X-Play (previously GameSpot TV and Extended Play) is a TV program about video games, known for its reviews and comedy skits. The program airs on G4 in the United States, G4techTV in Canada, FUEL TV in Australia, Ego in Israel, GXT in Italy, MTV Россия in Russia and Maxxx in the Philippines. The show is hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, with Blair Herter and Kristin Adams serving as special correspondents/co-hosts. Sessler is the original host of the program; he has co-hosted in the past with Lauren Fielder and Kate Botello.

The show assumed the previously rejected Extended Play moniker in 2001 after ZDTV changed to TechTV and the partnership with Ziff
