91.7 KAXE Video Game Review
Recorded at KAXE's World Video Game Headquarters
in Spring Lake, MN - [a.ka. Remote Studio #3]

Upcoming info:
The Quake series has long been a favorite of ours, but is there anything that makes it better than all the other FPS (First Person Shooters) out there other than history?  Developed by id Software, Quake 4 has been released for the Xbox 360 and the Strogg look meaning and madder than ever...  Be sure to listen Monday Mornings around 7:50!

Upcoming Topic:
Do you know what "Drift Racing" is?  This is when you throw your race car into a controlled skid around each curve in the track.  While very popular in Japan, it's an up and coming sport here in the U.S. - but how is it for gaming?  We are testing D1 Grand Prix, developed by Yuke's Media Creations, now.

Also...
Rockstar Games, the people who have caused more video game controversy with the Grand Theft Auto series than any other game developer, released a Table Tennis game for the Xbox 360.  We're as surprised as you are...

Scoring System:
We rate games on a scale of 1-5 Cool Points.  
1 = A game that is so bad you get carpal tunnel just looking at it.
2 = A below average game - nothing special unless there is a specific reason (nostalgia?)
3 = An average game that stands out and should get a rent and checked out

4 = An exceptional game that reminds you why gaming is fun

5
= A game you have to own or the Video Game God may smite you

Show Info:
