Judgment has been passed on this show, and I judge it as being sensational.

Judgment Day.

I'm not sure why this show was kicked off of G4, for it was much better than that X-play crap(which is still on). The days "Extended-Play were perhaps equal or better, but those days are over, as Tommy and Victor are the new kings of video game reviewing.

This shows pulls off what X-play failed at, and actually reviews the games while entertaining you.

On the positive side:

- Both host are in the video game industry, and they do what is promised. They review the game, discuss the games flaws(all technical issues, and what could have been better), and they add more of their own opinion

- Unlike most shows of this genre, the Host are not Robots. They run their own show. They make their own dialogue. They are believable. And they both have their own views on gaming(one is usually positive, and one is usually negative which makes them interesting and entertaining)

-The Banter between the two judges is always entertaining.

- The range of themes in this show is well done. They review games(new/old), compare games, and even compare hardware. They always have a unique way of doing it(being in a sewer to review ninja turtles, and to end up saying the game stinks and the sewer stinks. Ha! Classic) (The unique way of having super models display the hardware is also well done).

-Every once in a while, they have specialty episodes(Episode 100. E 3 coverage. Comic conventions, etc...)

On the negative side:

-While entertaining, the reviews are sometimes overly biased(GTA VC rocks because they say the F word?) (This game rocks because it features tron?) (They often resort to platitudes such as "This game is not for everyone)

But the negative to this show is very very minute. I'd give this a 9.5/10, but since IMDb doesn't allow that, this show gets a 10/10.
