Test Chamber – Deep Black

Test Chamber

Biart's Deep Black series is now on Xbox Live. Jeff Cork, Jason Oestreicher, and I dove into it hoping for intense underwater action. What we got instead was monotonous pop-and-shoot gunplay. Odds are you'll have more fun jumping around in a puddle than batting robot fish in this game. After this video concluded, I continued the journey, and found the next hour of gameplay to be just as uneventful and uninspired. Let's hope Biart doesn't make the same mistakes with Diving: Jurassic Monsters.

I was about to go to bed, but okay!

You underestimate how much fun jumping around in a puddle can be. Y u no Super Replay yet?

Good to see you guys aren't weeding out less-than-stellar games for Test Chamber.

Edit: Also, 3 people on Test Chamber. Any chance of a full "Replay-type" cast of 4 in the future?
by Dima Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:05 PM

This is pretty much like replay only with newer games instead of older games, minus the generally fun cast. Still worth watching though :)

Okay, Test Chamber is rapidly becoming my favorite GIO series.
by Pherostatic Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:15 PM

Game has pretty good graphics, looks crappy otherwise. I'd agree with Reiner there needs to be alot more underwater games. Lately I've been craving something even as simple as an 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea adventure game.

Test Chamber with three guys? More like TESTOSTERONE Chamber. Am I right?
by csl316 Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:27 PM

In the Hunt and Critical Depth, ftw. Where are my sequels!!?
by thankin1 Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:38 PM

Yay for staying up 30 minutes later than I planned! Love me some Test Chamber
by thankin1 Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:39 PM

BTW Jurassic Monsters looks dope
by WUMBOL0GY Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 10:59 PM

COOL! I actually discovered this game on the pirate bay XD would have bought it, but it runs horribly on my computer. Can't wait to watch this!
by Commander Shepard Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 11:11 PM

I'm loving the hell out of Test chamber, it's replay with newer games. It's awesome!
by Dragon Slayer Ornstein Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 11:27 PM

Test Chamber is great! The player model in this looks like a hybrid of Isaac Clarke and Master Chief.
by Boyzby Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 11:38 PM

Wooh, another Test Chamber! I've never heard of this game, but after reading the article, that's probably not a bad thing. :P
by InavsivePlague Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 01:01 AM

I'm disappointed they never dragged someone into the water with the harpoon.

Yahoo!

I'd never heard of this game before this Test Chamber episode, either. It's weird--you'd think that a game with the production values of Deep Black would have had some marketing behind it so the developer could make money off of it. It looks like a competent, yet wholly unspectacular, shooter.
by xghost777 Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 02:00 AM

I love that we keep getting more Test Chambers so quickly. Keep up the great work.

Also, The Legendary Starfy is the best underwater game I've played. (That I can think of)
