Welcome to Show 075, our Best of 2011 episode! In this show our fabulous hosts talk about their 5 favorite achievements , top 5 XBLA/WP7 games, and top 5 Retail/Games On Demand products. They also chat about some Industry News, new XBLA releases, New Game Add-ons, Games on Demand releases, and some exciting new Demos. The show ends with some answers to questions posed by our listeners.
Note: There is no list of games discussed this week as it would spoil the fun of counting down the top 5. If there are any spoilers the hosts have made sure to bellow out “SPOILERS” (I think there is only 1).

Hello faithful listeners. This week those of us that bring you this fabulous show were stricken by a sudden debilitating phenomenon called… snow . This plague has daunted us for the past 5 days inflicting horrible trials such as, but not limited to, days without power, large amounts of time spent at home with our families, no free pop, and other trials too horrible to describe.
We have finally been able to persevere and trudge through the icy hell that is the Pacific Northwest and make it into work so that we can let you know that our podcast, Show 075, the “Best of the Year” show, has been delayed until next week. We apologize for this inconvenience and blame it fully on the snow .
