In the days of Gamespot TV, the show was filmed on a simple ZDTV studio set consisting of faux-brick walls, randomly positioned TV monitors (running the GameSpot TV logo and assorted videogame footage), and functioning Gauntlet Legends and Rival Schools arcade game cabinets. For the occasional special episode, filming would move off-site to another location, such as the Sony Metreon arcade, and numerous game conventions such as the Classic Gaming Expo and E3. Each episode would start off with "Game News", where Adam Sessler would give a brief overview of top news stories on the GameSpot website. Game reviews were run in a segment known as "The Grill" (games were graded on GameSpot's official .1-10.0 system), "Spotlight" showcased special content such as interviews with industry leaders, and "Game Breakers" featured strategy guides and hints for various recently released games. New episodes would debut on weekend mornings at 10:00 AM eastern.
