  • Watch Adam Sessler’s Fox News Interview On Video Game Violence

    SesslerRev3Games_Full

    Oh Adam Sessler, how I love thee. Let me count the ways.

    Sessler, the former X-Play host and current editor-in-chief of Rev3Games, took to Fox News to take on the growing concern over video game violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy this past December. Sessler provided his poignant and very grounded opinion about the history of censorship in new media.

    I personally love it when other media invites Sessler onto their shows to discuss video games. Whether it be violence or any other hot topic of the day, Sessler is one of the gaming industries most intelligent and well informed personalities and always brings his A game. I begin to wonder if some of these news sources don’t expect him to be as concise and knowledgeable as he is. Sucks to be them.

  • Adam Sessler Joins Revision3

    Guess Who’s Back? Back Again.

    Has it really only been seven months since Adam Sessler left G4? I guess when you get used to seeing someone so often time moves slower.

    Fear not video game fans “The Sess” is back. It was announced today that the former G4/Tech TV editor-in-chief and host of X-Play will be making his return with Revision3. He will be the new editor-in-chief and executive producer of game content for the website.

    Sessler left G4 back in April which now looks like a genius move with G4 now basically being a defunct network come January.

    In a blog post this morning Sessler in part had this to say:

    “While we may not know exactly what may come as of yet. I can assure you that it will be honest, it will continue my interest in raising the discourse of videogames beyond the false contests of reviews and the fetishization of minutiae, and it will involve you, the community, because you are playing the games along with us.”

    Take a look at the first video Adam has posted today about his new position and be sure to go to Revision3.com/games to help support his new venture.

    Welcome back Adam.

  • Get Ready To Say So Long To G4.

    Looks like Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira were the smart rats and jumped off a sinking ship early.

    Rumors abound that G4, which has been on since 2002, will be “re-branded” early next year and morph into a GQ-style men’s channel and that may include a name change. This may come as a shock to some people but it really shouldn’t when you think about the channel only produced two real video game/tech based shows (Attack of the Show and X-Play). Now whether these show will survive the changeover is not clear. If one was to make it I would guess it would be Attack of the Show since it is more of a pop culture show than strictly video games like X-Play.

    No word has been given on if the channel would still give special coverage to shows like E3, PAX or Comic Con.

    But what about my need for Morgan Webb and Ninja Warrior?
