You'll get two perspectives on the game: one from a seasoned veteran of the series, and one from a first-time player. During this month's Concertcast, the guys cover a vast timeline as they come up with their Top 7 albums of the 1970's. Will Rich find another game that improves his opinion about modern, 3rd person shooters? Will Shawn have different feelings about this title after so many years behind him? And how does the original Gears hold up over the years with multiple additions to the series? Tune in and fine out!

In this month's episode, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) get into the groove as they peck and flick their styluses to the beat of two Nintendo DS rhythm games, Elite Beat Agents & Rhythm Heaven. These two very Japanese-esque titles are very fun and quirky, but couldn't be more different in terms of gameplay, sound, and art styles. Which of these games did the guys prefer over the other? Who couldn't even finish the first stage of Rhythm Heaven? And whose frustrations made them murder their couch with a stylus? Tune in and fine out!
Also, be sure to check out the Concertcast this month where we discuss our favorite soundtracks primarily recorded by a single artist or band.

In this month's episode, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81), are joined by good friend and RF Generation site Director, Adam (bickman2k) to discuss his favorite game of all time, Earthbound for the SNES. When this humorous and cute RPG first hi the shelves, it went virtually undetected by gamers; now, years later, it has become one of the most talked about and beloved games on the system. We breakdown this title to see if the love is deserved, or if it's just another high-priced, scarce relic of bygone days. Before our gametalk, you'll want to tune in to the Concertcast, where we pick our Top 3 one-hit wonders whose amazing catalogs of music went virtually unnoticed. Be sure to log on to the forums to submit your picks. Will Earthbound first time players, Shawn and Rich's lofty expectations, or is this one better left in the goody case? Tune in to find out!

In this month's episode, the Playcast and the Shoot the Corecast join forces with Cammy and her Anti-Robot Special Forces to take on an onslaught of robot terrorists in Psikyo's Cannon Spike on the Sega Dreamcast. Rich (singlebanana), Shawn (GrayGhost81), Josh (MetalFRO) and Addicted discuss the ends and outs of this wannabe twin-stick shooter and determine whether this pricey title is one that you need to add to your collection. During the Concertcast segment, the guys choose three bands/artists that they would like to see if breakups and deceased members were no obstacle. We are extremely excited to present this RF Generation site podcast crossover as we play through this classic, action-packed title. Ask yourself, are YOU ready for Baby Mode?

As a special treat, Frank also joins the boys in another special segment of the Concertcast in which all three divulge their Top 5 Albums of 2007 and of course a errrrr.....few honorable mentions..... How did the guys feel about this platforming, Diablo-style dungeon crawler? What was their favorite song from 2007? And which one of them has never heard Rihannah's "Umbrella?".......Seriously! WTF??
