Spooie, this is my favorite episode of X-Play.
Every review in this episode is entertaining as hell (esp. the hilarious American Idol review).
Thank you, spooie.

Like I said before, they still kept the ZDTV decor despite the name change in 2000. Notice the red cube in the plaque behind Adam's head during the American Idol review, for example.

Damn Morgan looking 🔥 in that cardigan

[@jevon39]

Thank you

[@VahanNisanian]

So essentially, the American Idol review is Morgan as Paula, Adam as Simon, and Chris the Intern as Randy.

Regarding the Culdcept review; this was back when people thought every 16-bit game in the 2000's were outdated (Disgaea get off lucky). Nowadays, we sometimes get these kinds of games more often and they tend to be more liked.

2:28 Adam says the jaguar "uses another weapon common to the big cat family: a particle beam"
but this was pre Laser Cats!
Coincidence? i think not...

[@wasteland6961]

Yay X-play! This has become my favorite notification next to Seth Meyers.

[@wtfsamusidk7574]

Love spooie

[@eddiehatesyou]

22:04 Oh right this is around the American Chopper boom
Also this episode can just be called
"The Medicore, The Bad and The Worse..."
Also American Idol will have a Karaoke Revolution installment that X Play gives a 4 and I think Spooie has it somewhere in the channel.

The robot fighting game looked like fun. Probably better for a console release.

[@JonCom3dy]

What was that clip in the beginning lol

[@floydjohnson7888]

I think that was Laura Swisher doing a promo for "Unscrewed", where she co-hosted with Martin Sargent.

[@jamesmoss3424]

Culdcept for the ps2 is a good game. 😀👍🎮

[@BladeBlur]

I hate to be that guy but technically the Greatest Hits version of Silent Hill 2 IS the better version because it has Restless Dreams on it. And without all the quirks of the Xbox version.

[@damightybenstein]

5:55 who tf is George "Takai"?

[@Squirrel9777]

They're 2 uploads of this video with the same exact name.

[@tec5x5]

Oh gogs One Must Fall, horrid designs horrid game

[@jamesmoss3424]

Star trek: shattered universe for the xbox is a very very bad star trek game.
