Garnett returns from Captivate fired up to confirm the weekend with Brian, Jeff, and Billy. He brings a healthy helping of Capcom to Whatcha Been Playin? with Dead Rising 2 co-op, Okamiden, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. But that's in the second part because Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri kick the show off in prime form. In a rematch, the contest format returns for Four Minutes to Get Drunk With Power but this time without the scoring with topics form whether it's too late for Gran Turismo 5 to the impact of making games easier in the name of accessibility. It all wraps up in the Front Page with news of a Little Big Planet sequel, new TV on your console rumblings, and more.

      Garnett - how does Super Mario Galaxy 2 compare to the most recent Rachet & Clank? I recall you having some "static" with Shane back in 2007 over the original SMG vs R&C.

          If it jogs your memory, Crispin and Seanbaby were sitting in (Nov 2007).

          Shane was effusive in his praise of SMG, and you said something to the effect of 'tell us something more than these great superlatives: you sound like the back of the box!' Shane replied, 'Rachet and Clank, you hear all the hooplah, yeah, I like Rachet &Clank, but playing SMG, it's like oh yeah, *this* is how to do a platformer.' You seemed to strongly disagree with this, at least in the degree Shane said SMG was superior to Ratchet and Clank.

          So I'm wondering about the "2010 update" comparison between the two series.

          Great show, Mr. Lee!

          I know you've always been 'meh' with LittleBigPlanet, but do you think there is a possibility that LittleBigPlanet 2 will have a chance of be a huge downloadable title that will retro actively work with the first LBP? Something like, you have access to all the previous content, and are able to use it in the new game? I would love if I could pop in my game of LBP, go to the LBP store, download a huge LBP 2 file, and have a seamless experience instead of having to go and buy a 60 dollar disc.
