Gaming Podcast 210: Meretzky Ruined Our LivesGaming Podcast 210: Meretzky Ruined Our Lives
This week we’re flashing back to Grim Fandango and looking back at developer Steve Meretzky and his destruction of our lives in the social gaming space.
We’ve got other news this week which includes:
- Activision Kills Guitar Hero
- Blizzard Wants to Release Diablo III This Year
- Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 Leaked On BitTorrent
- CliffyB On Why Gears Is Still a 360 Exclusive
- Ensemble Studios Founder: Age of Empires III a “Huge Mistake“
The question of the week is: How many hours do you devote to video games, including social networking games?
Five Dollars Gets You 55 Original Rock Band SongsFive Dollars Gets You 55 Original Rock Band Songs
If you’re into Rock Band and love the songs you’ve played, you may want to migrate them into Rock Band 2, correct? For the price of 400 Microsoft points ($4.99) you’re now able to download an export “patch” to allow exporting of 55 Rock Band songs into the next version of Rock Band.
There are a total of 58 songs in Rock Band, you can export 55 of them with the patch, left out (perhaps due to licensing issues) will be: Iron Maiden’s “Run to the Hills”, “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath, and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.”
For five dollars this isn’t a bad deal, definitely worthwhile if you’re looking to have a huge library of rocking songs for Rock Band 2.
Today, we’ve learned the PlayStation 3 will get the same export feature as DLC, if you’re into the PS3 and plan to get Rock Band 2 you’re in luck. Also included in the PS3 patch, you’ll now have the ability to use your Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul Guitar with Rock Band. Excellent news.

This week we’ve got the Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect and we thought we’d do a quick review on a couple of the titles we picked up. We’ve dug up some history on the Game Com Handheld, comment on some community feedback and hit the news:
- More MMORPGS using the free to play model
- Microsoft convinced Kinect will sell better than awesome
- Sony hopes Nintendo’s 3DS does well
- Microsoft Kinect Selling out
This week’s question of the week, have you ever caved into the peer pressure, press and “sold out” signs to pickup a piece of hardware, software or other device?
