Indeed the video is far from exhaustive, going from the blips of Pong (1972) to those of Portal (2007) without much in between: just a few other arcade legends and shooters. All sounds like a bunch of noise to me, but it's still a lot of fun! More »

I'd rather not see anything anymore. That Sessler is a far braver man than I. More »

In the latest edition of Sessler's Soupbox Soapbox, Adam addresses a problem that I've been noticing more and more myself lately, PC recommended specs that still won't allow you to max out your settings. Required specs are supposed to where you need to play the game with the bells and whistles turned off. Recommended specs should reflect the system you need to run the game at a silky smooth frame rate. Do we need to start adding in a third set of specifications like optimal specs? Perhaps they can just list the system they were playing the game on when they started making trailers that look nothing like what I wind up playing on my PC? More »

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Okay, I was at Walmart buying cat litter, but I did brush precariously close to some seats in the office furniture section. So what did I miss? Nintendo getting shut out of every award except best racing game for Mario Kart Wii for one...an award it really didn't deserve. Rock Band and Grand Theft Auto IV each came away with three awards, with Metal Gear Solid 4 and Call of Duty 4 taking home two each. For those keeping track, that's seven awards to games that were number four in their respective series. It was a year of damn fine sequels, wasn't it? Turok walked away with the coveted Uwe Boll Film Award, which seems far more fitting than Skate winning Best Sports Game. More »

"I couldn't be more excited about the direction 'X-Play' is taking," said Adam Sessler, host, "X-Play." "Reviews will still be a big part of the show, but now we're going to make sure that viewers are also updated regularly on everything else going on in the world of video games."
We kinda had that covered Adam, but thanks for the assist! Hit the jump for more info, including the new "X-Play Gaming Update Blog", which could save a lot of time by simply linking here. More »

While the Ghostbusters video game teaser trailer is the ultimate in teasing, it still gives you a pretty good feeling of how faithful things are going to be to the original movie. It feels like it was crafter to induce fans to shout along with the rule - which I indeed did as I watched it. For something a bit more substantial, Kotakuite Sim pointed us towards G4TV.com, where they've managed to score some exclusive footage of the game in action. Can you say Slimer? More »

Its new slogan is "We Get Guys." Not sure if they mean "get" as in "understand" or "get" as in "purchase" or "go after." Proving that the network doesn't get much of anything, it recently applied for trademark protection of this phrase. No, really. More »
