"With respect to entertainment, videogames have emerged as the leading influencer among today's generation of young men�and E3 feeds their obsession" said Neal Tiles, President, G4. "With an unprecedented 17 hours of coverage from this year's E3, we are delivering on the network's promise to be the only TV destination that fuels today's plugged-in generation's addiction for the latest in must-have videogames, tech, gadgets and viral web culture."

There's really no other TV destination that comes close to G4's unparalleled live hands-on demo line up � nearly 40 in all � including Fallout 3, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2, Ghostbusters: The Videogame, and Halo Wars.

"It's a testament to the quality of the games this year that, if you care about it, you'll be seeing it played on our stage."
