It's back—we're doing another Game Club for Episode 120 (out Feb. 9), this time on Rare's Nintendo 64 platformer, Banjo-Kazooie. Initially known by the codename "Dream," this game copped a lot of Mario 64's style, and whether or not it holds up as well as Mario 64 does to the test of time is up for debate. It was recently re-released for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, and it can be yours for 1200 Microsoft space bucks ($15, but who's counting?).

And we'd be remiss if we didn't point to a YouTube video of the amazing intro to the game...

Get your stories/comments/memories of this game post to the blog/forum/email or voicemail (713-893-8069) by Friday, February 6. We'll be talking about the game in Episode #120.
