I, for one, have been holding out hoping that G4 would someday pick up the torch of generating game coverage similar to the way that GameTrailers has with their retrospectives.
It looks like they might now be headed down the right path. X-Play will be expanding its coverage of videogames to include more than just review video segments.
Although there are no direct promises of game features, the press release does say that there will be more analysis and interviews. I can only hope that these segments lead into more gamer-focused features that we can all enjoy. I have really enjoyed what GameTrailers is doing with their retrospective segments–similar to what G4’s Icons used to be–so it would be great to have something like a smaller version of that on the air as a part of the X-Play program.
The new daily program should premiere on January 14. Check your times.

I am actually a fan of the show ‘Life’ on NBC. It follows the cases of a detective who is vindicated for the killing of his business partner after serving 10 years in prison with new evidence. He now has his old job as a police detective back along with a hefty settlement to live off of and comes closer each week to solving the mystery of who really killed his business partner.
The series has been pretty cool, then they go and do something like having a missing teenager hide his secret financial documents in level 10 of Prince of Persia. The worst part of it all, besides their horribly bad game terminology, is that they have the little sister of the gamer reveal her skills by showing her hands going all muscle memory while watching a cop play the game. Who does that? I sighed as I watched it.
