Brevity is not a word that would accurately describe this week’s show. But humorous and informative could be used(loosely). We talk about Reggie’s fears, NES memories, robotic mythical creatures and much more this week. We also announce a contest to win a copy of Rock Band 3 for the 360. But you have to listen to whole show, no skipping. Feel free to leave us, hopefully positive, feedback on itunes and/or the Zune Marketplace. When you’re done listening check out our forums @ GameEnthus.com/forums. You can also leave us some voicemail @ (202) 573-7686 or email @ GE@gameenthus.com.

Explosionade is an action platformer from MommysBestGames that is currently available on the XBLIGs channel. This is another game from the minds that brought the world Weapon of Choice and Shoot1UP. The game revolves around an oft disrespected First Lieutenant named  Terry Atticus who finds a protoype mechsuit called GRenaDOS. Atticus travels to the sewers to take the enemy, The Horronym, head on. Meanwhile his loud-mouth CO, Colonel Dagwood Bouche, berates him despite leading a lesser effort at the Horronym fortress. Some of the exchanges between Atticus and Bouche bring a nice sense of levity. Explosionade is an action packed, 40+ level exercise in jumping and shooting that reminded me of the NES classic Blaster Master. Employing the suit’s machine gun, shield and grenades to clear the levels of baddies while opening a space to exit are your primary goals. The game continuously give you tips on how to better use GRenaDOS’ functions, which really become useful facing certain enemy types and Berserker bosses. Explosionade like MBG previous release, Shoot1UP, appears to have been created with a one session playthrough in mind. However the scalable difficulty and speed in Explosionade may prove otherwise and do offer replayability. Nevertheless this game is a fun ride and a steal considering the price of admission.

Ups

plenty of action, leaderboards, configurable speed and difficulty, great price point($1), large bosses, local coop

Downs

Explosionade like many other indies will not get their due, sometimes I got sticky grenades when I wanted bouncy ones(or vice versa), no love story

Overall

If you like jumping and shooting things, in any order you choose, you’ll like this game. Buy it.

One of GameEnthus’ biggest, un-Annie like, fans has joined us this week, BigRob. Meanwhile Tiny is in Las Vegas getting distracted by all the lights and rhythmic fountain spraying. Anywho, this week we talk about Ralph Machio’s schedule, Sonic’s return(again) and collapsible furniture. Tune in, you know you want to. Feel free to leave us, hopefully positive, feedback on itunes and/or the Zune Marketplace. When you’re done listening check out our forums @ GameEnthus.com/forums.

This is no ordinary week as one of your hosts has played more games on a Sony platform than any other. We made a couple changes to the show outline, hope you like it. If not, just laugh at our jokes and pretend you do. 3DS, Halo Reach and unfair game comparisons are just a few of the topics we touch upon this week. Feel free to leave us, hopefully positive, feedback on itunes and/or the Zune Marketplace. When you’re done listening check out our forums @ GameEnthus.com/forums.
