    I stopped at a gas station/c-store on my way home, they had Game Fuel fridgemates (cool design, btw), and 20oz, which were 2/$2.

    I was able to find Mountain Dew Game Fuel at a nearby Walgreens on Friday here in Chicago...


    I really, really wanted to like this drink. It's substantially different from Code Red, which I think is the obvious comparison. I actually think the flavor shares a lot in common with LiveWire, if that makes any sense. It's to cherry sodas what LiveWire is to orange... same intended flavor, but not quite.

    Upon first tasting, it was good, but I personally fell that the aftertaste is what kills this drink in my opinion. It's substantially lacking and suffers from a medicine-y flavor. That was somewhat disappointing to me.

    It's not a horrible drink, but could have been so much better.

    For those interested (or completely bored out of their minds ), my full review.

    I'm hooked on this stuff. The taste is very sweet and artificial, yet somehow very appealing. It's like Tahitian Treat but with a caffeine bite to offset the sweetness a little. Sometimes I also think it tastes like a cross between LiveWire and Baja Blast. In any case, this is on my A-list for now, though I can see myself getting sick of it.

    Thumbs up

    Game Fuel is available in Vermont! [owned]. Personally I love the flavor. To me it actually tastes like melon but I have a bad cold right now so my taste buds probably arent working to well. More importantly though, than the taste, is that I think it will appeal to the gaming market, which is what Pepsi was aiming for, im sure.

    This one kinda tasted like candy or something. And it's good.

    I really wanted to like this drink, but it just tasted weird to me. Which sucks, because I usually like cherry based sodas. Oh well. Baja Blast remains the only Dew I like.

    I like Game Fuel, more caffeine for the same price The taste, I am all but completely sure, shares similarities with either AMP or that cherry AMP(overdrive?).

    I'm quite sure there is an AMP flavor profile involved.. There is a strong flavor connection to the AMP's I've tried.

    I wouldnt doubt if its a mix of an AMP base and a regular dew base. Possibly they've integrated the orange AMP they were testing into the flavor, who knows.

    Good stuff though, the description "Cherry Citrus" should have remained off the label, and just make it more of a weird/secret flavor like a dr.pepper.
