This video game show is good, but Adam Sessler's original video game show, Extended Play was better. This show gives less information, though has better special effects. Extended play was more streamilnes then this, and had more information per episode.

I started watching X-Play way back when it was still Extended Play. I've watched it pretty frequently since then and it's still a reliable video game show. Adam and Morgan are natural hosts and it's obvious they're passionate about gaming. Even Adam, with his stuttering and his bad jokes, has a certain charm.

The only downside is that recently, they've done away with the corny sketches. That may sound like a good thing, but they were a part of the show's personality. As cheesy and cheap as they were, they did showcase a good sense of humor, generating jokes and references that only seasoned gamers could get.

X-Play on TechTV is the newly 'updated' gaming show; previously named Extended Play. They review and preview games, show classic games and also display the 'Kill of the Week'. Once in awhile you'll see some guests, but in reality it's just a video game preview/review show with some real corny, yet sometimes funny comedy. It's enjoyable and since it's the only of it's kind (besides on the all gaming network G4, which not many get) it does a good job at what it does.

After watching the show for about 2 years now, I've moved on past the shoddy reviews, the crappy 5 point review scale ( Which doesn't offer half points, just a scale of 1-5 ) and the fact that so many games get 3/5 without a bit of explanation and realized that hey... At least it's pretty funny, and at least we have a show on TV " reviewing " video games.

Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb do a great job on the show, but sometimes their " Witty " comments during reviews drive me insane. I want to know MORE about the game they're reviewing rather than if they're going to be able to come up with some stagnant joke at the games expense.

I'd love to see a 10 point review scale, or at least half points to make up for the lackluster scale they review games on and ACTUALLY review the games they display ( Sometimes they actually do provide a review, but it seems that it doesn't happen very often ).

X-Play could be ingenious, but it just falls a tad bit short due to the creators need to feel that they're obligated to entertain more than educate us about WHY the games are getting the scores they do.

I do watch it quite often and find the show to be very entertaining despite the few faults the show has. The same goes for most video game fans.

This is a great show for any gamers. A lot of you may think that only game reviews on the whole show is boring, but if you really start to watch it, you'll find that they have skits, sometimes they even have a series, like "Beergoggles." And they really do tell you how good the game is, in a "Brutally Honest" way, as the promo says. So really, if you want to know what games to get, while getting a laugh out of it, watch X-Play!!!! I swear you'll like it....and if you don't, you aren't a gamer. Only gamers would watch this show. And if you're a gamer, you'll watch it. In conclusion, if you have G4techTV and you're a gamer, WATCH THIS SHOW!
