We figured things would be different with the planned makeover of G4, but we never thought they'd go full stupid. You never go full stupid, but apparently G4 didn't get the memo.
According to a report by TV Guide, G4 plans to axe both of the shows from their lineup.
Both shows will take the next two months to wind down with a series of farewell episodes, inviting back favorite guests and former hosts, as well as airing audience favorite segments, such as Attack of the Show's 2007 iPhone coverage and their first Comic-Con show that aired live from the convention floor in 2006. X-Play will recap some of its past coverage from the floor of the E3 convention. Both Attack and X-Play pioneered such live convention-floor coverage.
"Attack of the Show and X-Play have been important for G4, and we want to acknowledge the creative people who have helped inspire and showcase the phenomenon of gamer culture," says G4 Media general manager Adam Stotsky. "With more than 3,000 episodes aired between them, we have more than enough great material to honor these innovators and their amazing contributions as we bring both shows to a close."

There will be a rotating lineup of co-hosts being swapped in for the remaining episodes of both shows. One can perhaps safely assume that G4 will either be nothing but 24 hour showings of Cops and Cheaters, or turn into a male version of Lifetime. After this, anything is possible.
