    Good, yet corny...

    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.

    Excellent Program, Criticism be Damned.

    Okay, let me get this out of the way now. I've been watching this show since episode one, and by 'this show' I mean X-Play. I've never seen Extended Play, or whatever the show was called before that. Now that I've clarified, let me move into the review.

    I'm not going to go over the show for you. If you want to know what the show is about, read the info page. I'm hear to tell you my personal opinion about X-Play, which would be that this show is quite possibly the greatest video game related program on television, and certainly the best show on G4TV, a network that has gone from decent, to bad, to Cheaters and the Man Show.

    Pros: Throughout the entirety of it's run, X-Play has been reviewing games sharply and thoughtfully. Each game that appears on the show is given a fair chance, but is not forgiven when it has obvious glaring flaws. Some have said in their reviews that this seems to give the show an "anti-video game" vibe, that it makes it seem like Adam and Morgan dislike everything. I ask you this, if this was a review show where everything got at least a three, and the two hosts focused on how wonderful everything about each and every game was, would it be of any use at all? I have repeatedly used the advice given to me by X-Play when buying a game, and I have been saved from certain disaster several times over. Besides providing excellent game reviews, the show also provides entertainment value through the use of (for the most part) clever and well written skits. Adam, Morgan, and all the actors that accompany them, tackle each of their roles and skits with an infectious enthusiasm that makes X-Play a show worth watching.

    Cons: I'm sure most of you keyed in on the "for the most part" in my previous statement. This does hold some ground, as X-Play has been known to recycle some of their own material, or just make the occasional 'un-funny' joke. In addition, Adam and Morgan make no qualms about offending their audience. Trust me, if you're a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist, just try to listen to one of their oversimplifications of the show without getting peeved.

    Overall it's my opinion that those that complain about this show, saying "Oh, Adam changed his personality so much," or "Oh, Morgan is so boring, she obviously doesn't play games," are either A. Elitist pricks that are under the assumption that they are gaming gods, or far more intelligent than they actually are or B. Humorless nerds that long for the old days of TechTV, where shows were meant to exclusively inform, and not to entertain.

    My only answer to both is this: Get over yourself. Those of you that complain about Adam's personality change, are you actually aware of -how much- he has a say in the workings of X-Play? Maybe the show's heading in the precise direction that he wants, and he enjoys having a little more fun with it. Maybe Morgan Webb being a fairly attractive woman doesn't automatically make her ignorant of geek culture.

    When looking at X-Play for a reasonable position, one finds a quality show, now over 4 years in the running, that provides the viewer with some of the quality that G4TV has been desperately lacking for the past few months.

    You Will Love this Show if You're a Gamer.

    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!

    Nice with funny humor

    I love this show. I love it a lot. I'm kept up to date on games, with humor thrown in. I love the profound humor and "gay games " section, which I find funny. Morgan and Adam are amazing hosts with great humor. Production values aren't high, but it's on my favorite channel, G4 Tech. It has reviews, previews, articles, and funny sections. another funny section is the "Shocked by Grad GrimGravy" which Adam dresses up as a crazy scientist and talks weird while reviewing. Or Morgan Von Vebb's Vebb of Destruction. It has great humor and geeks like me will be pleased.So, if you like games, check it out. If you don't, check it out anyway for the humor.

    Good despite its faults.

    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.

    • Trivia
      The format of reviews led many fans to believe that Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb were the only reviewers on the show, This is however incorrect as the show had an entire staff of reviewers, and just because one of the host read the review does not necessarily mean that they were the ones who played it.
    • Goofs
      When the show reviewed Metroid Prime (which is a Gamecube game), they incorrectly showed the Nintendo 64 logo on the screen.
    • Quotes

      Morgan Webb: [talking about the game "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" for the Sega Genesis] It is sort of ironic that he was rescuing small children from predatory men in it.

      Adam Sessler: He's also rescuing them from ninjas!

      Morgan Webb: I would really like to see a ninja molestation trial.

      [slight pause, almost sheepishly]

      Adam Sessler: Bet that would give a whole new meaning to the term "blow dart".

      Morgan Webb: You're weird.

      Adam Sessler: Hah!
