MORTAL KOMBAT!! And… Batman? This isn’t like chocolate in my peanut butter, I mean interesting sounding, but deep down, it feels wrong, like getting a long massage from your uncle.

Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest is the first full album download for Rock Band. EA finally has something that prints money, and it is: Rock Band.

Okami for the Wii has an extra special bonus on the cover picture: An IGN Watermark. Was your marketing department that busy Capcom!?!?

Epic Games Mike Capps calls the Wii a virus. Little harsh but none-the-less a rather accurate assessment of the Wii.

Will GTA IV DLC be WHOLE new Cities?? That would be interesting, and expensive for the gamer, so all signs point to yes!

Unlock the Achievement, a giant internet scavenger hunt for prizes and charity! The GameHounds are involved, are you…?

Next month’s EGM talks about the return, of SPLATTERHOUSE!! WAAAHOOO!!!

Been holding out on Xbox 360? Well, if on April 29th, you walk into Best Buy, buy it, and a copy of GTA IV for it, you’ll get a $50.00 gift card from Best Buy. GTA IV for 10 bux is not bad.

Netflix is now on the list. The first company to jack the prices for renting BluRay because “consumers are used to paying more for high-definition”. Get use to Hawkes fist up your ass jerkwad.

Uwe Boll pitches a World of Warcraft Movie to Blizzard, Blizzard’s response is classic: We will not sell the movie rights, not to you… especially not to you. Paul Samms? MARRY ME!

Hi folks,

How does Hawkes do it? How does he have a life, and do a daily podcast without getting caught at work.

The answer is easy: I don’t record at work.

I record the night before.

Cheating? No.. just doing what I can to make sure you guys get a quality (bahaha) show.  Sometimes I’m late with news because of it, but the show goes on.

That’s how the show works, now what it has to do with why there was no Monday and Tuesday show, that’s easy:

Sunday:  My son had some issues that kept him up late.  By the time he went down, so did I.

Monday: Saturday’s GameHounds got pushed because of a failed back on my part, we recorded last night.

Expect a double sized show tomorrow. Sorry for the delay! Thanks for your patience.

Today I start up differently, by responding to two pieces of listener mail!

Valve releases new weapons for Medic class which requires you to earn them by unlocking acheivements. Great, so now Team Fortress 2 games are gonna be flooded with achievment whoring assholes, thanks Valve!

UK Game shops are claiming “Sold out” on Standard Edition GTA IV. Course it could be a play to garner headlines.. or push the more expensive collectors edition. Time will tell.

The original SoulCalibur is hitting Xbox Live Arcade. Can get a Hell yes?? CAN I GET A HELL YES?? Alright..

Analysts are not worth a bag of flaming shit, Patchter and others are proven wrong Xbox 360 beats the PS3 for the March NPD numbers. Who the fuck listens to these guys?!?

Unreal Tournament III will have five exclusive maps on the Xbox 360 version. Of course, that’s how it works not. Gotta catch um all. Buy all 90 editions of the same fucking game!

Grand Turismo 5 Prologue is ready for download on the Playstation Store! Really there’s nothing snarky to say about it.

Spider Man: Web of Shadows gets announced for all platforms. Appears to be closer to it’s Spider Man 2 style of gameplay. Which is really good.
