• "Gamers the film definitely has something to offer everyone, its irreverent humor is a perfect mix of wit and obscenity that plays well off the subject matter."

• "9 out 10 Stars"
  – The Dude

• "The movie is sharp and witty, and sort of slams SPINAL TAP into OFFICE SPACE, with an episode of FAMILY GUY stuck in the middle."
  – Ian Bonds

• "If you've ever sunk endless hours of dedication and love into a game or an RPG character, you'll understand exactly what the guys in Gamers are going through."

  – Derek McCaw

• "Gamers is cruel, dark, insulting and almost pathetic, but for anyone that's ever rolled a character, this is your film. It combines charm and cynicism to create a very realistic scenario, and had fun along the way. I'd garner that this'll hit for 2d10+2 on your funny bone."
