You’ll have to forgive Andrew, he’s not quite the same after a long day at work, but he eventually gets back on track! Our two intrepid heroes take a swipe at this weeks news and releases with added gusto! On the block is Activision; more Activision; oh and did we mention Activision? Yeah they’re satan.

Nothing starts off a week better than a new console and with a new PS3 in the house, much fun is to be had. Dave joins the fray as we talk about Capcom, the mainstream media, remakes, more of the Top 100 from Edge and more!

Dave and Andrew kick out the week’s news and new releases despite the dribbling from Dave over the new House of the Dead shooter on the Wii. On the chopping block is another attempt to understand 50-Cent, Activision’s continued efforts to remain the safest company in the industry and yet another patent fallout for Nintendo and Sony.

I’ve managed to cobble together a quick-shot blast using the new studio setup, so consider this more of a test and a chance to catch up on the news of the week. I’m still getting used to the bits and the bobs and the shiny things I shouldn’t touch (special effects… BAAAAAD – well they’re good but they make for a tacky show unless I can find a proper use for them!). Enjoy!
