LOS ANGELES, CA – January 11, 2010 – G4’s “X-Play” owns the topic of video games and is the most celebrated gaming show on television. On February 1, television’s longest running video game series celebrates a milestone – its 1000th episode. Hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, the show’s 1000th episode will pack extra punch with a retrospective of the series’ greatest moments, as well as all-new material, including interviews with celebrity guests and surprise sketches. The 1000th episode will also mark the launch of “X-Play” in high definition (where G4 HD is available). The six hour celebration begins with a “Best of X-Play” marathon on February 1 at 1PM ET/PT, leading into a special one-hour “X-Play 1000th” special at 6PM ET/PT, only on G4.

“X-Play” premiered in 2003 as the first video game series on television, quickly becoming the go-to destination for young guys seeking the latest video game news, brutally honest reviews, hands-on demos and exclusive video game trailers and footage. The series has helped usher in a decade of major game franchises and the development of new consoles and gaming platforms. As the video game industry has grown to over $20 billion dollars per year, with game releases often trumping many of today’s biggest box office hits, “X-Play” is there to cover it all. Surpassing the 1,000 episode mark places the show in a category no other gaming show has even come close to.
