This week we have a live phone interview from the Crocodile Bay Resort in Costa Rica about Nokia's upcoming mobile fishing game Creatures of the Deep. Producer Mike Smith and Games Marketing Manager for Nokia Brandon Crick tell us all about the new game and even give some tips on how to get into the industry. Be sure to listen in to see how to win a free fishing hat or t-shirt! We report on a story that, at the time, had no red herrings, but we were quickly informed by our live chat room that the story was QUITE FAKE and that Square Enix did NOT really change their business strategy to concentrate on remakes. However, Microsoft DID add new games to the Backwards Compatability list for the Xbox 360, and some of the games were ones people were clamoring for. The latest PS3 Firmware (version 1.70 for those of you counting) now allows for your downloaded PSOne titles to play on your PS3, and you can even transfer game saves between your PS3 and your PSP. Then we take calls about Sam & Max Episode 5: Reality 2.0, getting Raiden III from Gamestop, the whole Jack Thompson thing with regards to current events, and an update on Zappy trying to fix his PSP which ends in him hanging up due to a horrible joke gone even horribler. (Is that even a word?)

There were tons of technical difficulties during the recording of this episode, hence why it took a little bit for it to be presentable. Super Paper Mario is out and brings out the anti-reading crowd. Reading is Fundamental! The final Wii browser is now out, but since shortages are going to continue for quite some time, will you be able to get it before it is no longer free? Sony is discontinuing the 20GB PS3 because there is definately NOT a shortage of those units. Guitar Hero II's downloadable content has arrived, and we are no longer on the fence about the pricing. (Hint: it sucks.) For those of you playing Oblivion on your PC and have the Shivering Isles expansion, there is a bug that will destroy your game so patch it right away! We also shed some light about what the Halo 3 beta REALLY is, as well as an observation about Grand Theft Auto IV. We take calls about Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Justice League, as well as the Guitar Hero II pricing.

Guitar Hero II is released on the Xbox 360 - prepare for achievement whoring - as long as you don't have a faulty whammy bar. Is it faulty because of the hardware or becuase of the software? MotorStorm released an update on the PS3 to allow for friends list compatability, however the way you install it doesn't make much sense. Harmonix attempted to lure us away from Guitar Hero II with Rock Band. Microsoft has changed the Xbox 360 Warranty Policy again and pledged to not allow pretexting to be successful in their customer care centers. Also, a video was leaked to show the Spring Dashboard Update which incluides a new Marketplace blade as well as Messenger integration. Then we take calls about the PSP, the Dreamcast, and the PS3's price point.

This episode rounds out our GDC coverage with an interview with Jonathan Mak of Queasy Games about one of IGF's big winners Everyday Shooter. I want to apologize for the lateness of this episode getting up - real life got in the way. Sorry! Last week, we talked a lot about the PS3 launch in the PAL territories being really terrible, but then the sales figures came in. Did they agree with us? Microsoft announced the Xbox 360 Elite, which Sony applauded and said it legitimized the PS3's strategy. However, beware if you're trying to use the transfer cable for the new 120GB HDD - there ARE some limitations! Is Nintendo withholding stock of the Wii's? Gamestop thinks so, but Nintendo claims they aren't. Plus, we take some calls about Puzzle Quest and assumptions of the Halo 3 beta beginning on April 2nd. (Hint: it didn't.) We also discuss the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer.

This week's show features a live interview with Kropotkin to discuss the PAL PS3 launch, as well as GDC interviews with the creators of IGF Finalists FizzBall and Toblo. But first, we were wrong last week about background downloading on the PS3 (which is a good thing in this case). We also discuss Folding@home briefly and invite you to join Team #57280 (the All Games Radio team). There's a PC demo download that's been going around called Puzzle Quest - sadly it's not available for purchase on the PC but it IS available for the DS and PSP. We discuss the PAL launches which include free TV's to all and viral marketing on behalf of Microsoft. Sony's UK boss then slams the competition by saying that the PS3 skipped over the next-generation and is really next-next-generation. During the Toblo interview (complete with many sound effects from the game sprinkled in) we get a first look at the DS title "Drawn To Life" by 5TH Cell. Then we take calls about how long the PS2 will last and about the dying of exclusives and the reaction to the announcement that Final Fantasy XIII's exclusitivity is in question.
