As I am sure many of you already know, G4 is cancelling X-Play and AOTS. Both of these shows will be greatly missed by gamers across the world. As I understand the channel is undergoing a rebranding and might even change it's name. One thing people will miss the most is E3 Coverage. I guess we will have to either have to watch on the internet, Spike TV, or some other place. I will miss Comic Con too. But at least the two shows had over a thousand episodes before they ended. Their last episodes are supposed too end at the end of this year.
