It’s the biggest crossover since the regular Muppets met the Fraggles! This week, former Ziff Davis alum and Plastic Axe founder Joe Rybicki teams up with the Rumble Pack to talk about last fall’s music games and the hazy future for the genre. (Also, prepare to have your expectations exponentially raised for Band Hero.) Later, the guys look at the impending Verizon/iPhone announcement, CES news and 3DS Japanese launch details. Plus, Zuma Blitz, Alpha Protocol‘s secret rings, more Amnesia chills, an unfortunate Michael Jackson experience, our most anticipated games of the year and an upcoming fleet of Game Boats.

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.
