Happy Friday, listeners! This week we punched transvestites in the face and ate pizzas that magically fell from broken mailboxes. If you’ve ever played a beat ’em up, you know what I’m talking about. Highlights include: This episode also marks the end of the Rev Rant as we know it. Why? Because it’s Anthony’s segment and he can do what he wants with it. We’re pretty sure you’ll like his new thing, though....
The time has come once again, dearest listeners. The time … fornonsense.

Zoomaroomgenerated a decent amount of critical buzz when it was released for Xbox LIVE Community Games. Since then, we’ve learned what to expect from the platform and perhaps raised our collective expectations. I fully believe skilled developers can create feature-rich, quality titles on the downloadable platform. Zoomaroomsounds great on paper: it’s a platformer with light puzzle elements. It also allows players to create their own levels and upload them via Xbox LIVE....
With the recentrevelationthatRock Bandwill be offering a way for bands and labels to produce their own tracks for use in the game in the near future, musicians of all shapes and sizes are likely perking up their ears at the opportunity. But authoring a track in a music game is a very different thing from writing a song and will be far more complicated than just uploading a file. Just ask the guys atCustomHero, where a community of fans have been producing their own versions of songs for years....
Last night I had a dream. And in this dream I was in Hell, chained to a wirelessRock Banddrum kit, forced by imps to play a non-stop setlist. A set list of 666 songs. My drumsticks, the bones of a freshly-slaughtered unicorn. I woke up in a pool of my own sweat, only to find a red envelope under my pillow. It contained the most evil (yet most metal) press release I’ve ever laid eyes on....

This rumor arises from a source atCVG, who says that the original creator of the series BioWare, will not be involved in the process. It is also being reported that the game will not be available for “at least another year.” The obvious developer to look at when speculating about this title is Obsidian, who spun a nifty expansion forNeverWinter Nights 2....
Shantaeis good. Like, really good. And the sequel,Risky’s Revenge, is also really good — the best game on DSiWare, in fact. The original game never achieved the big sales it deserved, coming out for the Game Boy Color when the Game Boy Advance was already on the market. Thankfully, WayForward is taking steps to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself. Today, WayForward announced thatRisky’s Revengewill be coming to all iOS devices in the coming weeks....

Activision has revealed that Raven Software’s title,Singularity,has been movedout of 2009 and into 2010. Why? We’re looking at you,Modern Warfare 2. “The level of excitement for Infinity Ward’sModern Warfare 2coming out of E3 well exceeded our expectations and therefore we have decided to move Raven’s upcoming sci-fi first person action title,Singularity, from 2009 to Q1 2010,” Activision said in a statement....
Last week, Media Molecule made it pretty obvious that some sort ofGhostbusterscontent was coming toLittleBigPlanet. by teasing “Who ya’ gonna call?”, it had pretty much said it all. Today, it’s gone beyond hinting, andflat out confirmed it—Ghostbusterscontent is coming toLittleBigPlanet. The latest image shows a Sackboy dressed like a ghost, re-creating theGhostbusterfranchise’s iconic logo. While we still don’t know what exactly the content will be — level pack? simply costumes?...

[Editor’s note: Kif talks about the Amiga and Mega Drive 2 for his contribution to this month’sMonthly Musings. — CTZ] My venture into the world of videogames started oddly I guess. When I was a kid, my grandad owned an Amiga, and while I was plonked in front of the TV watching God knows what (American football and wrestling according to my mum, which is kinda weird I guess), he would do what he did on there....
