My favourite thing about this podcast is discovering gems that I missed the first time around, and that's exactly what happened this week with Metal Slug 3. This is absolutely one of the best run 'n gun games I've ever played.

It's an arcade game, and it took me a little while to wrap my head around the idea that I was gonna die. A lot. But once I got over my fear of death I found myself lost in this game's charm, silly smooth graphics, and hella fun gameplay. This was my first Metal Slug, but it won't be my last.

My guest this week is a living legend in the world of RTG, my pal Chris. He has been bugging me since episode 1 to cover Metal Slug 3, and I finally get why. We had a scare this afternoon where we thought we had lost the review audio, but everything wrapped up in a neat little PACKAGE and I can't wait for you to let us convince you to play this game.

And before we turn into zombies, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week we talk about specific controllers for specific games. If I could get Shigeru Miyamoto to autograph one item, what would it be? And am I excited about the upcoming Bubsy collection???

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 "metal" games: Metal Gear, Twisted Metal: Small Brawl, and Metal Arms.
