The Rumble Pack

Nick, Kaz, Tom and Tony are joined by a secret guest who just can’t contain his ’secretness’. The crew talks about Every Extend Extra Extreme, Lost: Via Domus, DOA Xtreme 2 (?) and Team Fortress 2.

On our mind this week: Cut-scenes and the importance of a good Metacritic score.

In the news this week: Who’s your prince? Being Richard Gaywood and a look at Microsoft’s other bone-headed moves.

After the show, don’t forget to head over the message boards and chat with everyone about the world of gaming and beyond.

Nick, Tom, Kaz and Tony hit the books for a very serious episode of The Rumble Pack…

Gotcha!

Hilarity ensues as the group discusses the games that have been stuck in their trays this week, Games galore from SCEE’s Gamer Day and Microsoft’s Spring Showcase, and all this week’s news (Including: Sony’s interesting Australian marketing campaign, Soul Caliber’s censorship and a discussion of “What’s in Tony’s Wallet?”) All that and more!

The site has been a little slow as of late. Making uploading this week’s episode impossible. The hosting service is trying to determine the problem. The episode should be up today or tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience.

-  The Management.

Nick, Kaz, Tony and Tom convene a meeting of the gaming defense force. Before getting the big stuff they discuss this week’s obsession–Echochrome. And last week’s as well–The World Ends With You and that Grand Theft something or other. This week’s news that doesn’t involve GTA IV…still involves a Rockstar staff member.

The meat of this episode lies in talking not about a game, but the backlash a game can get. And we introduce a new segment: Bang for Your Buck, which makes each cast member stretch a budget thin to get as much gaming this month as you can get, hint: the answers aren’t that obvious.

All that and more in The Rumble Pack!
