That's Adam and Morgan?i'll admit, i only got into X-play 2 years ago, but this just astounds me. They seem..... Normal for some reason. Adam isn't playing the total Jerk loser, and Morgan isn't being a Total Byach. if this was how the show was on Tech TV, than i'd much rather it.

I used to like that wimpy guy and that Italian-looking dude they used to have reviewing games.
Sessler is just too annoying to watch for very long.

ok apparently I'm the only one who likes X-Play now over X-Play then. Earlier X-Play they would bash the hell out of a game then give it a 3, at least now they're getting the numbers right.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but that skit where Morgan had a bad Austrian accent was kind of sexy.

(Alt Response: Guess I'm the only one who likes X-Play.) I still like it when i can catch it, but they change the times so damn often it's hard to know when it's on. I honestly prefer the bashing reviews since they are usually more entertaining.

TechTV as a whole was much better than the crap they show now. It's basically Spike TV now.

I like X-Play to pass the time, but I always take what they say with a grain of salt and never base my purchases on it. I think this is around the time Morgan had just recently came over from The Screen Savers? Leathal Weapon, I do remember those days when they would just talk down a game the WHOLE reveiw then give it a 3, and the next day talk like the game was the best thing since sliced bread and then give it a 3.

I was watching this when it was Gamespot TV on ZDTV years ago, when they had some other co-host with Adam and then they had Kate Botello for Extended Play, then Adam was solo, then they got Morgan Webb for X-Play.
Adam has been around since day 1 of ZDTV, I think hes the only original member left.
He is actually not dumb at all. Go to youtube and look up Jack Thompson on Attack of the Show and watch the war that ensues. Adam makes Jack look like a dang preschooler.
They used to also do games out of 10, and also use a wide range, like a game would get a 7.3 out of 10 or something like that. The only game that ever pulled the 10 as far as I can remember was Chrono Cross. Zelda Ocarina of Time got a 9.8, and so did Metal Gear Solid. Strangely enough, NFL 2K on the dreamcast beat them both with a 9.9, I never did get that. I mean, the 2K football games rocked, but over the best Zelda and Metal Gear? Not a chance.

You mean...oh man I forgot the wimps name but the italian is Tommy Tallarico if im thinking of the same show you are. I didnt like Tommy at first because he always seemed to bash anything that seemed unique, but he did make some good points, not to mention fuel my campaign for a (then current gen but now...)next gen Road Rash.

Yeah, Judgment Day. They just reviewed stuff and didn't have all the lame comedy bits.

I like X-Play. However, it is annoying how often they repeat the shows. Also, its fun to hear them say good things about the preview of a game and then bash it when they review it (Killzone: Liberation)

I blame G4 for screwing with the times X-Play is on than X-Play itself. Morgan and Adam are usually right on with thier reviews or at least have reasons for giving games the scores they do. But man, is that show repeated a thousand times for every new show or what?

I still like x-play, but I liked it better when they were still in the bay. I miss that call in show with the three host and judgment day.

That call in show would be G4TV.com. I kinda miss that, too.
