Morgan Webb just casually dropping replacement theory on live cable television to segue into making fun of a GameCube game.

G4 employed Tommy Tallarico to fail to review games and promote his own upcoming releases so, no, the network was never smart.

Be fair, the one thing you can give Tommy is that he wasn't shy about disclosing which ones he'd worked on

I may have to give Gundam Evo a try again. I originally played it when it first released and bounced off it quickly. The game just didn't feel good at all to play at the time.

I don't remember which ones, but he omitted his involvement on a few iirc. The guy's lied about a lot of stuff over the years.

World of Assassination has a story?

You are John Hitman. You hit men for a living, until oh no! You've been hitting the wrong men and it was in a weird shadow war with the Illuminati. Now John Hitman teams up with John Hitman's Brother, Jeff Hitman, to kill the Illuminati. You do that and then your handler takes it over and blows it up, saving the world from the 1%, I think.

Also John Hitman blew up his handler's parents when she was a kid, oops.

Love that 47's deadpan puns are always fine for the surface level conversation for the victims... except for when he disguises himself as a job applicant at a bank, straight up tells the interviewers during the personality test that his interpretation of the pictures are of murder for hire.... and they're like,"Well poo poo, you're gonna fit right in on the Investment Floor!" and give him the run of the bank :allears:

If you instead answer like a normal human being they send you to the IT mines in the basement

i think it's easy to forget that xplay was originally a part of SpikeTV, the station explicitly For Men, as opposed to all the other non-for men stations out there, so there was probably pressure from the top to make the humor more appealing to whatever halo dudebro marketing research said was their primary audience

oh man i double checked and i was wrong, i somehow had a false memory of G4 and spike being one and the same, possibly because xplay and most extreme elimination challenge occupied roughly the same afternoon timeslot

there was this really bad xplay knockoff which briefly aired alongside it after the G4/Techtv merger but it did give Tron 2.0 five stars and that game pwns

Yeah its this, but also that's just how "hardcore" gamer culture was like back then, unfortunately. You still see shadows of this attitude in "high octane action" AAA releases.
