I, yes I, finished a full game of Monopoly. But it wasn't just a normal game of Monopoly, no sir! It was Transformers Monopoly! Ah wuh chuh chee choo choo. Yes I know that expertly typed out Transformers transforming sound blew your mind but please stay with me here.

2 hours into the game, I have hotels (called Anti-matter in this version) on many spaces on the board including Earth and Cybertron which is Transformers Monopoly's equivalent of Park Place and Boardwalk. I draw an Autobot card that makes me pay $200 for every Anti-matter I have on the board. I have to mortgage most of my property to help pay the costs but that didn't slow me down, no sir! I came back and with vengeance gaining money faster than you could say "Ah wuh chuh chee choo choo".

Then the end game rolled around. My opponent rolls a 7 and lands on Cybertron having to pay $2000 in rent because of the Anti-matter in play. Even when he mortgaged out all his property he still couldn't afford the sky high rent costs rendering him bankrupt and I, yes I, became victorious.

Ah wuh chuh chee choo choo!

The video is here. I have no idea how this guy managed to get the game two months before it's release. He must be an employee at Rare or something.

News also broke that Banjo-Tooie (my personal favorite BK game) is going to be released early next year for 1,200 points ($15). I can't wait to play that again.

Remember, Banjo-Kazooie will cost 1,200 points ($15) and will be released on the Xbox Live Arcade November 26. But if you pre-order Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts then you'll get access to the XBLA game 2 weeks before release and for free. So you'll be able to pick up Nuts & Bolts on Nov. 11 and play BK on the same day...for free. That's a great deal.
