This week we are joined by TStrel and talk about wrapping up Batman: Arkham Asylum and collecting stuff in Transformers: The Movie: The Game.  Then we get into a bit of Star Trek: Online and this devolves into teasing BJ about his text based (expensive) MMO adventures. Don’t call it a MUD or they’ll ban you.

After the break we talk killing zombies in House of the Dead: Overkill and offline playing Zombies!!! Afterwards we talk about same room co-op and BJ getting a TV and losing a girlfriend(?).

Lastly, our value game selections.
