    Hmm... Sadly, this is not a Top 7 I can relate to... Since I really never found it appealing to stop, y'know... playing, in order to watch an in-game show. Then again, I probably have missed out, if this top 7 is to be believed XD

    God, I forgot that Max Payne 2's full title was "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne". What a horrible title for a pretty great game.

    Good list. I also liked the voice of survival from infamous. I thought it added a bit of depth to the world.

    I fell asleep watching TV while playing GTA IV several times. Seems silly. I just wish you could control the channels better, so you could watch what you want. I was sad that the TVs in Saints Row 3 didn't have any shows like GTA IV.

    I think Dr. Breen's televised broadcasts against Freeman in Half-Life 2 are the best. Especially in the final chapter, when he knows you're going to beat his face in with a crowbar and he's trying to talk you down. I love Half-Life 2.

    I'm so glad The Fall of Max Payne was included in this one. My favorite was the Victorian soap opera. Seriously.....I swear to god that the women were all picture of men in drag!

    No Saints Row: The Third? No Prey? Darn.

    It could be worse. It could have been "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Starring Max Payne as Max Payne. Max Payne Edition."

    I liked it when he got killed >>

    Mega Man Legends 2 should get a mention. I'm pretty sure that's the first case of a watchable TV included in a game. Sure, it only showed a short animated gif but it was still incredible to see on a PS1 and helped make the world feel alive.

    I really don't like the new article format, but great article anyway Mikel :)

    Persona 4 was made for this list

    I like how in the first Infamous there are the broadcasts that either call you a terrorist or just ignore you.

    If I remember correctly, Prey didn't have TV. I know they the songs on the Jukebox, but I don't think there was TV. It's been a while though, so I could be wrong.

  • kyle94 - March 19, 2012 4:20 p.m.

    Or how about "Max Payne 2: Paynrevengeance" or "Max Payne 2: Payne to the Max"

  • lemur - March 19, 2012 4:25 p.m.

    Yeah I was about to say that. Every time there is a TV in HL2 I have to stop and watch it. Infamous also has some pretty cool new brocasts.

  • Inthedistrict - March 19, 2012 5:29 p.m.

    What about the silent movie in Red Dead Redemption?

  • shawksta - March 19, 2012 5:55 p.m.

    Yeah well, thats self explanatory, its a silent movie, not a TV

  • xarab4lyfex - March 19, 2012 6:17 p.m.

    agreed

  • theycallmegep - March 19, 2012 7:05 p.m.
