Summary

It's that time of year again. Where there are too many great games and not enough time to play them. That means, of course, that with each new release we're just adding to the backlog. But that won't keep us from playing a level or two and discussing them. This week! We're joined by Sega producer Ethan Einhorn to talk about the games we've been playing in the last seven days. That includes: Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Mega Man III, Gears of War 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, Left 4 Dead, Pinball FX, Banjo-Kazooie XBLA, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts and...we probably mentioned a couple other games in there too but you'll just have to listen and find out.

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!
