoy games; we want give them a new way to come together, connect, spend time and have fun around the TV or online,” said Chip Lange, vice president and general manager of EA’s Hasbro Studio. “Bringing the spirit of these games to life as video games has allowed us to create really unique and creative experiences for families and friends of all ages to enjoy together at home or online.”
