The MasterGazelle Show returns in two weeks, as this weekend XBAcast is bringing you something special. A live roundup of all things PAX, straight from the location itself. Brought to you by the letters X, B, & A and the number 12. Actually Brought to you by Jordman12 and Conartisic. Listen carefully to the end of this week’s show for a briefing from Jordman12 on what to expect on the ‘Live from PAX’ show.

Ok I’m an ASS, I told everyone to email XBANFL@xbapodcast.com and didn’t turn on the “catch” option for the email so it all got bounced back and none came to me, except for those who contacted me through XBL.   Anyway if you want in I fixed the email issue.  Sign-up now So we can do the draft before the opening games.

Third time’s the charm. Show number 3. The crew are definately too comfortable. They have been noticed smiling and laughing. Still the decks are clean, the silver shining, and the Brass Monkeys neat.

This week we discussed:
PC case for 360 Guts.
Rhythm Game face off.
Price cuts-Some don’t.
Breakout for Prison Break.
More Viral vids from Rare.
What not to wear.
Bionic Commando Arcade & retail.
Be more evil with Overlord 2

Many thanks to my Co-hosts. The decks have never looked so clean. We’ll all drink rum and sing some shanties later. Thanks to the listeners. We hope you found the show enjoyable and informative. Next week I might try hanging Jordman by his ankles from the mizzen mast, or swapping ships buscuits for doggy biscuits & get Monty’s opinions on a few things.

Well Star Wars The Force Unleashed has hit the XBLM. The demo has a small level, and a quick force grip trainer. The game is very good and very addicting. THe graphics look great the controls are easy to handle and very diverse. There are many different types of force moves and lightsaber attacks all of which are easily done with a few button taps. Targeting objects to pick up and throw is simple and A LOT of FUN!! I found myself not even using my lightsaber much but just picking up something and throwing it at a group of stromtroopers, or just picking said storm troopers up and slamming them into a wall.
The many different physics engines behind SWTFU are used really well. There is one part where I send a massive force push down a hallway and glass and piece just fall off the cielings and walls and the force rolls down the hall.
I can’t wait till I can get my hands on a full copy. I put some videos for your enjoyment after the break.

Well it seems that in a few weeks we will be seeing a price drop of all XBOX360 units. Scans from the 9/7 Radio Shack ads shows new low prices as follows; Elite $399, 60gig $299 and Arcade $199. If this is the real deal you can rest assure that with the new dashboard roll out and now newer lower prices we will see 360’s fly off the shelves.

Ok, I’ve been putting this off for too long, so here it goes. As Magaman already mentioned, some of us here at XBAcast will be hosting a live show on the Sunday at the Penny Arcade Expo. Of course, it will be after PAX is already over. I plan on starting the show somewhere between 7:00 - 8:00 PM PST.

If you have anything you want us to say on the air, send me email at jordman12@xbapodcast.com. In the subject line, put something like LIVE SHOW. In the message box, be sure to include your gamertag (so we can give you a shout-out) and whatever you want to say. There will also be a chatroom available when we go on the air. When you click on the chatroom, it will bring up a small window asking for your gamertag. After you type in your gamertag and press “submit”, you will be taken to the chatroom.

PAX is less then ten days away. I can’t wait. See you guys then !!!

PAX 2008 is just about a week away and we at the XBAcast are getting ready to cover the event for you.  Jordman12 and Conartistic will be heading to the west coast next week to provide daily updates ot the website, and we will be also streaming some live content to you (times coming soon) Make sure to check back through out the event.

That’s right folks, the highly anticipated new Star Wars game The Force Unleashed will be unleashed on the Xbox Live Marketplace as a demo this Thursday the 21st.!!!  I for one will be eagerly waiting for Thursday.

I was on vacation from August 8th all the way to today and although I do not post many articles I just want to give a heads up to everyone who dont already know that if you have Fable 2 preordered that you can now pickup a reedemable code from Gamestop/EB Games and enjoy free arcade games to earn yourself money for your hero for the release of Fable 2.

Needless to say from the 2 hours or so I spent playing they are more challenging than ever one game is an old version of slot machines, the second is a game of roulette played with dice, and the third is a Press Your Luck type game.

All of which provide your character wealth in the October release of Fable 2 but one fact you should make you understand is that if you arent a big winner and luck isnt on your side all of the debt you may rack up will effect you and your reputation for your hero in Fable 2.

So press your luck gain in-game items and gold for your adventurer
