Robomodo president Josh Tsui catches up in a chat about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD this week, discussing the latest confirmed info on the game, whether or not “summer” means “June,” and whether we’ll see reverts return as part of potential DLC. Kat joins Dan in person while Hugh Skypes in to talk about intestinal gas, MW3′s new Face Off mode, motorcycles with sidecars, suicide sandwiches, the prices of digital downloads, IW’s new CM, Minecraft, Hot Doug’s, GH DLC on sale, Diablo III, Nolan North, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded on PS3, medieval beverages, unfinished train tracks, and cheerleaders in leather jackets. Plus, Kat really wants you to attend her art show, dammit.

Getaway: Not exactly the summer home I'd imagined
If you are waiting for the all-clear, it’s all clear — Call of Duty Elite premium members on Xbox 360 can grab content drops 9 through 12 as of now. This includes a new multiplayer map Oasis, two new Special Ops missions Iron Clad and Kill Switch, and two new Face Off maps, Getaway and Lookout — PLUS the two free Face Off maps (Aground and Erosion) that everybody else on 360 won’t get until tomorrow. So that’s the five content drops for the month, plus two bonus bits. Take today to warm up and be ready to own in those 2v2 matches when the fresh meat drops in on Wednesday!
Want the goods? Go to the Store link from the MW3 multiplayer menu and it will send you right to the new maps.
As broadband becomes more prevalent, big-name games as digital downloads only makes more and more sense. Latest case in point: GoldenEye 007: Reloaded debuts as a PlayStation Store downloadable game today for $59.99. Same game that came out on disc — 60 FPS, four-player split-screen, 16-player online matches, and PlayStation Move Sharpshooter support. Check out the launch trailer:
There’s a free demo, too. Just check out the PlayStation Store.
After a few weeks of head-scratching and easy jokes, it’s time to find out for yourself: How do you base a game on a movie that’s based on a game? Battleship: The Video Game is available today nationwide, and to prove it there’s an official press release. Look for it on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, and 3DS.
Sanctuary: One of several Elite maps that gives you 2x XP at the moment
Face-Off hits Elite premium members on 360 this week, plus you’ll get double XP on Elite playlists this week and weekend. Sounds like perfect timing for a Modern Warfare 3 PWS event this Friday, May 18 from 6pm Pacific to 8pm Pacific. If you’re new to it, here’s how it works. See you online!
Or as I like to call it, the “Several high-profile critics like Prototype 2 a lot, so what are you waiting for, here is some gratuitous gore to encourage you to not miss out” trailer.
I really am having a hell of a lot of fun with it.
