The Game Show returns in 2025 after more than a decade with three hosts from the first run; BreakmanX (2002-2013), Jack Burt0n (2003 – 2005), and Maul (2006 – 2012) joined with fresh blood Logan and Darria as the crew add movies into the mix.

The Game Show had two events early on that gained much attention. First was the Penny Arcade interview in March, and then the Halo 2 interview in May of 2003. This was one of the very first Halo 2 interviews, and is unique for being live with listeners asking questions during the show. Featuring BreakmanX and his co-hosts Richie and ShadowmanX discussing various topics related to video games, particularly focusing on the upcoming release of Halo 2 and the recent E3 event in 2003.
