More on X-Play
Description from Wikipedia:
X-Play (previously GameSpot TV and Extended Play) is a TV program about video games, known for its reviews and comedy skits. The program airs on G4 in the United States, G4techTV in Canada, FUEL TV in Australia, Ego in Israel, and Maxxx in the Philippines.
The show is hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb. Sessler is the original host of the program; he has co-hosted in the past with Lauren Fielder and Kate Botello.
X-Play began on ZDTV in 1998 as GameSpot TV where Sessler co-hosted with Fielder for the show's first year, then co-hosted with Botello up through 2002. The show was renamed to Extended Play in 2001 after ZDTV changed to TechTV and the partnership with Ziff Davis' GameSpot ended. Botello left in early 2002, and Sessler hosted the show by himself up until April 2003, when Webb joined the cast and the show was renamed X-Play.
After the merger of TechTV and G4 in May 2004, X-Play became the only original program from either network to survive intact, and is now one of the highest-rated shows to air on the channel .
