DSmooth and Codemonkey are back with a normal show this week. From covering the latest gaming news, to the big new releases, to handling listener feedback, the show is sure to please. Combine that with a spot on Calacanis and Dvorak and you've got a weird, weird episode.
Code and Smooth discuss Prince of Persia Prodigy, before ripping to shreds Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, Ski & Shoot, Family Party: 30 Great Games, and Prince of Persia: The Fallen King.

GamingUnion.net: It's not news that the handheld scene sees a plethora and over-saturation of games that hit the market. Most of them aren't that great and the good ones are really quite far and few between. Ubisoft is easily one of the more notable publishers that constantly fart out really shoddy handheld titles, most of which are usually movie tie-ins or mere after-thoughts of the big boys on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.
Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.
I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.
