Sessler gets an Upgrade


G4 announced the promotion of Adam Sessler to “Editor-in-Chief” of G4 Games Content today. I’m not sure exactly how this will effect G4, but Sessler will of course stay on as co-host of X-Play.
The press release reads:

Los Angeles, CA. December 17, 2008 – “X-Play” host and one of the most respected names in videogame journalism, Adam Sessler, has been promoted to Editor-in-Chief, G4 Games Content. In his new role, Sessler will oversee editorial content for “X-Play,” the most watched videogame show on television, as well as all gaming content for the network. Sessler will continue to serve as host of “X-Play,” along with Morgan Webb. The announcement was made today by Neal Tiles, President, G4.
On “X-Play,” Sessler brings fans the latest news and information on the constantly evolving world of gaming, including live demos of the titles gamers are most excited to see, exclusive interviews with the biggest names in videogames, sneak peeks at games still in development and behind-the-scenes profiles with gaming’s biggest developers. Sessler leads daily comprehensive coverage for the network, as well as news gathering from key industry events such as CES, E3 and Tokyo Game Show.
Sessler has been front and center on the most watched videogame shows on television for over 10 years including nearly 1,000 episodes as the host of “X-Play.” Prior to “X-Play,” Sessler hosted “Extended Play” and “Gamespot TV” for TechTV and ZDTV respectively. Throughout his career he has conducted interviews with the industry’s top luminaries, secured an unprecedented number of exclusives and broken numerous news stories on “X-Play.”
“Adam is an incredible resource and has helped position G4 and “X-Play” as the center of the gaming universe,” said Neal Tiles, President G4 TV. “We are lucky to have an industry expert with his experience, wisdom and passion, as well as his strong relationships throughout the gaming community, leading our team.”

Perhaps this will mean MORE “G4 Games Content” in the future? I can hope right?
