If you want to know everything there is to be known about your favorite games and more than that, if you'd like to get the chance to learn better ways of having fun playing those games, Lifeskool's "Gamer Dojo" Series is what you need. The premiere will be on April 19, hosted by total and ultimate gamers Jonathan Drubner and Jessica Chobot. Did I just say that? Who in their right mind would want to tune in to something like this? Wouldn't you feel like an idiot if you needed instructions on how to play already idiotproof games today? Take MK Shaolin Monks: "Learn to perform quick attacks, power attacks, launching attacks and throws," telling you to press square, triangle, circle and X like you could miss them or something.

The show will most likely be for console gamers as titles like Gears of War, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Tony Hawk: Project 8 and God of War II are set for the Tips To Play Like a Pro column, sporting everything from game play basics to multiplayer tactics and field tests to help gamers uncover hidden items and advanced techniques for the latest releases. OK, with secrets and hidden items I agree.

Jonathan Drubner, host of LIFESKOOL's Gamer Dojo said: "The best video games are designed to be difficult for even the most avid gamers to master. Gamer Dojo brings gamers the essential tools to conquer the intricacies of gaming with serious instruction so anyone can play like a pro." And you'd feel good about yourself having finished a couple of stages of God of War 2 with Gamer Dojo's help, right? The only thing I'd be interested in, in this series, is the comparisons of Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 and certainly not the advanced gaming techniques, moves and complex boss strategies.

Then of course you'll have the "Best Game Ever" category, tracking the progression of classic video game series like The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania and Metroid and (like you didn't know it) the "Worst Game Ever" category, featuring games such as Shaq Fu or ET on Atari. Clearly if you don't need instructions and insider tips to play your games (not that they aren't useful or anything), you probably didn't even bother to read the second paragraph, so a thousand thanks to who read to whole piece.
