Two words: WRECKING BALL!

Kombo Breaker - Episode 19: Glenn Gamble of Terminal Reality and Ghostbusters
Episode 19, awesomeness. We got together this week and were able to lock in Glenn Gamble, Senior Artist for Terminal Reality, in order to chat it up about the dev team's work on the upcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game
. Listen up, everyone on planet Earth loves the Ghostbusters... you'd have to be absolutely nuts to disagree. With that said, you need to hit the link below and download this week's Kombo Breaker for some great discussion.
Glenn let Matt, our resident Ghostbusters fanatic, probe his mind hole for all sorts of specific information. Fans of the franchise should know, right off the bat, this game includes all sorts of neat stuff from the production of the flicks. We'll let you in on this one: Terminal Reality had access to, and included in the game, a ton of music recorded for the film but never used.
But wait, there's more! The team talked info from the week that happened. Brad went to a THQ event for Legends of Wrestlemania, Dan talks CoD: WaW, Matt talks Tomb Raider and Joey (that's me!) talks Halo Wars. Pretty much one of our favorite shows to date.
I do want to take a second out to thank the folks at Terminal Reality for committing over 3 years of their lives to such an incredible project. We here at Kombo couldn't be happier with the level of passion these folks bring to work everyday. Ghostbusters is in good hands, we promise.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 18: Gamehunters in the Wild!
Welcome back friends! Kombo Breaker continues this week with the 18th episode
behind us. You better believe it. As with the rest of our recent shows, we've managed to bring some guest action around. This time we've got the guys behind USA Today's latest endeavor into the gaming world, Mike Snider and Brett Molina. Mike and Brett formed Game Hunters, a blog dedicated to news, interviews and snippets of the industry. And it's so fresh it still has that wonderful new blog smell. We here at Kombo have to buy the silly, hangy, tree car thingies in order to get that smell. It's so......artificial.
They say they're "In search of video games and interactive awesomeness"... You be the judge. It's a great site with a solid tone and a fresh design. They've already snagged talks with Will Arnett and Neil Patrick Harris in their young 48 hours of operation. So get in there! GameHunters.USAToday.com.
On the standard fare side of things, we talk the upcoming remake of A Boy and His Blob, retro games for the PSP, why Dan's a jerk and we announce what's coming next week. Next week? Next week we've got Glenn Gamble, one of the guys from Terminal Reality. Terminal reality, of course, is the house that's building Ghostbusters. Nerd-out-city...

Kombo Breaker - Episode 17: The One with Garnett Lee
Another episode of Kombo Breaker is here, because it's Friday. Friday, if you haven't discovered this knowledge nugget by now, is Kombo Breaker day. We've been rolling sans hiatus for about two months now, so the backlog looks all pretty and concise.
But enough about us; how about this week's show? We were fortunate enough to fall face-first into a puddle of guests! since then it's been all sorts of discussion. And this week we had Garnett Lee, Executive Producer at 1UP.com. Don't know Garnett? Garnett writes for 1UP, but he also works specifically with a lot of the audio and video efforts for the site. His current shows include Listen UP and 1UP's Game Night.
With Garnett in our midst, we talked rice pilaf (gross), carrot cubes, the story of me (Joey) possibly selling my Wii (no, but don't get mad), the direction of gaming coverage, the gaming industry, print media and making a good show.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 16: John Davison Joins Us!
It's Friday and here we are again. We've been able to lock down two big name guests in as many weeks, and we hope that's a facet of the program that everyone's beginning to enjoy and believe in. I kid you not, Kombo Breaker isn't going anywhere. Next week's guest? Well, just a huge as this weeks. Stay tuned.
This week, we were lucky enough to have John Davison from Whattheyplay.com (formerly of the likes of 1up and EGM) come on and tell us what's for. We talked gaming journalism as a whole, the transition from print to online media and the current state of speaking to an audience of parents. We even found time to talk about our weeks, Killzone 2, Dan's Valentine's extravaganza at White Castle (I shit you not), and our thoughts on the DSi.
Make sure you pop into the forums to read our shownotes for this episode. And doubly make sure you check out Whattheyplay.com-- even as a non-parent, this site manages to deliver some of the most unbiased gaming content on the net. I promise, no Dateline NBC scare tactics within. It's straight legit, 2 legit to quit.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 15: Jeff Cannata and the NYCC
How goes it, tricks!? Another episode of Kombo Breaker on another Friday and you'd swear this thing is legitimate. It is, by the way, so don't go closing your media player when the boss comes by. This here is intelligent discussion!
What a show! What a week! If you folks haven't heard of Totally Rad Show (TRS for short) then it's time you get learned. Jeff Cannata, of the series, was kind enough to stop by and blow our minds with a high level of gaming discussion and concept. We talked Killzone 2, FEAR 2, love for the PS3 and a little discussion about the Wii's effect on the industry. Joey told everyone about a dog with herpes and then we talked about the New York Comic Con. The episode is packed with upcoming gaming content, so if you're wondering about the stuff ahead (The Conduit, Prototype, Battlefield 1943, Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, Fear 2, MadWorld, etc.), then I suggest you tune in.
We're trying to make guests a weekly-ish deal on the show, so stay with us and enjoy. Hit the forums for some show note action. You'll find points of discussion, trailers, links and maybe a few convos about the show.

Kombo Breaker - Episode 14: Bang Camaro Joins Us!
The show goes on. The regular cast is with us today, talking up everything from Resident Evil 5 to the NY Comic Con. We cut things slightly short to make room for our special interview with one of Rock Band's most prolific bands: Bang Camaro.
Bang Camaro's undeniable brand of 80's tinged metal has been a mainstay for the franchise and garnered them a strong following. On the heels of their latest album, Bang Camaro II, Bang Camaro's guitarists Bryn Bennett and Alex Necochea sat down and talked with us to let us know how the ride's been so far and where it's taking them in the future.
We're also going to be giving away some Bang Camaro goods. Want to know the details? You're going to have to check the show notes to find out! Details will be given in there, but don't miss this chance!
This is one episode of Kombo Breaker you don't want to miss.
