This weeks gaming podcast, we’re flashing back to Bikini Karate Babes. We’re looking at the history of David Crane, or trying to get through it while getting distracted by a bunch of banter. The gaming news this week includes:

• Sony’s Motion controller due out this fall
• Pandemic and Ensemble Studios take blame for closures
• Sony losing another exclusive developer, possibly (rumor)
• More DS 2 rumors surface

This weeks question of the week is pretty simple: What game from your childhood do you recall loving the most–life changing. Don’t go watch any video’s, take it from your memory.

There are some gaming flashbacks I look to do and I’ve got to go back and watch the video. Sometimes, however, they’re games I’ve never played and hit up youtube to see what I can find. This video review (or introduction rather) to Bikini Karate Babe’s really describes all the action. Unfortunately, many folks that read this may not speak German.

That’s okay! The video is worth a thousand words. Things to note, the guys say something to the fact that the video trailer (shown in the beginning) is “EXACTLY” like the game (being completely sarcastic). Anyone want to confess to being a Bikini Karate Babe addict?
