Episode 48: Banged for your buck

This week, The Rumble Pack Izuna Drops head first into Ninja Gaiden 2, camera problems be damned. Justin gives his impressions of Roogoo and a number of games you probably played last year, while Nick rescues a copy of Beyond Good & Evil from the bargain bins.After a brief round of trays, Nick sheds a tear for Tomonobu Itagaki following his recent departure from Tecmo. In-game advertisements, Nolan Bushnell casting, and redundant(?) WoW achievements are also given our attention. Finally, for our frugal listeners, we return to “Bang for Your Buck,” in which we tell you how to make your gaming dollars go the extra mile. *Hint* Disney Channel properties are probably not a wise start.

About the Author

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
