Hey Everybody, it's Monday Night Combat's Loveable Mascot, Bullseye! Kill Him. Kill Him Now!

HIGH As Captain Spark, leaping in at the last minute and preventing an enemy player from using the annihilator.

LOW Trying to play as the Gunslinger and being mostly useless.

WTF Staring in awe at the people that have figured out how to dominate everyone with Leo.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Uber Entertainment, the creators of Monday Night Combat, back in August before the game released. Now that some time has passed and the team has just released a major title update and some DLC, it seemed like the time was right to check back in and get the lowdown.

Game Description: Monday Night Combat is a class-based, third-person shooter … and the most popular lethal sport of the future! It blends intense combat, finishing moves, and gameshow-like challenges and rewards to produce an action experience unlike any other. Why fight for "honor" or "duty" when you can fight for the real American dream—cash, fame and endorsements?

We're Gonna Hack into the Turret Now!

HIGH: Hacking an enemy turret and watching it wreak havoc.

LOW: Hearing the same announcer line for the third time in two hours.

WTF: The Support's healing gun heals people and machines?

In what is likely to be the biggest, most unexpected surprise of the year (for me, anyway) GameCritics Podcast host @TimSpaeth finally convinced the rest of us to partake in a group play/discussion on 360's Too Human for an upcoming episode.

What was the surprising part? I actually liked it.

Microsoft's August 11th Summer of Arcade game is going to be Monday Night Combat from fledgling studio Uber Entertainment. A team-based shooter with some snazzy graphics and interesting ideas, I have a feeling it's going to do pretty well. While we're all still waiting to get our hands on full versions, the good people of Uber were gracious enough to invite me over to their studio for a sneak peek.
