Gaming’s most dangerous duo: How X-Play Shaped a Generation of Gamers
X-Play was one of G4’s flagship shows and arguably the most influential video game review program of the early 2000s.

Strip Bayonetta - Innovative 2009 Japanese billboard Ad
In the lead-up to Bayonetta’s Japanese release in 2009, Sega executed one of the most memorable and unconventional marketing campaigns in modern video game history.
Rather than relying solely on traditional posters or trailers, Sega turned high-traffic areas of Tokyo (most notably Shinjuku Station) into interactive advertising spaces.

History of Neversoft’s Eyeball Logo
Introduced in 1999, the Neversoft Eyeball Logo was simple yet impactful: a disembodied, bloodshot eyeball skewered on a metal spike. It reflected Neversoft's edgy, alternative, and darker aesthetic, fitting perfectly with the extreme sports and action-packed themes of their games.
