X-Play is an American video game news show on G4. The show began as a video game review show on TechTV
GameSpot TV
X-Play originated in 1998 on ZDTV as GameSpot TV. The show was originally hosted by Adam Sessler and Lauren Fielder until 1999 when she was replaced with Kate Botello. The show was filmed on a simple ZDTV studio set consisting of fake-brick walls, randomly positioned TV monitors, and functioning arcade game cabinets.For the occasional special episode, filming would move off-site to another location, such as the Sony Metreon arcade, and numerous game conventions such as E3.
Each episode would start off with Game News, where Sessler or Fielder would give a brief overview of top news stories featured on the GameSpot website. Game reviews were run in a segment known as The Grill (games were graded on GameSpot's official 0.1-10.0 system), Spotlight showcased special content such as interviews with industry leaders, and Game Breakers featured strategy guides and hints for recently released games. New episodes would debut on weekend mornings at 10:00 a.m. EST.
