With Grand Theft Auto 4 hitting stores this week, Broadcast Gamer becomes Radio BG for one week only! Outside of the theming, this episode is also packed with the features you expect: the mailbag, the weekly editorial, a preview of Age of Conan, news for the week, and a review of Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core contributed by Boric Phallico and Silrayne! Use your preferred podcatcher to download this week’s episode, or you can download it directly.

Update: There’s an issue with the Crisis Core review portion of this episode in which the vocal track repeats itself at the end. A corrected version of the episode will be available this evening.

This week’s show could be a few days late, folks. Sorry about that– the plan was to record everything tomorrow (Sunday), but unfortunately my monitor died this evening, and it’ll take me a few days to obtain a replacement.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll try to recreate my existing audio setup using this laptop instead of my workstation. If all goes well, the monitor issue shouldn’t affect this week’s release schedule– just in case, though…

It’s not quite the show you remember, but Broadcast Gamer is back with a slew of content– the latest news, a preview of Haze (PS3), reviews of Lost Odyssey and the latest album from The Black Mages, this week’s gaming deals and much more!
