Game chatter this week takes Dave and Chris to the skies and beyond, as OXM Executive Editor Corey Cohen talks about the Kinect's high-flying entry in the Summer of Arcade, Wrecketeer, while Henry Gilbert of Gamesradar takes the conversation to space for some Dead Space 3 discussion. After a rousing game of DLX, Dave, Henry, and Corey say goodbye to the short-tenured, but much-loved KOXM co-host.

Personal note from Dave: I owe a great deal of gratitude to Chris for being a great friend and podcast mentor. Even though I was technically the host, he was instrumental in the show continuing. His guidance and hours of editing on most of our shared episodes kept the show going as I'm unsure that I would have been able to continue KOXM if he wasn't there to help. Thanks to what he taught me, I'm know I'll be able to keep going.

This week on KOXM, Dave and Chris welcome Executive Editor Corey Cohen on the show as they chat about dirty Achievement secrets, the Summer of Arcade and this week's reviews (including Dave's rant on review-haters). After that, we try out version two of our trivia homage to Doug Loves Movies' Leonard Maltin Game, and now you can win for taking part in it! Unfortunately, our attempt to bring back old talent isn't quite as refined as our robo-guest malfunctions on more than one occasion. Hopefully the real thing will be making an appearance sometime soon.
