This week there seems to be a little something missing from the show. Oh right, it’s Hilden’s drunken ramblings! John and Moe run a two man show without a firm grasp on the audio equipment, which means no Drunk Dials and right through to emails. They also remind us about the contest they have to win a copy of Bayonetta. First up in the reviews segment is Chess With Friends for the iPhone which John says has a few problems but is overall a competent chess game. Next up is MAG for the PS3 which Moe has a few criticisms of, but still recommends for FPS fans. River Raid for the Atari 2600 is the retro reviews for the week and this is a game Moe has nothing but love for.

With Hilden out this week there is once again no Feature Presentation so the show moves right on into 5 Things. Starting things out, the guys throw out a couple of wisecracks about the recent Sonic 4 announcement. Next, they touch on the shutdown of support for original Xbox games over XBL, which Moe and John again poke fun at as they don’t feel it is a good move. They close out the show with discussion on their excitement for EGM, disdain for Sony reselling PS2 games on the PS3, and  top picks.
