This week, we talk Mega Man (whose 20th birthday was last week). A little about the highs, the lows, the undiscovered games in the MM canon. We spend a little time reminiscing about the blue bomber and his many adventures against nefarious robot oppressors. But before that we talk about the games we’ve been playin’ this week, including: NiGHTS, Sonic the Hedgehog (360/iPod)Just Cause, Unreal Tournament III, Everyday Shooter, PSP/PS3 Remote Play, Dirt, Peggle (iPod) and Mega Man ZX Advent.

Next week being our year-end spectacular, we’d like to hear from you guys on what your gaming high/low was for the year. Give our voicemail a call at 713-893-8069 (or Skype us at playeronepodcast) before Friday, December 28 and tell us all about it. We’ll play those on next week’s ‘cast.

This week Greg, Phil and Dan pick up CJ’s slack. The boys suffer some early holiday blues as they realize most of the big game releases for ’07 have come and gone. That doesn’t shorten the Whatcha Been Playin’ segment, however. Thrill to discussions about Super Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, Zack & Wiki, Burnout Paradise, and the unlicensed version of Tengen’s Gauntlet for the NES.

After all that, Phil tells everyone how he really feels about NPD discussions while Dan uses a lot of flowery prose and $10 words to explain away the Wii’s holiday woes.

Thanks for listening! You can leave us a voicemail comment by calling 713-893-8069 or you can send a comment via MP3 to our email address, playeronepodcast@gmail.com. Don’t forget to join our forums if you haven’t already!
