Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Teddie Blake
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Tayyab Torres
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ever since X-Play was on Tech TV, this show used to be funny, fresh, and excellent at reviewing games. Then when this show became part of G4's initial lineup, many of us fans were in heaven with the non-stop gaming shows, and X-Play just continued to get better and better. Suddenly, the X-play we came to love has been stripped of almost anything that fans know it as. Gone now are the skits, the characters (bring back Roger: The Stan Lee Experience!), the humor, and most of the reviews. X-Play is now a dull show that talks about gaming news, ONE game review per show, game previews, and Cheat segments. As for our co-hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, they look like they couldn't care less anymore. I don't blame them because this isn't the way X-Play is supposed to be.It really feels like G4 is trying to hammer the final nail in X-Play's coffin. It's a shame because this is the show that brought and kept viewers interested in the network once they canceled all of their gaming shows. I still give it a positive rating because it's really the only gaming show on TV, and they at least cover the big gaming events.

Video game reviews aside, the witty banter between the hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb makes this show well worth watching. The humor manages to be both intelligent and low-brow at the same time, and often mocks X-Play's own core demographic. The reviews are often interspersed with sketches involving recurring characters (Drunk Link!), totally inappropriate animations and puppetry, or even movie parodies (Saw). It's a welcome relief from the increasing number of G4 shows that are clearly trying to appeal to the baser instincts of lonely 14-year-old boys. These people know what they're doing and they do it well. Give it a try!

While I would not consider myself to be a very enthusiastic gamer, I do enjoy video games. From time to time, in the very rare occasion that I watch television, I watch this show. I like the reviews, but the thing is, the whole show is full of all these lame and unoriginal and stupid jokes. They are really aimed more to be the "hip" kind of stupid and random jokes and usually take no thought at all, but idiots from the culture that I could never identify with would probably enjoy them. I wouldn't even complain as much about the kind of humor the show had if it wasn't basically the whole premise of the show.For instance, from time to time, there are these sketches, one where Adam Sessler pretends to be the main character from the game, "Splinter Cell." In the sketch, he captures people from behind and takes them all into a bathroom cubicle. The problem with this sketch is that, while it's supposed to be silly, is so painfully unoriginal. Any fan of "Splinter Cell" with a sense of humor could think of that and even the writers know it.Skits like that are not even as painful to me as having to hear all these stupid jokes narrated by either Adam Sessler or Morgan Webb (always in the stupidly sarcastic dialect) during the reviews. Being sarcastically insulting is alright once in a while, but they apply this technique in so many reviews that it's usually hard to tell whether they like a game or not. At one point, Adam Sessler reviewed the latest "Dynasty Warriors" game and seemingly insulted it so much that I was sure it was going to get a 1/5, but actually got a 3/5. It is obviously just very hard to tell whether they're serious or not when reviewing a game, what with them being so sarcastically insulting, so I'd just like the writers of the show to drop that crap already.Occasionally, they will also make childish jokes about a character in a game, like a character called Cao Pi in a game they were reviewing... Which is pronounced like "cow pee." Yes, at first, it probably sounds at the least remotely funny, but it was milked so much in the review that I couldn't stand it. At one point, they kept playing the audio for when the voice actor for the character said "I am Cao Pi," and Adam Sessler even milked it more by saying, "Yeah, we KNOW." And even after the review was over, Morgan Webb and Adam Sessler kept talking about it. They'll never let a stupid childish joke die, apparently.Another annoying thing is when they use the Animutation-like technique of moving the mouth of a person (usually celebrity) or animal and make them say obnoxious and annoying crap that only idiots such as the writers would find funny. Usually they consist of the Beatles talking to each other. Once again, part of the stupid random humor, the bad kind where no thought is included for the jokes.Here's what I think -- The show needs to really tone down on humor, especially the blatantly stupid kind, tone down on the sarcastic insulting, and especially tone down on the skits. Then it will probably be a watchable show, with more reviews than anything. I mean, come on -- I doubt even the hosts like to say the stuff that they are made to say.

This show is alright. Adam's kind of annoying at times, but Morgan's great eye candy (but little more than that).However I feel that at the end of the show they should review their video games rankings (similar to that of Ebert and Roper), especially since their key audience is obviously those with short attention spans.
