This week’s gaming podcast is all about energy, excitement and enough Warcraft news to make you want to throw up in your own mouth. However, we sugar coat it with lots of other news, great community comments and we’re flashing back to Age of Empires while taking a little time to remember the man behind the Wumpus. This weeks news includes:

38 Studios Appoints New CEO
Blizzard Working on LAN support for StarCraft 2
Guitar Hero 5 DLC not compatible with World Tour
Most World of Warcraft Rumors were true
Nintendo and Sony battling it out in the handheld space
Sony Announces PS3 Slim

This week we’re asking the question, what key selling points are needed to sell someone on an Xbox 360 considering the fact that they’d love exclusive FPS titles for the console.
