    I expect it to suck like 90% of everything from that channel.

    I have lost interest in the channel over the past year and X-Play was my only reason to care. Nowadays I don't even watch that. The channel is a lost cause. They're not about videogames anymore.

    X-play is technically a Tech TV show so it's all good! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

    I won't ruin the score.
    X-Play is a TV show on channel G4. Game reviews, previews, news, and random tibits like comedy sketches. With the reviews, they are extremely brutal and it's rare for games to recieve the full 5 out of 5.

    You have to be more paitent. Wait till the ad has finished.

    Well, anyways...

    It will be interesting to see how (or even if) they will rate the PS3 version of DR. I can already tell you it won't get a 5. With that in mind... As long as I have been watching X-Play, (while it was still on TechTV. I was there for the original Golden Mullet Award) I cannot tell if DR will get a 3 or 4. This is one of the few instances where a 5-star scale hurts. DR is too good to recieve a 3, but this downloadable PS3 version is too empty to get a 4.

    I think the price will be the deciding factor. If this was a full $60 game, it would easily get a 3. But I think the fact it is only $20 will give it a 4.

    Either way, they better compare it to VF5 and point out everywhere that VF5 pwns it. Which is like everywhere.

    Hmm, before I was just seeing the ad on the bottom of the screen, not the video portion.

    "...VF5 has arrived with dazzling next-gen visuals and lots of grunting."

    Adam Sessler: "...dynamic 'luchador' El Blaze"
    El Blaze: "I'll be invincible beyond all imagination! *drop kicks camera*

    "The poor sumo, Taka Arashi, still black-balled from the proceedings."

    "I give you the legend of the Color-Blind Ninja!"

    El Blaze: "What is that I lack?"
    Adam: "Online play."

    VF5 commentator: "It's a mid-air combo."
    Adam: "Just a note guys, next time have the commentary done by people who speak English... as their first language."
    VF5 commentator: "Akira! Win's going away."
    Adam: "THAT doesn't MEAN anything! All the speech in the game is pretty amusing, really. Win pose and intro taunts are a source of endless amusement."

    LMAO!

    "VF5... regains it's title as king of the genre."

    Yay yay!

    Someone just tell us the score allready. I would expect a 4. Unfortunately it did leave out a lot ov evo goodies after all, and all the other games in the series.

    Yay...too bad I absolutely hate xplay. Well, not the show so much, just the hosts, the horrible horrible hosts.

    Personally I love Adam and Morgan together. I liked them from back when it was actually a GOOD channel called TechTV. Sigh, I miss those days... Xplay... Screensavers... sigh...
