The X-Play Daily Video Podcast takes the reviews from the show on G4 and makes them avalable in 3-4 minute episodes. The show reviews video games while occasionally throwing in a skit or two.
Content:
-The reviews themselves are well-informed despite the shallow appearance of the show.
-Though said reviews do tend to be exaggerated when they're about hyped-up monsters like God of War, they're very accurate and reliable for other games.
-Unfortunately, they shoehorn a shitload of "comedy" into these reviews. Most of the time, the jokes are juvenile and fall flat on their faces.
-There are a few exceptions to this. The most notable ones are the Splinter Cell Co-Op Theater episodes, which are hillarious.
Hosts:
-Both of the hosts are seasoned gamers and they know what they're talking about, but they're not comedians.
-While not annoying, they aren't TOO special. At least they didn't get some sweaty, middle-aged man who mumbles like crazy.
-If they'd drop those god damn lame political/pop culture jokes and focused on reviewing, they'd easily become much better.
Sound Quality:
-TV Grade. Need I say more?
-For those of you with shitty TVs, I'm saying it's as good as it gets.
Overall:
3/5 - It has its uses, but it won't be winning any awards.
