This must be the week of the greatest comments ever, with the Wii being called "The Most Expensive Board Game On Earth" and someone at Activision getting called a "Super Douche". Jason tries his hand at being a runner in the demo for Mirror's Edge, goes out for revenge with 007 in Quantum of Solace, and grinds Steven's gears by playing Gears of War 2 to completion. Steven does some level grinding in Summon Night: Twin Age and becomes a diplomatic blood drinking thief in Fallout 3. Plus, Jason's favorite story of the week, Press Your Luck will be returning to video games on all consoles and handhelds. So, tune in and hear just how crazy Jason gets.
