This week we've got Lara Croft versus Lara Croft with a side-by-side comparison of Tomb Raider: Anniversary and the original Tomb Raider! We also tear up the turns with DiRT, sneak our way through Tenchu Z, take a tour of the new Gears of War multiplayer maps, and fire up the long-awaited action game The Red Star. We welcome artist Brandon Bird to the studio to discuss his thoughts on video games, art, and, of course, Jerry Orbach.

Three mashers enter. No one leaves. Blaster Master may not run Barter Town, but will it turn the lights out on these three contestants?
