And did someone say DLC? Plus we talk Warhammer Online, The Witcher, and Samba de Amigo. A truly epic Great American Ajguy Gaming Quiz and a bevy of MMO news rounds out this week’s episode.

It’s the highest rated XBLA game yet, it’s garnered critical and financial success, and it’s basically the only game we played this week. Well, that and more Soul Calibur IV. Join us for a special post-show discussion on Jonathan Blow’s excellent new game, Braid. We also continue to cover Mega Man 9 and Burnout Paradise because they always manage to be in the news.

The soul still burns in this week’s Exploding Barrel Podcast. Soul Calibur IV is upon us, and thanks to the allure of the Star Wars franchise, we have both versions between us. It’s Vader vs. Yoda (we wish) as we talk about how good the game is (so good). Not to be missed, Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 has been released on XBLA, bringing back the high score craze like it’s 1989. The Great American Ajguy Gaming Quize is back as well.
