(Yeah, apparently the show began in '98  )  This show was f***ing hilarious. Loved it, and they were really good at the actual game talk and reviews to boot. (P.S., Morgan Webb is pretty.) |

I agree about Morgan Webb, but I had more of a crush on Ronilyn Reilly (She was on that news show) and Amanda McKay, who were also on G4. Then again, G4 had a lot of hot women.

I was never much of a gamer but I thought the show was entertaining. Still follow both of them on twitter. Adam is pretty active.

I liked the show and liked the skits and comedy. Eventually I tuned out the reviews because of the bias toward online play. So I give it 3 Stars out of 5.

I always liked Morgan well enough, but Sessler was really grating to me on this show, like a bad nerd caricature. After X-Play ended and he started up with Rev3 I found I enjoyed Sessler a lot more, so I'm guessing it was just the scripting on X-Play that made him seem so lame.

Loved it. Then they changed hosts and I kinda fell out of Gaming, so meh, but it was really cool for a while.
Also, Holy shit, Morgan Webb. God damn.

X play was on in 98??? Wow. That brief time in g4s golden age was fun. Xplay and attack of the show. Web soup and code monkeys. It was a fun couple of years and im not even a gamer.

I watched Sessler since it was Gamespot TV, then Extended Play, then X-Play.
I enjoyed the show a lot, but I get that by the end, they seemed cramped under the format.

Man, such a love/hate relationship with this. '98 and '99, it was about games. Then, skits. Sketches. Bits. So many of the comedy interludes were just .... why?

I started watching with Extended Play when it was Sessler and...Kate? I remember being wowed at seeing a video game show on tv again after so many years of that stuff kinda going away. Then it became X-Play, and it was one of the few shows after the G4 merger that was still watchable. Humor was hit or miss, but I'm glad it had a long tenure. My favorite bit was Meet The Sess.

I consider X-Play an influence to the way I write Monster Crap, with random people showing up for a great joke.

The main reason I beat Dead Rising was the X-Play special.
Also remember the Mario 1-1 challenge the later version did with guests? Thomas Jane just did not have a shit to give.

I liked the show to a point. Until the whole Too Human thing.
If you don't remember X-Play gave the game an incredible amount of coverage in the lead up to its release. And when the game came out to be critically panned by pretty much everyone. X-Play gave the game to sometimes fill in host Blair Herter to review and have he gave it a postive review whiling telling us to just give it a chance. And then they used it in a best of package at the end of the year.
It was obvious there was some sort of sponsorship deal going here.

I suck at video games, but that show was great.
Loved Morgan, but I was also a big Tina Wood fan.
WTH in my research Grace Helbig was AotS!? Wha...

WTH in my research Grace Helbig was AotS!? Wha... Apparently, she was on during the dying days of AotS (which I don't remember since I couldn't get G4 at home). As for AotS, Kevin Pereira has essentially created the spiritual sequel to it known as The Attack! on Twitch. It has a decent following on there, and a few of the former co-hosts have been on a few times. |
