Hello G4 savvy KZbin user, I noticed you posted about G4. What a terrible/great network that was. It's coming back! Later this year in 2021! What a terrible/great idea, right? Anyway, this video is boomer OLD. If you want new stuff, check out our official KZbin channel for fresh G4 content!

But you know what was missing? The G4 network making fun of all of them! We fixed that, because G4 is relaunching later this year!

Just stumbled upon these X-Play captures. Thank you uploader. While we can't go back in time to the days of our youth, it is nice to see those times preserved. 2003 was such a good year for games. I also didn't realize a lot of what I still play today over and over was made in 2003, lol. Still playing Prince of Persia and Knights of the Old Republic, Windwaker, etc. X-Play ruled then and still rules now. Thanks Adam and Morgan! Hopefully the X-Play revival brings you much joy and success. Now to stream some more old episodes!

[@giantqtipz6577]

@@TipppedScales1015 i agree. I personally think its just hard to be original these days.. so companies have no choice but to just come up with games with features that exist in other games, but customized for their game. for me, i was always excited seeing new game trailers in the 90s and 2000s because there is always something new. Im playing horizon zero dawn right now and its a great game. I tried Rise of the Tomb Raider and quit after 30 mins because it kind of feels like horizon zero dawn (the mechanics) just my thoughts :)
