A friend of mine for a while now Jigsaw HC has decided to go all out and create his own site – a site dedicated to reviewing Xbox Live Arcade games with the ability for you to also give your personal rating, so unlike the mainstream review sites, you can see what every day gamers think about the games – similar to how I like to do reviews.  I have read Jigsaw’s reviews for a while now on his own blog, and actually thats where our connection began with reading each others reviews, and commenting on each others blog – so head on over and show some love.

Oh did I mention, he is also giving away 1600 Microsoft points?

If you like Overlord half as much as I do you should be pleased to know that 3 new Overlord titles are in the works and planned for 2009 release. First of the assault is Overlord II, the sequel to the original adventure. Which will be out for Xbox 360, Games For Windows, and Playstation 3. The other two Overlord titles are for the world of Nintendo, one coming out for the Wii, and one for the DS. Read on for the official press release

We are still alive and still rocking – episode #8 is recorded and edited, unfortunately i was a bit trigger happy with upgrading wordpress and the podcasting plug-in no longer works with the most up to date version – the show will be here soon, even if i have to just give you a direct download link (but the plugin fix is on its way soon they say).  anyway here are the show notes so you can at least guess at what we talked about!

• what have we been playing / thoughts – orange box, too human demo, the incredible hulk, geometry wars 2,
• castle crashers / current xbox live arcade pricing discussion
• Ymiris talks football
• Antediluvia vanishes
• Ymiris’ wife is a Wii repairwoman – but they still are going to send it to nintendo
• Ymiris talks about Demigod & deadspace
• we just cant stop talking about Alone in the dark, one of us should actually play it…
• got some positive feedback from a listener who is from ireland or canada….who knows!  (gamertag left of just in case he doesn’t want to be stalked)

edit: I hacked the plugin, but the podcast works again!
