Now that CES is about over, it’s time for companies to start rolling out “Best of CES” lists. G4’s gone one better and compiled its own “Best of the Best” list, likely based on the items the TV crew could fondle between producing its live-ish coverage. (PS: CNet’s recent acquisition, Natalie Del Conte, is yummy. Thank for putting her on screen, G4).

The fifteen-item list is divided into three subcategories with five items each: Mainstream Tech, Hardcore Tech and Media Tech. None of the items are game specific, though a few could be used with games including the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV, Pico Projector and the Asus Eee PC 4G laptop and possibly the Lightglove Virtual Controller.

According to Multichannel, games and technology network G4 will be offering live video coverage for the consumer electronics show (CES) 2008. Beginning at 7 PM on January 7, 2008, and continuing the next night at the same time, Attack of The Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn will be on hand to show off gadgets and gaming news from the show floor. The network will also broadcast Bill Gates’ keynote address. According to the article, G4 will be showing “four hours of primetime programming devoted to giving viewers access to the complete CES experience”

The G4 website will also host live video from the event, along with live-blogs and video demonstrations of new products.

This seems to be the new norm - live video streaming and broadcast footage made E3 much more accessible last summer, so it makes sense that CES would benefit from the same, considering its larger scope.

G4, the cable channel dedicated to videogames, has closed the voting for this year’s annual G-Phoria awards, airing the results last night (August 8, 2007) on its review show, X-Play. The show is hosted by the gutteral-voiced Adam Sandler and sexy Amazonian, Morgan Web.

There weren’t any huge surprises, except maybe that the best system was the Xbox 360, even though the Wii has been selling well and usually seems to get favorable reviews from the channel. Of course the awards were voted on by gamers, so there’s no accounting for actual taste.

Gears of War took the most awards including Game of the Year. The Wii had a decent showing with four games and not one PS3 exclusive won an award.

This year’s award winners are…

For people who cannot visit E3 in person - which is 99.99% of the world - all the blogs and writing in the world cannot portray the experience as well as video. After all, it is insane (see, even I still try).

Cable channel G4 is trying to keep the E3 love alive with live broadcasts of the big three press events - Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft - a first for the Expo. In the past, you were luck to get a slow web stream videos of one or two of the conferences a few hours later.  G4 will also provide a live stream of the conferences on its web site.

Of course, with the new format, E3 won’t be nearly as exciting to watch on TV since…
