Barrel Roll! #121 - “Ghostventures”
Just because you’ve left this mortal coil doesn’t mean you have to stop having adventures. OK, maybe they won’t be regular adventures anymore. Maybe they will be something more, something intangible, something spooky. That’s right folks, we’re talking about ghostventures (but probably just video games).
After an in-depth discussion of the new games dropping this week, Jonah, Jesse, Adam & Adam talk about what they’ve been playing this week. Jesse and Jonah give differing opinions on Child of Eden, while Jonah gives the run down on the Dungeon Siege III demo. More old Game Boy games were played by the guys thanks to the 3DS Virtual Console, so there is talk as to why everyone should buy both Donkey Kong (AKA Donkey Kong ’94) and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Adam Anania fills us in on his further adventures with GO Series Picdun and Milecki brings us up to speed on the latest Captain Jameson updates.
All this and a whole lot more on Barrel Roll! #121, “Ghostventures”.

Granted the first model, with its blurry green and puke colored screen, was a tough one to enjoy games on (but we all did nonetheless).

With the May release of the Virtual Console on the 3DS, we are hoping to get a good variety of titles from the Game Boy’s back catalog. Here are a few of the games I want, nay, crave to sink my teeth into once again.
