X-Play Special: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Alpha (Thursday May 3, 6:30pm PT/ET) - Produced by Ubisoft and Little Minx (a Ridley Scott & Associates company), this short film is deeply connected with the upcoming video game, Ghost Recon Future Soldier. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Alpha takes viewers into the future of war with the US Armed Forces. Inserted deep behind enemy lines, the special-ops unit referred to as 'Ghosts' must strike swiftly to eliminate one of the world's most feared war criminals, and vanish as quickly as they came. But just as the Ghosts look ready to complete their mission, their surgical strike spirals out of control into an epic, hi-tech gunfight to avert a global cataclysm.

X-Play's Summer Games Preview Week (May 14-16, 6:30pm PT/ET) - The X-Play hosts will present their expert opinions on the most anticipated games of the summer and give fans the inside scoop on what's hot, what's not and which titles are worth waiting in line for.

American Ninja Warrior (Sundays, beginning May 20, 9pm PT/ET) - "American Ninja Warrior," the heart-racing and action-packed obstacle course competition series, returns this May to G4 on Sunday, May 20 (9-11 p.m. ET).

From schoolteachers to firemen to police officers to social workers, this competition gives everyday men and women the chance to transform into fearless acrobatic competitors at the six regional qualifying competitions held throughout the U.S. 100 finalists will have a shot at a $500,000 cash prize and the chance to win the coveted "American Ninja Warrior" title at the national finals in Las Vegas.

Top 100 Video Games of All Time (June 11-15, 8pm PT/ET) - What began in arcades, pizza parlors and shag carpeted living rooms has grown into a multi-billion dollar business that dominates the entertainment landscape. Whether it's addictive Facebook games, iPad apps, MMO's, or console blockbusters, everyone is a gamer. 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin can't put down Words with Friends and the New York Jets' Tim Tebow is the master of Madden. Don't miss G4's highly anticipated, and sure to be controversial, countdown of gaming's most defining moments. Celebrities, athletes, rock stars and game designers will join the X-Play experts to weigh in on which video games broke the mold and ultimately crown one landmark title the greatest of all time.

Attack of the Show! (Weekdays, 7pm PT/ET) - All summer long, Attack of the Show! will continue to bring guys the coolest viral videos, the hottest new gadgets and latest happenings in comics, music and movies. Join hosts Kevin Pereira, Candace Bailey and Sara Underwood as they wade through the crowded waters of the summer's pop culture events and highlight everything that will matter to men in the upcoming months. To help kick off the summer, Attack of the Show will help guys get their beach body ready for the summer with a week dedicated to health beginning June 11.

Comic Con (July 12-15) - Last year, hundreds of thousands of fans packed the San Diego Convention Center to experience Comic-Con, the only convention of its size dedicated to comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, movies, video games, TV and more, and as anticipation mounts for a record-breaking turnout at this year's event , G4 is ready to take fans inside the phenomenon with six hours of in-depth live coverage.
