This week, we start off with a LIVE REVIEW of Bit.Trip Beat for WiiWare. Video is complete with gameplay and PiP of controls! Then, we take the retro game consoles FC3 Plus and Retro Duo through their paces with direct feed audio and video of both systems playing games like Zelda, Punch Out, a Super Game Boy, Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Mario RPG, Starfox, and Castlevania III! Then it's time to put the kids to bed, as we play Madworld on the Wii. Check out the reactions to the game the National Institute on Media and the Family DOESN'T want you to play! You'll REALLY want to see the video for this one over at FNGLive.net!

We really wanted to play Resident Evil 5, but because it released that day, we had a problem getting our hands on it. We also couldn't get a hold of Madworld on short notice, so on Friday Night Gaming the 13th we played...PEGGLE. Yes, Popcap's lovable rainbow-filled unicorn-featuring casual game was just released on Xbox Live Arcade and we hook a few local players at the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA on it, as well as playing in Peg Parties with our listeners. We also take calls about a viewer in a national Street Fighter IV tournament, reminiscing about old TV commercials, and online tournament running. In the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we fix a "Blinking NES" with just three household objects, one of which we fix quite by accident and have to get a second one to do the real fix that we intended. Be sure to check out the video archive at FNGLive.net!

Opening song "Stupid Head" by VideoGameOutsiders.com. This week, we play Halo Wars both offline and online on the Xbox 360. Other topics include how to turn our video archives (which are available immediately after the live show, unlike this audio podcast) into your own video podcast, how to install the Xbox 360 Jewels that go on the power button, and iPhone/iPod Touch gaming. In the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we take apart a PS2 Guitar Hero controller and fix it's whammy bar, as well as showing how to fix the buttons and the strum bar. We also show what ordinary household item lies within each and every guitar!

The game of the week is Killzone 2 for the Playstation 3 - our Killzone 1 fanboy plays it with our online audience all night and even makes a stunning vow concerning his Xbox 360 and current collection at the end of the show! In the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we take apart a PlayStation 2 that has a Disc Read Error and fix it. Our callers discussed fighting games like Street Fighter IV and Killer Instinct, and about why FNG isn't a video podcast (and how much money it might cost to make it one!)

This week we're Street Fighter IV'ing it up playing the game on the PS3 both at our location at the Computer ArenA in Roswell, Georgia and online. We take calls about what people think of the game and the difficulty curve that exists in all Street Fighter games, and broadcast a 20-person SFIV tournament where players were competing for five free Anytime Hours at the ArenA! For the CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight, we take apart an Xbox 360 controller and show how you can improve the performance of your D-Pad. FNG is intended to be a live TV show and really should be experienced in video form at ustream.tv - video archives are available on FNGLive.net!
