Attack of the Show and X-Play finally say goodbye to TV forever. Not that I was surprised. They most likely weren’t getting enough views after Pereira and Sessler left. I got into G4 and X-Play and Cheat when it was it’s own show back in '03 and it was like heaven for me. I loved how Sessler and Webb broke down every game in their lineup and gave very convincing reviews. Kinda sad for me to see it leave but that’s life…
I’m guessing the shows are getting canned because no one watched them in over 6 years?
RIP Tech Tv.
The few reviews I watched from X-Play seemed terribly misinformed so i wont be sad to see them go.
took them long enough…everyone was jumping ship.
Extended Play > X-Play
Guess they still got dat Cops!
SRK works so well these days. Thank god for the ads!!!
“Server did not respond in time”
Oops I made two threads. Damn computer…
I thought I was the only one…

I never liked AOTS. It was a watered down, retarded version of The Screen Savers. Extended Play was good during the Tech TV days, then it became X-Play, which was more about stupid skits and jokes than about game reviews. The only thing I liked from G4 was the original Cheat and Filter, but those were gone a long time ago. The last time saw G4, they were playing Cops re-runs.
gonna go out on a limb here and say that SRK is currently the biggest advertising offender BY FAR of any site i currently visit on the internet… and i’m on internet news sites all the time
I watched AOTS for a few minutes the other day to see how it was doing without kevin…lets just say this isnt surprising news.
G4TV is going to become GQTV next year anyway…so whatever.
Long overdue, G4 is a joke now. I guess that’s just some extra slots for Cops to soak up.
Adam Sessler leaving X-play took a lot of the credibility out of that show. Unlike the other hosts who were posers just trying to get an acting gig and happened to land there, Sessler was a legit gaming nerd. I loved it when he bashed the WWE wrestling games because most of those aren’t much better than your average anime fighter, and he took heat for it. You know the others wouldn’t have the balls to do that, but he was basically saying what every other real gamer was thinking.
He was also the only original face on the show since the very beginning in friggin’ late 1998! I remember watching the halloween episode when he reviewed Resident Evil 3 for the PSX! haha. Seeing him rolling around in that mock graveyard while pretending to elude zombies and popping up to review the latest PSX titles was amusing. Wish i had that on tape.
Morgan Webb was cute and charming and…thats about it.
AOTS does not have quite the legacy of goodness, and was a bit more on the shallow side, but it was still spiffy at times and an overall decent replacement for the Screen Savers(w/Leo laport). Even though she always came off as an insulting, ego-maniac, Oliva Munn was still the Hottness.
Webb > Munn. Both really hot, but Morgan wins it by not coming off as much of an elitist bitch on-screen.
Neither or these two shows were handled good on G4 so its just as well. As for the G4 channel itself? The whole thing is a sorryass waste of potentiol. They could have had an epic tech/nerd channel like ZDTV and TechTv in the years prior, but were just content to show crap like countless COPS marathons(WTF?!).
lol…its weird it seems like alot of people are slowly going to the scifi channel.
Reviews on the Run still kicking because they are actually funny and worth it.
Jose Sanchez man.
about an hour and thirty more minutes of cops.
The only other thing I watched besides X-play was Ninja Warrior. That show is the shit. Fuck the American one though.
I used to watch X-Play way back when I was still in high school and even back when it was called Extended Play. It was never a great show but as a tv show that was dedicated to reviewing games and giving the heads up upcoming game stuff I was pretty attached to it.
These are my definitely my fav skits from the show.
