Press Start

Do you like videogames?  Us too!

This week:

• MAME is really quite fun
• BBC is going to broadcast in Second Life
• The Sims is apparently a good idea for a movie
• Dirty Dancing is apparently a good idea for a game
• Colin McRae’s new game has a lot of bloom in it
• Ding

The postshow is unfortunately gone this week, as Justin needed to head off to a lab.  It is a sad thing to be sure.

Looks like I’m back on the show this week. It’s almost as if I never left considering how often I end up in the studio.

This week, we tell you that Aegis Wing on the XBLA is actually quite good, and is getting a lot more play than the Halo 3 beta that people can’t download yet, except for those that can. We cover Squeenix’s big party, the forthcoming release of Tecmo Bowl (!!!), and forthcoming cellphone games. And of course, the inevitable game that we don’t like has made the rounds recently.

Music this week is from the concept album Atebite and the Warring Nations by disasterPEACE. Modern percussion and vintage 8-bit noises. Good stuff.

Technical difficulties on this one.  Consider it a double-feature for this week.

Part B of the aforementioned Orange Lounge Radio podcast came out a few days ago.  If you enjoyed the first, I leave the rest to you.

Solo again, but not of the Han variety. Music courtesy of Jerry Schroeder and his wonderful Hexic HD album, Hexophilia.

And my take on why people hate Sony. Download.

Go buy Catan for the Xbox Live Arcade, and send me an invite if you want to play. Once again thanks to watkinzez for the email.
