It’s our third annual holiday special episode, Xboxmas! Curtis gives us a tour of some video games while Brian sits back and cracks wise. It wouldn’t be Xboxmas without the latest game in the Call of Duty series. Find out what happens when you combine a luxury yacht with well-armed soldiers in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Next we channel our inner super heroes with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Curtis then plays a game that was featured in the documentary, Indie Game. Fez is a puzzle/platform game with an 8-bit look. We round out our Xboxmasing with a weird ass game called Space Channel 5.

After all that, we draw the winners of our Xboxmas Giveaway. Congrats to all the winners. We’ll be contacting you soon to send you your prizes.

Thank you to all the podcasters who sent holiday greetings this year. Big ups to the guys at Flip The Table: Chris, Jared, Flip and Professor Laserbooks; Mike from What Some Would Call Lies; and Tim & James from Tastes Like Burning.

We hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season and the very best of the new year!

‘Tis the season for combat, ninjas, zombies and DJs! It’s our second annual holiday special episode, Xboxmas! This year, our special guest is a familiar voice. Mike joins us as Curtis gives us a tour of some favorite video games. First we return the land of combat with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Then Mike & Brian give the Kinect a try by chopping a lot of produce with Fruit Ninja. Next, Curtis tries to protect his house from invasion as he plays Plants Vs. Zombies. We round everything out with some hot jams from DJ Hero 2.

We also hear some holiday greetings from some of our podcasting friends who have been on the show this year. Big thanks to Secretly Timid, Pod is My CoPilot and Linoleum Knife.

Huge hat tip to Mike for joining us again. Be sure to check out his new podcast What Some Would Call Lies at whatsomewouldcalllies.com or iTunes.

Happy Xboxmas! For our holiday special we are joined by our pal Curtis as he gives us a tour of some favorite video games.
