Campaign Walkthrough from GT
More from GameTrailers – Lars runs through the campaign gameplay once again. Why should you watch it for the 80th time? Because there are always little tidbits that might be different from the last one you saw. (Nice hint about some space boarding action that might come later…) Good discussion in this one. Thanks, Sean P.(Louis Wu 19:17:40 UTC)

RT: Toys Will Be Toys
Toy Story 3 got me thinking the other day… We have toys in our office, badass toys, not the old standbys from my parents’ childhood. What are their nights like?

Gamespot’s Reach Stage Demo
Over at NeoGAF, Demoncarnotaur noticed a Gamespot Stage Demo of Halo Reach – Mike Zak and Lars Bakken take over the gameplay/discussion pairing. The Gamespot host was content to watch the play for much of the time, so you get a cleaner view of the demo than in previous releases, and a very nice view of the space combat. One new fact – Zak makes it clear that Sabre gameplay is a campaign-only experience (though this includes coop) – no multiplayer. There’s also a very easy-to-read runthrough of the Firefight customization screens… awesome! Go watch.(Louis Wu 18:13:56 UTC)

RT: Drunk Tank #66
This week’s Drunk Tank (aka Rooster Teeth Podcast) was recorded ahead of time due to the fact most of us are out of town at various Rooster Teeth related trips. This week Geoff discusses the “motorcycle” accident he was in the other day. You can get the podcast via iTunes, Zune Marketplace, or via direct download. You can always check out more info about what we discuss and talk about the podcast with other listeners at our official podcast group. Enjoy!
If you have some time to spare, we are conducting a survey on people who listen to the podcast. It is totally optional and if there are any questions you don’t want to answer, please feel free to leave them blank. There is a short 3-4 minute version and a longer 6-7 minute version.

AH: E3: Top 5 Nintendo Trailers
So E3’s in full swing with all the console developers showing off their best of the best. Since it’s been a while since we had the Top 5’s, how about an E3 special. I’ll be doing the best trailers from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo as well as all the Multiplatform games. So, let’s get started with Nintendo, who fans and critics alike are picking as their top press conference of this year, and for good reason too, check out these five titles that’ll be hitting the Wii:
5. Kirby’s Epic Yarn
It’s been a while since this pink dude had his own game, and this new title gives him exactly that with a rather interesting twist, but still the same 2D side scroller fans should be used to.
4. Metroid: Other M
Samus also returns in Metroid: Other M, the 3rd person action, 1st person shooter that’s rolling up a storm! No pun intended!
3. Donkey Kong Country Returns
Bananas, barrels and mine carts means only one thing, another Donkey Kong Country!
2. Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The brand new adventure for Link, which looks to be combining the style of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, and combining it with Wii Motion Plus to make a rather impressive showing.
1. GoldenEye 007
It may have different graphics, levels, a change to the gameplay and even the new Bond. But fans of the classic like myself can’t help but get warm feelings of nostalgia at the idea of a remake for Wii!
Thanks to GameTrailers.com for all the E3 trailers!

RT: Making a good first impression
So as I’m sure you know, Jack and I are out here at E3, covering the hell out of it for Achievement Hunter. And of course, doing our best to make a good, and classy first impression wherever we go. As today’s comic shows, I think we’re representing the company appropriately.
