Leading up to the pulse quickening conclusion, our heroes take a fond look at back at some highs (and lows) of the games of 2007. With little news and practically no new releases, it’s over an hour of the games that we all love to play.

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.
