    The pressures of deadline won't deter the EGM staff from coming into the studio to record Live*. This week's mailbag has the crew discussing: backwards compatibility on the PS3; if EGM has a vendetta against Mortal Kombat; and...just what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks a "non-game" is. They also talk about whether Mass Effect's new downloadable content is worth 400 spacebucks; if Burnout: Paradise requiring a hard drive is a good thing; and they do a little pimpin' for 1UP's 2007 Videogame Awards.

    EGM Live* goes longform this week -- with a little confusion among the guys as to what "longform" means. The crew open again this week with some listener mail where they discuss GTA clones and their expectations for Grand Theft Auto IV. Next, they revisit The King of Kong to talk about the documentary's release on DVD. And to wrap things up, Shoe chats up a couple strategy games, specifically Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, and PixelJunk Monsters. Does Shoe mention Halo at all? Tune in and find out.

    No spam this week, but we do open the EGM Mail Bag and check out a few letters from listeners and readers. We find out how EGM gets exclusive covers, a request for a GTA-style Hulk Hogan game, and why a gangsta's life isn't all about hijacking cars and unlimited ammo. In our sexy-hot Final Word segment, the crew discuss the suckiness that is Fox News, the awesomeness that is Nathan Drake's t-shirt, and the coolness that is this Spring's big videogame battle between Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Gr

    It's more holiday madness as the EGM Live* crew gets together to discuss what we did over the December break. Some of us played games and some of us didn't, but as always, you can expect lively discussion of the latest games, including Portal, Rock Band, Guitar Hero III, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass...in 25 words or less! (Or not.)

    On a very special EGM Live*, Editor-in-Chief Dan "Shoe" Hsu and Senior Editor Crispin Boyer reminisce about EGM covers of yore. They talk about the first issues they worked on, their favorite EGM covers, some covers that still seem fantastic, and others that haven't aged quite so well. But make sure you've got your mittens on, because it's cold in here!

    This week on EGM Live*, a couple editors get together to air our true feelings about the ending to Assassin's Creed.

The Review Crew doesn't have a lot of games to cover, but that doesn't stop us from talking about a few interesting downloadable games, Shane's knowledge of the sports-game genre, and one special DS game we recently discovered. And in a mammoth Question of the Week segment, we
