I found this

I was doing a research on Xplay, G4 Media, and TechTV. Now what I have found out is that G4 Media is just a network own by Comcast & EchoStar. But, Xplay the show itself is owned by TechTV. Now eversince in May of 2004 TechTv merged with G4 Media, alot of their shows were droped, CUZ IT SUCKED MAJOR ASS, except for a couple includeing Xplay. Now tis the surprise. TechTV is owned by Ziff-Davis (ZDmedia), G4 Media (Comcast) and VULCAN VENTURES, which is an INVESTMENT company OWNED BY PAUL ALLEN (co-founder of Microsoft) to handle HIS INVESTMENTS. Wiki it YOURSELVES.

I find them dependable. I agree the 360 has the most versitile library. I also agree with them that the ps3 has awesome games and the wii has shovel ware.

You mean that Kevin doesn't frequent neogaf, and doesn't judge a game based solely on what a developer of said game said about a forum called neogaf? Oh no! He is not biased like reviewers who would rate the game low just so they can "stand and be counted" and then laugh at how wrong dyack was about the game getting decent scores.

How dare he be unbiased and not judge a game based on things said about a partiular forum.

Maybe it's because allot of their shows involve feedback from gamers, and that is what the gamers prefer.

You know that makes perfect sense. Actually I just had a thought myself. The reason why Sony gave MS the one year head start was because Sony puts Windows on their computers. There eneeded to be some kind of deal so Sony computers wouldn't eventually be infected with Linux and all those computer noobies wouldn't have to figure out what the heck was wrong with their computers when all they had to do was set permissions. So instead of that absolutely horrible turn of events happening Sony made a deal with MS to release their console first.

No, but most of their audience seem to favor the 360, so they side with it more. Regardless it is just a theory, they could be completely unbiased.

G4 has pretty much sucked since the end of the summer in 2006. X-Play has always been an alright show to me, but I liked it way way back when, when it was a lot better. That guy's review of Too Human was terrible, not saying that I agree/disagree with the score, just saying that he really didn't touch a lot on the good and bad points.

Crisis Core is garbage, it deserved that score.

You have failed on an amount that you couldn't imagine failing at. TechTV was infinitely better than G4 ever was and ever will be.

xplay sucks since they moved away for techtv... i used to get a good laugh watching that show now they're all about crappy interviews and lame jokes you read in library joke books
