Over 3.1 Million viewers have tuned in to catch G4’s coverage of E3, including Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo Press Conferences, on-air and online. G4tv.com alone served 3.4 million videos. “X-Play” will recognize the best titles on each console and decide the winner of the prestigious Best Game of E3 2008 award. “X-Play” Host Adam Sessler and “Attack of the Show” Host Kevin Pereira will announce the 2008 winners in the half-hour special “X-Play Best of E3 Awards” airing TONIGHT, Friday, July 18 at 8 pm ET/PT, only on G4.
“This is one of the most impressive lists of titles since we’ve established our awards show and even compiling these shortlists was challenging,” said Adam Sessler, Host and Managing Editor, X-Play. “Every game named here is exceptional and other entertainment media should take note of the creativity on display.”
