I humbly apologize for the delay in editing this show and putting it up - there were weather issues in the area that caused other electrical disturbances that needed to be remedied. Manhunt 2 has been in the news a LOT recently - it was banned in the UK, a watchdog group demanded the Wii version be rated AO, but it came out the ESRB already rated all versions AO, then Nintendo and Sony said they wouldn't allow it on their consoles, so Rockstar put it on hold. Are they being unfairly singled out, or has the ratings board seen something gamers haven't? Duke Nukem visited Will Wright to delay Spore...Or did he? BioWare is getting into the handheld space with a DS RPG based on...Sonic the Hedgehog? Ken Kutaragi finally steps down from Sony Computer Entertainment. And the PS3 announces they'll have 380 games coming out in the next 9 months - but not all for you. Then we attempt to take some calls, however there were technical difficulties so it was mostly reacting to chat comments about Forza 2, including driving and etiquitte tips. Although we do get a peek at an artists' rendition of the drum peripheral for Rock Band. We do finally get a caller to discuss Blockbuster Video's policy on age verification and the American Medical Association's look into classifying video game addiction as an actual disorder.
