About Judgement Day
Judgement Day was a no punches pulled opinion based gaming review show. Each episode several games are reviewed and given an overall score out of ten by each of the two hosts. JD also features hardware reviews, classic gaming segments and game vs game faceoffs. Rather than being produced in a studio, each episode is shot on-location at random (usually outdoor) locations throughout North America. |
Status
Judgement Day is cancelled and no longer in production. Reviews on the Run continues to air elsewhere.
Hosts
 | Tommy Tallarico Not only does he host JD and EP, Tallarico also an accomplished composer and has done several soundtracks for video games (Earthworm Jim ring a bell?). He also founded Tommy Tallarico Studios Inc., which is the industry's largest multimedia post-production audio house and produced the quasi-popular touring video game concert series, "Video Games Live." |
 | Victor Lucas He's the host of EP, he's also the creator! Victor created Greedy Productions which is the company behind his shows, JD and The Electric Playground. Lucas is typically the more down to earth of the duo and tends to cut more slack on the reviews than Tallarico. |
History
Judgement Day was G4's only original series that was not produced in-house at launch and is produced by Victor Lucas' Greedy Productions. Judgment Day had over 200 hundred episodes under it's belt and even though the TechTV merger brought another review show, X-Play, JD continued. JD's reviews are much more opinion based than that of X-Play and often times the hosts have different views on particular games and arguements ensue. At the end of 2005, Lucas and Tallarico decided not to renew their contract with G4, despite JD's high ratings and planed to bring Reviews on the Run to the US, but recently signed a contract to exclusively air the show on G4TechTV Canada.
