Steven does some Geo-Modding in Red Faction: Guerrilla and gets Doc to fix up his cuts in Punch-Out!!. Plus, we go into the reasons why Metacritic.com is busted and give you the May NPDs. Tune in at your own risk.

I blame Canada for the length of this show and for the PC crash that halted the recording last week. Your hosts, however, don't blame anyone for all great and not so great games they've been playing in the mean time. Jason hops in the ring with UFC 2009, gets a ton of games for free, and gives Gears 2 the cold shoulder. Steven heads back to the wasteland in Fallout 3, finishes his second run through of Fable 2, and hates on the Battlefield Heroes beta. Plus the news and the NPDs for April. Tune in for a jam packed show.

Only 5 bucks for one slightly used soul, that's a sweet deal if I ever saw one! In this rant filled episode, we go off topic more than once. Listen in amazement as our train of thought goes of the tracks at nearly ever turn. Jason finally uses his PS3 for more than TV or movies this week with an update on Home and MLB 09: The Show. Steven has lukewarm feelings toward the multiplayer demo of Bionic Commando and lets loose a storm of cursing at Fable 2. Going off road was never this much fun, so tune in and see where the dirt road takes us.

This episode is sponsored by NFL doctors, who remind you to always wear a cup. That's a joke by the way. Jason, however, does break some bones and some nuts in Blitz 2 on the 360. He also grabs a buster sword and dices up classic FF7 monsters on the go in Crisis Core on the PSP. Steven apologizes for the delay in finishing the editing last episode and blames it all on Fable 2 for the 360. Plus, arguments galore in the news. So tune in and wear your cup for this installment.
