VGS Show 145 (6.1.10) 03.06.2010

Another calm before the storm episode:  with E3 right around the corner companies are guarding their secrets a little more closely than usual.  We talk a bit about what news did happen as well as a few of the rumors floating around in the aether.

VGS Show 143 (5.18.10) 19.05.2010

We shortened the show up a bit this week due to a lack of interesting things to talk about.  Kraft does have a special announcement to all of the people who bought the Stimulus Map Pack though.

VGS Show 142 (5.11.10) 11.05.2010

It's a lazy week.  Don't feel like typing a bunch.  We do news, NintendoJunkii does a review and we laugh a bunch.

VGS Show 141 (5.4.10) 05.05.2010

Almost a third of our news this weeks is dedicated exclusively to Bungie, Infinity Ward/Respawn and Activision.  Not surprisingly we get rather excited when it is time to move on.  Also, this is the first show we've held a live webcast during!  Interested in more?  Then listen to this week's brand new Video Games Show!

VGS Show 138 (4.13.10) 14.04.2010

VGS Show 137 (4.9.10) 10.04.2010

The new show is finally out as our normal Tuesday recording got usurped by disease.  This week we talk about how much Kraft hates people who buy 15 dollar map packs, how Ubisoft is slowly destroying the faith we had in them and much more!  

VGS Show 136 (3.30.10) 31.03.2010

VGS Show 132 (3.2.10) 03.03.2010

WTF Activision?  Did the real Activision get kidnapped and replaced by their Bizarro-world counterpart?  Rich and Kraft try to make sense of some seriously crazy news this week.  We also discuss the fact that Rich couldn't review Heavy Rain due to a system-crashing PS3 bug...  And that is just two of the many things we have to talk about!  Come see what other craziness is getting dropped on this w...

VGS Show 131 (2.23.10) 24.02.2010

Apparently Kraft is the only one excited about true 3D gaming.  Rich and Iwata don't care.  Plenty of other fun stuff in the news.  In fact this was a pretty entertaining episode all together.  At least it was for us, you can be the judge of its entertainment value yourself.  Don't forget to let us know what you think of the world-famous Video Games Show!

VGS Show 128 (1.27.10) 28.01.2010

We know, we know...  Apple stole the entertainment limelight by introducing us to the NEXT THING WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE UNLESS WE WANT TO FEEL LIKE A BUNCH OF BACKWARDS HICKS!  That aside we do have plenty of news from the world of video games as well as a review and your listener emails.  Steve Jobs does put on a hell of a show, but only The Video Games Show can keep you entertained year round!
