Cast & Crew of X-Play Say Goodbye With Final Episode


Posted on December 12, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The cast and crew of G4’s long running X-Play have said their final goodbyes to the show according to Blaire Herter’s twitter feed. He wrote the following alongside an image of the cast & crew assembled on stage:

“No better way to wrap X-Play than by surrounding myself with the most extraordinary folks I’ve ever worked with.”

X-Play, formally Extended Play, launched in the late 90s and has survived a staggering three console generations and an entire branding. Former X-Play EIC Adam Sessler left the show this past April to pursue other interests and since then G4 Media have announced that the channel’s game content will be coming to an end this week with the re-launch of the channel in early 2013 as an extension of the Esquire brand.

G4 and Adam Sessler Part Ways


Posted on April 26, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Longtime host of X-Play and Editor and Chief at G4 Media, Adam Sessler, has parted ways with the company according to his spokesperson. Sessler is arguably one of the most recognizable names and faces in the industry.

Over his 14 year career with G4 he has hosted two different incarnations of X-Play (originally titled Extended Play until sometime in the 2000s) and pioneered a popular VLog series called Sessler’s Soapbox where he provides his raw unscripted opinion on the news of the day.

2012 has been a year of change for the gaming journalism landscape. The formation of Verge brought together names like former Kotaku EIC Brian Crecent and Joshua Topolsky from Gizmodo. Sessler’s departure from G4 Media is yet another name to add to the long list of industry shuffles.
