There really wasn't any need for a write-up this week as the only games rumored to come out are horrible, terrible Wii games that we've berated in the past. I guess we could have written up the downloadable games, but I decided to eat some leftover dessert instead. - ship

Is that an RROD 360?

Yes it is! Unfortuantely

finally Shippy! hope you had a good holiday ^^

edit: o wait, still not on iTunes yet, i will listen to it tomorrow then

I really enjoy listening -- thanks!

happy new year shippy

Happy new Year!

Instead of calling India, you can set up your repairs online and it takes all of 2 minutes. It's way less of a hassle. Hopefully you will get a Falcon like I did and you probably won't ever have to call 'Alvin' again.

I haven't had time to listen to the podcast, maybe you addressed this, but any idea when Wii Fit comes out?

What was the name of the game you were talking about towards the beginning that took you 3 hours to finish, but there are still 3 more characters to beat it with?

Hi Shipwrecks! Happy New Year! I heard about the Xbox Live Arcade gamertag problem and I told it to one of my friends, who now is worried that his referbed 360 wont be able to play his Arcade games after Microsoft turns off Live. Microsoft should also take the hard drive and reassign the games to the new console. When you get your 360 back, you should give it to Mrs. Ship so that she can finish Puzzle Quest.

i h8 when they tell u to go through the trouble shooting steps its ing broken theres no way in hell unplugging will gucking help it get back from the grave

Bubble Bobble! Brings back memories.

I have Bubble Bobble on Taito Legends for Xbox. Now Rastan is a game that I loved the music to. Have either of you guys used that for podcast intro music?

It is no wonder your 360 RRoD'd. Putting it in a cabinet like that, even if you open the doors, is asking for trouble. I predict a shorter than normal lifespan for that PS3 as well.

Great to hear the show again even if there weren't to many new games to talk about. OMG OMG Mrs Shipwreck when I heard that PuzzleQuest was pretty much broken I felt so bad for you. The game reqires a lot of time, effort and for that to happen just plain sucks. What will you do? My copy is on DS highly recommend

Like you, I am tired of seeing SMG on GOTY lists.
It's a good game, everyone admits that but it's not GOTY worthy.

It's just not that innovative, and feels so familiar and becomes loathsomely repetitive very quickly (even for die hard Mario fans). I think much of it's acclaim rises from the nostalgia of our familiar and beloved plumber. That nostalgia vaults it past the level of it's actual worth above truly groundbreaking games like OB/portal and Bioshock.



I think if "Mario Toilet plunger and Luigi Drain Snaker" game out with wii-mote motion functionality and a "scratch and sniff" card it would win GOTY from mediocre game-blog sites like Kotaku.

I totally agree with your assesment of Call Of Duty 4 and Mario Galaxy. My game of the year is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

Yeah, because Bioshock is very innovative and not repetitive.

Portal is where it's at.
