It's our E3 2007 wrap-up show, and via a loophole we actually got in. We discuss why E3 took place at all in Santa Monica, and what it may mean for E For All this year and even E3 in the future. We take a look at the press conferences, and mention Sony's bait-and-switch with discontinuing the price dropped PS3 that was announced last week. Then we go over some games - Beautiful Katamari, Project Gotham Racing 4, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit, Ghost Squad (with Wii Zapper), Stranglehold, Everyday Shooter (yes, the IGF winner), and Rock Band. What did we think of the drum controller after playing it four times? Then we have an interview with Matt Webster, producer of Burnout Paradise, to talk about the amazing strides in online multiplayer and other features that are being introduced into the Burnout series. Then we take calls about other lesser known games that callers felt should have gotten more coverage, Sony not having any good press, and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. We also discuss Bobby Blackwolf's appearence on the ad for Bonus Round on Gametrailers.com as well as On10.net's Show Floor Wrapup video currently available on Xbox Live Marketplace. (I get more airtime than a FRAG DOLL!)

Y HALO THAR JOYSTIQ'S PODCAST RODEO. E3 is coming up, and we'll be...somewhere near it, kinda sorta. During the live broadcast, the PS3 was rumored to be making a price drop of $100, which Sony denied. An hour later, during the editing, Sony issued a press release stating that the price drop has arrived. Microsoft announced that they would have a three-year warranty for Xbox 360's that fail due to the red rings of death. Videos were leaked from an early showing of Rock Band that showed...something disappointing. Hopefully the drum peripheral really IS just an early prototype! We then talk about Mother 3 getting a major fan translation, the Sony vs. Church of England saga, and the upcoming football games. We also take calls about E3 and what happened in the UK to ECTS, Nintendo and the "hardcore game", and why Tecmo doesn't care for the new E3.

Another board game hit Xbox Live Arcade - Carcassone - and we love it. But also, the Black Pack for Rainbow Six: Vegas came out and people were charged for it when it was supposed to be free. They're getting a refund - but guess how long it will take? Will this open the doors for other refunds to be demanded by teh intarwebs? Xbox 360's are dying all over the place - is it as bad as the PS2 in it's early days yet? The majority of US consumers don't realize their game consoles can play DVD's according to a very expensive study. Nintendo announces original downloadable content coming in 2008 for the Wii. Then we take calls about DS durability, more Xbox Live Marketplace mishaps with dead consoles, and the difference between 30 and 60 frames per second and how it relates to the upcoming football titles for the 360 and PS3.

I humbly apologize for the delay in editing this show and putting it up - there were weather issues in the area that caused other electrical disturbances that needed to be remedied. Manhunt 2 has been in the news a LOT recently - it was banned in the UK, a watchdog group demanded the Wii version be rated AO, but it came out the ESRB already rated all versions AO, then Nintendo and Sony said they wouldn't allow it on their consoles, so Rockstar put it on hold. Are they being unfairly singled out, or has the ratings board seen something gamers haven't? Duke Nukem visited Will Wright to delay Spore...Or did he? BioWare is getting into the handheld space with a DS RPG based on...Sonic the Hedgehog? Ken Kutaragi finally steps down from Sony Computer Entertainment. And the PS3 announces they'll have 380 games coming out in the next 9 months - but not all for you. Then we attempt to take some calls, however there were technical difficulties so it was mostly reacting to chat comments about Forza 2, including driving and etiquitte tips. Although we do get a peek at an artists' rendition of the drum peripheral for Rock Band. We do finally get a caller to discuss Blockbuster Video's policy on age verification and the American Medical Association's look into classifying video game addiction as an actual disorder.

After 100 weeks straight on the air, we decided we were allowed to talk a little bit about ourselves. We give a retrospective behind the inner-workings of the show and play all of the great audio messages we received from friends of the show. GAMING CONTENT BEGINS AT 18 MINUTES IN. We learn more details about Beautiful Katamari, but you won't believe where it's going to be sold. The Church of England is going after Sony for depicting Manchester Cathedral in Resistance: Fall of Man. We read the submissions to our game music contest (complete with game music!) and pick a winner of the Best of the Best: Tribute to Game Music CD out of a hat. Then we take more ego-boosting calls but still can talk about The Agency and Soul Calibur. Check out Bobby Blackwolf cohosting the news segment of Evil Avatar Radio on Episode 61! Thanks, everyone, for your support.
