This episode is a combination of two seperate events that took place at the 2006 America's Videogame Expo in Philadelphia. The first 33 minutes are the All Games Radio Trivia Challenge, which tests you on obscure trivia about game audio and gaming urban legends. See if you know more than the audience! Then, starting at the 33 minute mark, is the ATARI keynote address, where Atari, Inc finally embraces the homebrew and oldschool enthusiast community and outlines their new approach. The speakers in this 20 minute address are Chris Bergstresser, Ian Sharpe, and Alex "LX" Rudis. The keynote begins *after* our traditional outtro (that was a part of the trivia contest) so don't click away when it starts!

First up, on Saturday, October 28th, at the Valley Forge Convention Center outside of Philadelphia is the All Games Radio Trivia Challenge at the America's Videogame Expo! Come win free shirts and other prizes by being more knowledgable than everyone else. But this week, an Xbox 360 died, and that will be the last you'll hear of the 360 on the show. Bully came out and is not the game the politicians promised me it would be. Sam and Max Episode 1: Culture Shock also came out on Gametap and is everything we've dreamed of an more. There's also an interesting DS RPG out there - Contact - and we ask a listener to call in and talk about it. PS3 news is coming out thanks to the Sony Gamers Day, and we summarize the announcements. However, we talk about how Sony might not hit their shipping targets, and about how to replace a Sixaxis controller if the internal lithium battery dies. We talk about Twilight Princess for the Gamecube being sold online only in the US - or rather, the rumor of it that was unfounded. Finally, we take a call on if the next generation is starting too soon and if things are looking like they're coming soon compared to previous launches.

We're going to America's Videogame Expo (VGXPO)! Listen for details on how to win fabulous prizes. We played the demos for the Phantasy Star Universe Online Beta and Elite Beat Agents, and we give our thoughts on that as well as Clubhouse Games for the DS. The Wii and PS3 preorders came and went this week - did you get one? If you did get a PS3, did you try to sell it on eBay and get your auction taken down? We get an email asking if we would pay inflated prices compared to the rest of the world...The live chat room's response may surprise you. The E3 Media and Business Summit has finally been announced, and we're not invited. G4TechTE! has also been announced, and we predict what it really means for the gaming channel that isn't. Plus, Bully doesn't get a wedgie in Miami and is allowed to be sold - much to the disdain of a certain lawyer.

This week's interview is with Stephen Granade, organizer of the 12th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition. We discuss how Interactive Fiction has evolved since the days of Zork, and what it takes to be a game designer in this medium. We also talk about why people who attended Dragon*con would most likely recognize him! We give some more advice on which system to get this holiday season (hint: it's all about the games) and then discuss the Guitar Hero II demo and TotemBall. We then talk about the biggest story (to us) that is full of awesome and win: Burger King selling Xbox/Xbox 360 games for $3.99 with the purchase of a value meal. Is this type of advergaing effective? Looks like it! We then disclose - again - that the Wii is based off of the Gamecube architecture. Apparently we're supposed to hate it now, but a special caller calms our fears. For those still buying a Wii, we have the official prices for both the retailer and the consumer for the console, some accessories, and some games. And lastly, even though Sony already says that Europe is not a part of the world, they now say that Europe doesn't care if they are or not...Uhh, what?

Sonic the Hedgehog got our Worst Game of E3 nod, was it warranted? DOOM has been released for Xbox Live Arcade at a whopping 800 points...Is THAT warranted? Guitar Hero II has been officially announced for the Xbox 360...Is buying a new guitar warranted? PS3 game prices have been shown to be the same as Xbox 360 game prices in the US, ending unwarranted speculation about game prices from Japan carrying across the sea. Some politicans want the ESRB to complete every single game before they rate it...Is that warranted? A listener sent us some audio feedback on our thoughts on the Wii...Are his comments warranted? Are you tired of us using warranted for every story? (Aren't you glad you read these summaries?) Nintendo of Canada claims that there will be one million Wii's available in North America on launch day. Also, the Opera web browser will be free until June 2007. And finally, allegedly Nintendo of Europe has leaked information that online friend codes are attached to the Wii, not to accounts of users. Bobby Blackwolf will be a guest on XPlatform from Game Addict Hotline this coming week - check for it! Also, All Games Radio would like to welcome Game Addict Hotline and Evil Avatar Radio to the family!
