Episode 78 - Don't Believe The Hype
This week was filled with awesome video game news, which means we've got plenty to talk about on this episode of UncleGamer Radio.
First up, we give you a list of all the titles Parris will be previewing at the Microsoft Spring Showcase later this week. Be sure and listen, because there are some surprises in here.
We also talk about the recently released Gears Of War 2 gameplay footage and which of us is in love with it, the Call of Duty 5 forthcoming launch (and our rants on it), and the Sony PlayStation Day. We also have a long 'discussion' about the PlayStation and how we're annoyed at the excessive hype that Sony is working up, only to leave the payoff lacking.
We're hoping to hear your thoughts on this week's topics as well, so drop us a line at

Episode 77 - Steam For Windows
It's time for another episode of UncleGamer Radio, the only podcast dedicated to disagreements.
In this week's episode, we're talking about the upcoming PlayStation Day in Europe and the potential outcomes it'll offer for consumers, Microsoft and Yahoo turning down a chance to own Steam, and the recent controversy over the developers of the Ghostbusters game and their comments that the Xbox 360 version of the game is holding them back.
We also unveil our big surprise that's been a few weeks in the making: UncleGamer Radio Live! A week after the Microsoft Spring Showcase event, we'll be holding a Live call-in show via Skype. You'll be able to ask us your questions on the upcoming titles that Parris was able to preview, talk to us about the show itself, and more. All you'll need to join us is a broadband connection, a free copy of Skype, some headphones, and a microphone if you'd like to talk to us. Listen to the show for more details, and be sure to check out our site for more info in the coming weeks for all the details.

 Episode 3 - The Iron Knight
Our third episode kicks off with Jay's opinions on Caddyshack. Yes, he finally sat down and watched it. What was his take on it? Find out at the start of the show.
We also had a chance to see the new release of Iron Man this past weekend. Does Marvel's newest superhero flick live up to expectations? We also tangent off into a discussion about the upcoming cavalcade of summer movies, and the awesome releases coming over the next few months (as well as the less-than-awesome ones)
The new trailers for The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls debuted this week, and we geek out over each of them.
As a cautionary note, the Iron Man discussion contains a ton of spoilers for the movie. If you haven't seen it yet, skip from the start of the discussion to the 35:15 mark, which places you outside of the spoiler blast radius.
We really appreciate our listeners, and if you enjoy our show, we hope you'll take 60 seconds out of your day and leave us a positive review on iTunes. Also, if you've got questions, or just want to send in your thoughts on our show,

Episode 76 - Grand Theft Mario
OK, we lied. We're not taking a week off. Instead, we bring you this special edition of UncleGamer Radio. This episode is dedicated to the two big game releases this week: Mario Kart Wii and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Find out what we think about Mario Kart Wii. Is it enough of an upgrade? Is the Wii Wheel all it's cracked up to be? We give you our thoughts.
We also give you the full scoop on Grand Theft Auto IV, which launches today. Parris has been playing the game for a few days now, and he's here to tell you all about the goodness that is GTA4.
Have you been wavering on picking this up? Want to know more about the game before you head to the store to buy a copy? Then make sure you listen to this week's show. We answer lots of the questions that might be nagging at you, whether you're a GTA fan, or someone that's been turned off by the last few entries in the series. Don't make your purchase without listening to this show.

Where's my Achievement Junkie!?
Its Wednesday, right!? Isn't there supposed to be a new episode of Achievement Junkie for me to listen to? If you're asking yourself this question, you are not alone.
For the first times since the lauch of Achievement Junkie (and even before we were called Achivement Junkie), we are taking 2 consecutive weeks off. WTF?? This time, its Nelson's fault! Yup... it seems as though there's a crazy disease running wild in Redmond, WA and it founds its way into Nelson's system. He sounds like he ate an oversized, over-fluffy persian cat (poor cat).
We plan on being back in full effect next week! Thanks for your patience in the meantime...
