This week we talk about what everyone else is talking about. That’s right; we talk about the Gamespot debacle. We also talk new Xbox features, a disappointing development in the Star Trek MMO, the games we played last week (because not much came out this week), and begin counting down to our game of the year. It’s the Best Ever… This Year.

This week we dive into an embarrassment of riches ranging from Super Mario Galaxy to Assassin’s Creed, with a little Smackdown vs. Raw for good measure. Movie licensed games are discussed, as is Mike’s disgust with reporting on guitar based game downloadable content (which we do this week). Everyone got the memo, right? We do this on Mondays now.

I’m a bit confused.
Super Mario World
was on an island?
Remember Geno,
From Mario RPG?
I miss him. He’s cool.
Jeez, captured again?
Peach should be locked in a cage.
A nice, cozy cage.
A bumble bee suit.
What could possibly be next?
Do bees live in space?
Leave Sunshine alone.
It’s not as bad as you say.
You all are stupid.
After Mario
The Wii will be still, silent.
Three months until Smash.
I just realized;
Where’s my collectible coin?
An injustice served.
I went to Gamestop.
There I met my great sadness.
The kiosk was dark.
The stars abundant.
Get a hundred and twenty
Play as Luigi.
A plant of fire.
White and red look oh so good.
Retro in style.
– Mike
Galaxies await.
Good thing I preordered it.
Five dollars well spent.
– Mike
This week we almost spent more time playing games in stores than in our house thanks to demos of Super Mario Galaxy and Rock Band. As the last gen seems to finally be fading out, we discuss the best ever game from the PS2, GCN, Xbox era. More Final Fantasy, some Castlevania, and Hellgate: London round out this week’s played games.

The Exploding Barrel podcast has just become a more official member of the 411mania network, more specificaly the gaming zone. This is pretty good news, since I’m sure it will mean more exposure for us. It’s also good for you listeners, since we’ll hopefully be getting some other 411 writers to join the podcast from time to time. Variety is the spice of life, right? Anyways, this is a good step forward for our still young podcast.

This week, we chastise Sony a bit (don’t worry, Mike picks on Microsoft too). Mike picks up a side quest in his adventures in Final Fantasy, Ajguy gets sucked back into Oblivion, and for some reason we discuss the best Sonic game ever. This will be the last show produced with Ajguy is Los Angeles, so this is sure to become a collector’s item. Get it while it’s hot!
