Welcome to Season Six of The 1UP Show! We didn't have one second of downtime during our two weeks off (evidenced by the two episodes of Not The 1UP Show!). We've been prepping and priming for this super summer that starts now.

In Japan, Shane Bettenhausen and James Mielke were on the ground at Square Enix Party 2007, to see approximately a million games seemingly (somehow) all developed by Tetsuya Nomura.

Our brave, world-hopping James Mielke returns from a dangerous mission into the heart of Korea with footage from the madness that was the StarCraft 2 announcement.

We've got something to suit just about any gaming taste in this week's episode of The 1UP Show. First up, our review of Xbox 360's uber-slick and hyper-real racing sim, Forza 2, by our resident wheel-jockeys John Davison, Garnett Lee, and Demian Linn.

We visited CEO and Creative Director Ken Levine and his crack team of space geniuses at Irrational Games in Boston to get some quality time with their first-person action-horror game, Bioshock

It doesn't matter if you're a high and mighty Scarab Lord, a lowly level 12 Nelf Hunter, or if you don't play World of WarCraft at all -- you'll want to take a look at our candid chat with the minds behind the incredible force of gaming that is WoW.

Blizzard Roundtable, a trip to the Nintendo Museum and Broken Pixels.

Pac-mania has struck Ziff Towers. We've all gone mad for a certain little yellow pill-popper. Just what is it about Xbox Live Arcade's Pac-Man Championship Edition that has us back in jelly bracelets and acid-wash? We try to explain...

The Simcity Societies Special

It's Friday, are you ready for The 1UP Show? We're managing our way through these summer gaming doldrums with a few games that might not be Halo 3, but are still worth looking at.

The Summer doldrums are coming to an end as E3 bears down on us like a blustery, banana-filled monkey circus. After last week's nigh all PC blitz we run to the low end of the resolution with three Nintendo-specific titles.

Stranglehold, Super Stardust HD, and Army of Two

We've all got our theories on what this E3 week will bring. But you know what they say: Theories are like buttholes-some of them are worth more than others.

Step up on to the stage of history with our resident Soul Calibur experts -- Ryan O'Donnell, Shane Bettenhausen, and James Mielke. They're ready to talk to us about their recent trip to Japan

By now, Gears of War fans have heard that the third-person shooter is heading for PCs. We know you have many of the same questions we do.

Day one of E3 2007 is in the books. Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony did their level bests to wow all of us...so who came out on top?

It's the evening of day two at E3 2007, and Mark MacDonald grabs Jeremy Parish and Shane Bettenhausen to discuss such important topics as Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Jeremy played a whole hour), and building your own LittleBigPlanet.

Is it over? Is E3 really over? Just about -- but just before they turned off the final monitor and wrapped up the last controller cord.
