Due to scheduling madness and people graduating from things Elaine is left all alone this week. In an effort to keep from crying by herself in a corner she recruits the help of Dan and Evan from this very site to help wade through news about video games! Join Elaine and the boys as they discuss inFAMOUS, the terribleness of America’s Army, and how Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies ruin lives. After the break the trio dives into NDP numbers, Microsoft not knowing if a new Xbox is coming out in 2010, Sega of America’s president leaving for Ngmoco and why having a demo as a preorder bonus is a terrible idea.

Break Music is “Entry of the Gladiators” because getting that stuck in people’s heads is hilarious.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one playing through the Final Fantasy series again! I’m also working through 3 at the moment.
I’m enjoying 3. I like the pace of the job system, with a new jobs being made available after milestones in the game.
