This weeks podcast recorded while we played Castle Crashers via online multiplayer mode. We discuss Castle Crashers (duh), crazy Mario Super Sluggers reviews, Braid, Left 4 Dead, Bionic Commando Rearmed's greatness, insider info and rumors about Microsoft's new Xbox system. We discuss where we buy games and why... Gamespot, Target, Walmart and Amazon.

This weeks cast includes Fallback (brooklyniteOne), Space Barz, Talon.

This new Dualshock looking controller is wireless, has a wireless receiver adapter that plugs into the wiimote and features 4 wirdlu placed shoulder buttons. Its said to have 30 hours of playtime and there is no mention of rumble so I am going to assume it does not feature rumble. Check IGN for more info.

This game looks very fun. Left 4 Dead is developed by Turtle Rock and published by Valve. Hit the jump for more videos. Read the rest of this entry »

An Xbox 360 in a standard upright arcade cabinet. I am hoping they looked into proper cooling and airflow when designing these things. Ok, let me stop hating. These do look pretty cool and apparently they will be presented in a pay for play time type deal.

These are fully licenced by Xbox and are created by Quasimoto Interactive.

I came across this deal earlier this week and it was shipped to me so fast that I am able to confirm this for you in time for you to take advantage if your so inclined.

Fry's is selling 8GB Lexar Platinum II Memory Stick PRO Duo (PSP Compatible) here on their website for $49.99 including free shipping. After this $37 rebate you end up spending about $12. Its a great deal if you dont mind waiting a month or two for the $37 rebate. 8Gb memory sticks for the PSP typically run anywhere from $50 (if your very lucky) to over $120. So getting one for $12 is a STEAL. You only have until this Saturday to take advantage of the deal so act fast. To qualify you must purchase by Saturday, October 30th. You then have 30 days to send in the rebate form.

I tested the Lexar Platinum II Memory Stick PRO Duo card I received from this deal yesterday on a PSP Slim with custom firmware and it works fine. ISO, CSO, and all other file types play fine. Games run perfectly. I noticed no difference in loading times from my Official Sony Memory Stick. These Lexar memory sticks are Magic Gate supported and the platinum series has a lifetime warranty.

While looking into this upcoming book called "Arcade Mania" which is about the arcade culture in Japan I stumbled on this photo stream with some nice Japanese arcade photos. Have a look. I guess this will have to do until the book comes out and until my trip to Japan.
