What do bloody sneakers, biker soldiers, crappy videogame movies, sliding block puzzles, Semtex and The Clapper all have in common? I guess you could use them together in some lame new torture technique, but they're also subjects that came up in this week's gaming news. Which we talk about. With our mouths.

Mike has a gripe about PAX East and lets us all in on his complaint. The crew talk a little about the upcoming Game of the Year community poll and delve into the some sketchy practices by online social network game makers. Also: CAT GAME CAT GAME CAT GAME CAT GAME CAT GAME!!!

Ray Barnholt hangs out in the studio to show off his new DSi XL and to talk about fine foods in beat 'em up games. The crew played New Super Mario Bros. Wii together (and are still talking to each other), so we'll find out what that was like. Finally, Planet 51 takes the hot seat in Final Notes. And by "hot," I mean "lame."

MyCheats' Mike Nelson and Alan Johnson discuss strategies on defeating the Infected and the Survivors. Teamwork, of course, is paramount, but there's other important strategies you should know.

The Sports Game Guy (Todd Zuniga), David Ellis, Greg Ford and Andrew Fitch going at it, as they discuss the front-runners for the VGA Awards, Evan Longoria on the cover of MLB 2K10, the epic suckage of Tecmo's NBA Unrivaled, NCAA Basketball semi-day-and-dated, and Madden Arcade's lineup and new release date.
