Crossovers! The VGH crew stitch together elements from some of their favorite video games into a twisted new batch of franken-games. Developers: are you listening? Plus: D.J. gets bionic, Paul finds a sneaker sleeper, and Randy looks for the fun button.

Get hype! As the Summer drought comes to an end, the VGH crew looks into the back half of 2011 for that one game (or two, or three) that seems most worthy of our hard-earned burrito money.

A huge enemy is approaching fast! This week, the VGH crew takes on boss battles: Do they still have a place in modern gaming or are they relics of an almost-forgotten age? We’ve also got groovy coasters, bordered lands, and secondhand shooters. I hit it with my axe!

With only 10 minutes on the clock, the VGH team will weigh in on two recent gaming headlines: The demise of the Red Faction series and the big Nintendo 3DS price drop. We’ve also got Viewer Mail, the Hangover, Last Call, and lightsabers. Time’s up!
