I have to confess to being partial to Westerns. I like them, the books, movies, I like them a lot and yes, sometimes I stand in front of the mirror with a poncho and a black hat on snarling at my self, daring myself to 'make a move'.

From the sound of things Transformers Revenge of The Fallen could have been number one if I’d had a chance to play it.

Those of you that know me know that EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 is one of my all-time favourite games. It was incredibly fun, with just the right amount of depth to it. It was short enough for me to complete and long enough for me to feel like I really got my money's worth. From memory it's the only game that I have 1000 out of 1000 Achievement Points. But never once did it occur to me to mind that there were issues with the game's physics, until now.

Video after the jump.

In these release starved periods of gamer existence, when all the good games are perpetually a month away, Spare Change is here with advice on how to exchange money for goods and services. Of course you could catch up on all those games you bought that you haven’t played at. But secretly you just like spending money right?

This week we mix things up a bit with Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness.
