This week! Voicemails, tweets and whatcha been playingses. In the first segment we cover a lot of ground, from favorite platformers and Sony's new ad campaign to utter disappointment at Best Buy's The Beatles Rock Band demo day. Games discussed during this 149th show include Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Uncharter, Shadow Complex, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Warriors Orochi 2 (PSP), Madden 10 and Peggle.

Beware potential spoilers for the first hour or so of Batman Arkham Asylum from 1:03:25-1:13:00.

And that, friends, is this week's episode. Note, although this episode is called Diabolical Boxes, we barely talk about the sequel to Professor Layton that came out last week.

"Sweet Chip O' Mine" by 486 at 8bitcollective

This week two Gregs, a Phil and a CJ discuss many topics from the last week in gaming. Among them, the issues regarding the release of Shadow Complex, the slim PS3, PSP Mini games and more. Also, discussion on hot new game tapes like Splosion Man, Trials HD, Flipnote Studio, Dirt 2 and...there are a few others mixed in there I think.

This week! All four hosts are back to talk about games. Voicemails, tweets, what'cha been playin'--this episode is packed. It's also a bit late to publish, and in the rush it's not as carefully edited as usual. Since Greg Ford hit his mute button about 35 minutes in for about 10 minutes you may hear some silent patches there when he would normally be speaking--feel free to add your own dialogue in for fun (kind of like an audio Mad Libs). Some of the games discussed in this episode include Wii Sports Resort, Prototype, Monkey Island, the NXE update, Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, Fat Princess, Call of Juarez and more. Enjoy.
