The guys are back from Japan and the PSP Go maintains its status as the biggest topic of the week with it starting the scoops. Everyone shares their thoughts, but it is covered in much more detail on this week’s Podcast Beyond.

Besides Sony’s latest portable, there aren’t too many big stories this week. The crew shares their apathy about Capcom’s motion controlled take on Resident Evil 5 and touch on their other announcement of Super Street Fighter 4. Dead Space 2 has been confirmed to be in the beginning stages of pre-production, but that means that it is still probably 2 years off at this point.

There is a quick Knockin’ Boots before Greg takes the mic in a shockingly candid and honest move to share with us that he is in the divorce process. He handles this in an extremely tactful, heartfelt way and rather than try and break down the details here, we suggest you go hear it straight from Greg.

Covered games and topics: PSP Go, DJ Hero, Resident Evil 5: Alternative edition, Super Street Fighter 4, Dead Space 2, Knockin’ Boots, emails, Greg shares

It’s Daemon Hatfield, Greg Miller, Craig Harris, and Hilary Goldstein this week. We’re back from Tokyo and ready to get down to business. IGN is under new management, and Hilary (aka The Man) is here to lay down the law. Warning: this podcast will have considerably less Japanese beer and Dirty 30 than the last three.

The PSPgo is here and everyone has a strong opinion about it.

Dead Space 2 is getting ready to go into production — which is disappointing, since we all assumed it was already in production.

DJ Hero is almost here, and it sounds like the sequel is already under way.

This week’s Wii system update might be bricking unmodded consoles.

Resident Evil 5 (Alternative Edition) will add goofy motion controls to the action game.

Plus, we answer a bunch of listener mail about miso soup, the Game Gear, and AAA games. Don’t forget, we’re available on iTunes, along with episodes of Game Scoop! TV. Remember to rate the shows while you’re there.
