G4 Videogame TV - The Gamer's Channel

Did you know there’s a television station that’s dedicated solely to videogames? It’s one of my personal favorites that I watch all the time, and it’s called G4 Videogame TV. I’ve been watching G4 since I discovered it about two years ago, and it’s where I get a lot of good tidbits. Everyday, 24-7, it plays original shows that are related to all things videogames.

G4’s shows feature breaking industry news, reviews, the hottest games, gear and technology celebrity interviews, insider opinions, insider opinions and the underground trends that you may not hear about in the mainstream media. Although the primary audience of G4 Videogame TV is males, 12-34 years old, I think anyone should watch this channel, male or female, as long as you have an interest in games or consumer technology. There are a lot of cool things to see and learn about . . . a recent show I saw had the hosts demonstrating how to capture the images of the backs of cards (or any object) using the shadows around the object and lasers. Who would have thought that was possible?

G4 offers quite a programming line-up. Here are some of my recommended picks:

Attack of the Show: This airs every weekday and it keeps up with everything that’s here today, “lame tomorrow.” It features everything from music to gadgets to special guests to downloads. This is the Click Chick’s favorite show on G4!

X-Play: Hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, this show gives viewers tips, tricks and previews for the latest games. This show is very entertaining to watch with their brutally honest comedic opinions.

Cheat!: This show provides the ultimate strategies, tips and codes for all the biggest games out there. It’s good if you want to speed-play your games to get through it so you can get to your next game on your list.

Anime Unleashed: Good for anime fanatics, this shows the best in Japanese animation – the greatest action adventure series, the top sci-fi fantasies and the cleverest comedies.

Street Fury: I know there’s a lot of car buffs out there, and this show is for you. This shows the world of import car racing and car modification. Host Carlton “Big C” Lewis travels the country to car shows such as SEMA, NISEI and Hot Import Nights while hanging with the best racing champs around.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg for what G4 has to offer, but I urge you to check it out. You can watch G4 on Oceanic’s Digital Cable, channel 437 (listed as G4TTV). For a complete programming listing and more information on G4 Videogame TV, go to www.g4tv.com.
