This could be the year of the PSP, we tell you why or why not in this episode. Jason woos more people to the PS3 camp and does some killing in Killzone 2. Steven gets to the bottom of why Jason needs a melee move in all shooters and declares Call of Duty 4 the best shooter ever made. We find out the price of entry for the Watchmen game, Jason says no, Steven says yes. Plus, we talk weather and Jason runs off to a midnight launch.

Episode 43 will be one day late. Sorry for this delay.

This week we've got Street Fighter on the brain as we count the hours until the game is in stores. In the mean time Jason goes old school with Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection and he brushes up on his fighting skills in Turbo HD Remix. Steven's soul still burns for Soul Calibur 4 and he hops on a warthog to test drive the Halo Wars demo. The news dam breaks and we get flooded with 24 stories to send your way. We promise next week the features will return... unless the news gets crazy again.

Sorry for the delay folks, but we had some problems getting this episode recorded. This week we discuss Comic Con NY and what was on display for video games. Steven gives us his first impressions for some of the big name titles on the show floor. Jason searches for Alma in F.E.A.R. 2, then heads for Europe to play the uncut version of MK vs DC. The news is overflowing this week so there's no room for a feature. So, hop on that treadmill and join the fun.

This week the show may seem long, but don't be fooled. Only the fist hour and a half is video game related, the rest is about the cancellation of official UDE support for the VS System card game. For those of you interested in only the first half though, we have a great show for you. We try out the RE5 demo and discover that Steven needs to practice his teamwork skills. He, also goes through the roof with anger for God of War 2 and cools off with some World at War multiplayer. Jason hops in his DeLorean to go back to the future in Chrono Trigger and gets a beat down from a bag of bones in Order of Ecclesia. Plus, a metric ton of new game announcements in the news.

What happens when two game companies merge? They need a new name, obviously. Steven tries to help speed up the process by offering his input. For his effort, he gets gutted by Kratos from God of War 2. Jason consoles himself by joining the military in Valkyria Chronicles and by playing more then double the number of games Steven did this week. Plus we throw in our Top 5 Favorite Old School Game Endings. Its a long one this week, so kick back and enjoy.

Yes, that is the title. I find it funny. If you listen to the show you'll know why as well. This week we decide to plunk down the cash to get joysticks and gamepads for Street Fighter 4, as well as weep for the fall of a game coverage giant. Jason joins the Battle for Asgard and Steven hates on Halo 2. Plus, we give you a brand new Top 5.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that episode 35 will not be out until next week. Life is like that some times.

Still playing Dead Space, still loving the hell out of the creepy factor. If you like Resident Evil 4, you will love Dead Space.

Tune in next week for the last episode of 2008.
