Ara finds more to dislike about Gran Turismo 5, Colin wonders why there are no downloadable Kinect games, Alon still can't figure out why he enjoyed plowing through levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and PEN calls in to impress us with his incredible stories of masochistic restraint from game saving.

Gran Turismo 5 finally released, so Ara has a new game to obsess over. At the same time, Alon has been obsessing over Donkey Kong Country Returns and how it's helped him identify the characteristics of fun.

In tonight's show Alon, Ara, and Colin talk about the finer points of building an arcade stick, why production values aren't everything, ladies getting jealous of videogames, the eternal struggle against corrupt videogame journalism, and beads, beads, beads in Kirby's Epic Yarn!

The group is in agreement - we don't think Kinect is very good, even if it is kinda fun. We also learn how Molly snuck her way into the Super Meat Boy credits and what Ara hates about Call of Duty Black Ops.

Danny Baranowski tries to convince you that Super Meat Boy is the greatest game on the planet, then we all reenact today's Supreme Court hearing on the California game bill set to prevent minors from purchasing violent games. Protip - the Super Meat Boy tracklet played in this episode is a portion of McLarty Party People, named after our very own Molly, who assisted with its production.

What exactly is "twitch" gameplay? Why can't Sega make a good Sonic The Hedgehog game? What does 4Chan have against Minecraft? Why is Microsoft laying it all on the line for the Kinect?

This week's episode begs the question - What is more important to the world, the racism of Enslaved or the subtle beauty of Minecraft? I'm sure you can guess which wins.

In this week's episode, we find as many ways as possible to tell you why the new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow game is not good. We also talk to Molly, our resident GameCrush girl, about the recent changes to GameCrush.
