Recently it was reported that Korea has a new Game Show based around contestants competing in Mario Kart DS. Well there's another game show that has become popular in Korea too: 360 Live Attack!

There doesn't seem to be any contestants in the show, nor are there prizes. Instead, a portion of the show involves the hosts updating viewers on any new XBox 360 news, then the host chats and competes with random XBox Live players online.

MBC Game, the network that primarily shows reruns of Starcraft matches in Korea, has a program dedicated for Xbox gamers called 360 Live Attack. It starts out similar to a news program with two announcers talking about the latest Xbox 360 games. The episode I watched showed Lost Odyssey, which just arrived in Korea, and had some footage of Devil May Cry 4. However, the program doesn’t get its name from rolling interview footage with a member of the Korean Xbox division.

Once the news portion ended, the female announcer grabbed a controller and logged on to Xbox Live. Before playing a game she spoke to a fellow Xbox Live player through an Xbox Vision webcam chat. I doubt this portion was spontaneous. However, I pondered if the other two players playing Viva Pinata: Party Animals knew there game was going to be broadcasted throughout South Korea.

In this episode they were playing Viva Pinata: Party Animals. However, quickly glancing through hyodor81's Gamertag it looks like the show has access to Halo 3, Winning Eleven X, Gears of War and Virtua Fighter 5.
