''Good Game: Spawn Point'' (abbreviated as ''Good Game SP'' or ''GG:SP''), is a spin-off (also described as a "sister program") of the original ''Good Game'', and reviews video games that are rated G or PG. The show professes to be "For young gamers, by gamers". It debuted on ABC3 on 20 February 2010. Good Game Spawn Point is now the highest rated show broadcast on ABC3.〔http://www.theaustralian.com.au/media/abc-to-launch-new-kids-digital-tv-channel-abc3/story-e6frg996-1225790132286〕 ==Production== There is perhaps a misconception over whether Good Game: Spawn Point is for all gamers or just younger gamers. Though the tagline might imply otherwise, it has been explicitly stated on the show and in promotional material that it is a family show, and as it reviews G and PG games it is suitable for all ages. The ABC has described the show as "featur() a family friendly mix of gamer reviews, stories about gaming culture and plenty of audience interaction".〔 The show sometimes gives behind the scenes looks at production studios, such as Bubble Gum Interactive, which was showcased on 2 July 2011. PlayStrat said, "The standard "Good Game" edition is a more adult oriented series - which includes reviews of games that fall into more mature classifications (i.e. they include violence, sexual content, profanity). It's good, therefore, that the show has the "Spawn Point" variant to allow the younger crowd to get their fill as well. Even as an adult gamer, I occasionally like to watch the games reviewed on Spawn Point as some I wouldn't mind playing". The show originally ran for 15 minutes, but was extended to 30 minutes per episode from Series 2, Episode 21 on 2 July 2011. Bajo said, "The 30-minute show will allow us to review more games, produce more stories about game culture and delve deeper into gaming’s rich history". Janet Carr said Spawn Point "is achieving a total TV share of 16.2% among children 5-12 years old and it’s average audience share is up 114% on series one. Series two has been extended due to the enormous response from the audience and it will give gamers more ways to interact with the show and make it their own".〔 In 2011, the Spawn Point reaches 166,000 viewers per episode. From Series 2, the show currently airs at 9 AM on Saturdays. Originally it aired at 7:25 PM on Saturdays. In 2011, Good Game offered their viewers the chance to be game testers for the racing game Alternator. If selected, they had to play the game, record any bugs they found, and fill out a questionnaire.〔http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/goodgamesp/transcripts/s3191324.htm〕 As the show is "for younger gamers", it is not suitable to review games rated M, MA15+ or R18+. Hex says "occasionally we might give you a glimpse of a mature title but only where it's necessary to make a point", and adds that the contentious content would always be excluded.〔http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/goodgamesp/transcripts/s2880111.htm〕 On 1 July 2011, TV Tonight said "Together with ABC2′s Good Game, Good Game: SP has reached over 1.3 million vodcasts, the most downloaded vodcasts of any ABC programme this year. ABC3’s Good Game: SP website has recorded 254,000 visits and 1.6 million page views since January."〔 Bajo said Ask Good Game is "my favourite part of the show, reading those letters and making the noises".〔http://www.topiama.com/r/1458/bajo-and-hex-hosts-of-australian-tv-shows-good〕 He added "It's my dream that one day kids might look back on GGSP in the way I look back on shows from my youth, I hope we do it well enough that this might happen."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Game: Spawn Point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
