It used to a pretty good show when it was called extended play and just had adam sessler, they were just focused on the games and nothing else. Then after Morgan Webb came in and it became Xplay it became terrible. They try to hard with their bad jokes, their scores are widely inflated, or their just plain rude to certain games due to their genre. Now the show's only purpose now is to appeal to the bro gamer.

Discuss?

I don't hate the show but I do dislike it. Adam Sessler is ok though.

it went downhill around 06/07....it use to be funny and sarcastic to me now they act super serious and drousy during reviews...even sessler acts a lil more dry... idk if they were told to be more "serious" because the popularity was rising..but they lost there touch...it's still ok

Reviews on the Run is the most awful show I have ever seen, however I only saw it when tommy tallrico was there, it might have grown better since.

I like the show as it covers allot of gaming news, and I agree with their reviews 90% of the time.

Some of their segments can get annoying, but they are short.

I really love how they cover the major game events (especially E3)

What do you consider your younger days out of curiosity? The only bimbo in that video is Tyra Banks.

I nearly adored the show (and numerous others on TechTV) when I was younger, especially when Ratty the Puppet was in. If I spend to long talking about how much of a disappointment TechTV into the SpikeTV wannabe G4 became, I get sad...

This sucks... I just check to see what was on G4, and it turns out Direct TV no longer carries the G4 channel. I didnt really watch it, but WTH :evil: Use to like the channel a lot more back in the day, when we had both TechTV and G4 TV.... back then they actually had good shows.

maybe when I was 15-16

Morgan is just as bad, with her stupid assumption of gamers, if you watch the whole video you will understand. At least Tyra has no clue about videogames at all, Morgan has been working in the industry for how long? proving the only reason she is still employed there is due to the size of her:idea::idea:

They have good coverage.

Also on a related note, does anyone know if Morgan actually plays games, or is she just the token hot chick? I keep going from one to the other.

Fair enough, I'm 21. She is a very pretty woman though, no doubt about that. I did watch the entire video. I kinda enjoyed what she had to say about those 3 types of gamers. Interesting way of looking at it if you ask me.

Probably, I lost respect for Munn when she just up and left.

Fair enough, Olivia Munn is gorgeous though, although she just cut her hair. Much bigger fan of the longer hair.

I haven't seen that show in years - though I have always like Adam when he is away from the script of the show

One of his recent soapbox's was pretty cool --http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/711199/crysis-2-linear-and-loving-it-sesslers-soapbox/

The feedback is much better and goes in more detail with each game. There is also usually 5 people on it too so you hear various opinions on each game and game news.

I'll reserve judgement on which Crysis is better until after I play #2, but I did agree with him. Especially about The Witcher and how its set up and presented the ability to free-roam and the given choice while not giving you either...its something I hadn't noticed until Adam mentioned it.

Something else from X-Play that I did agree with here, their closing remarks for Killzone 3

Provided you're not a stickler for narrative continuity, everything about Killzone 3's presentation rocks. If an abrupt and unexplained change in story direction is likely to strike a nerve, no amount of stylish cinematics and memorable scenes will take your mind off some of the game's glaring plot holes. Seriously, two main characters receive horrible knife wounds that go completely unaddressed after the fact – nobody thought to acknowledge this?

Oddities like this don't take anything away from Killzone 3 as a whole. Killzone 2 tested the waters of what the console was technically capable of. It planted the seed for what the franchise aspired to be, and it paved the way for Killzone 3 to become one of the PlayStation 3's most valuable exclusives.

I used to watch it a lot for Adam Sessler. Hes cool because you can tell he really loves gaming and its a passion for him. Everyone else it just feels fake, like Morgan Webb for instance I always get this "Hey im a girl and i can kick your butt in Call of Duty YEAH HARDCORE" like shes special because she likes games, I hate people like that.

I hate the show now. I too used to find Morgan Webb attractive, but after I found out about her COMPLETE stupidity, I find her (and the rest of G4 for that matter) as dumb as Chris Bores, aka "Irate Gamer".
