Leading up to the pulse quickening conclusion, our heroes take a fond look at back at some highs (and lows) of the games of 2007. With little news and practically no new releases, it’s over an hour of the games that we all love to play.

This week we talk about what everyone else is talking about. That’s right; we talk about the Gamespot debacle. We also talk new Xbox features, a disappointing development in the Star Trek MMO, the games we played last week (because not much came out this week), and begin counting down to our game of the year. It’s the Best Ever… This Year.

This week we dive into an embarrassment of riches ranging from Super Mario Galaxy to Assassin’s Creed, with a little Smackdown vs. Raw for good measure. Movie licensed games are discussed, as is Mike’s disgust with reporting on guitar based game downloadable content (which we do this week). Everyone got the memo, right? We do this on Mondays now.
