Welcome to Episode 45 of Operation Retroshock! It's Wrestlemania Season once again! Last year you were taken on fantastic trip through everyone's favourite Wrestlemania memories, courtesy of ourselves and the guys over at The Total Wrestling Show. This year things are a wee bit different. Instead of 5 people on the show you have 1, yes this is another solo episode folks and your host is our very own Allan. Not to worry though, there is plenty to be discussed and....well Allan is known for rambling! First on the agenda is the WWE Hall of Fame, your host has a look at who the WWE has awarded its greatest honour to this year. With the likes of Edge, Ron Simmons and The Four Horsemen on the list it's sure to be a winner. Allan then takes you through this year's Wrestlemania matches, going from the match he is least interested in, right up to the one he is most excited by and of course along the way he will make predictions for this year's show! We will also have Chris' picks on hand. So which host will come out with the big 'W' this year? In our First ever 'Mania Special it was a tie, last year Allan was victorious...So could this be Chris' year? You will have to listen and then watch Wrestlemania to find out! So sit back, grab your Lite-Brite Jacket, your Shades or even a can of Pepsi.....turn that son bi..... sideways and enjoy the fun that is Wrestlemania! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be a part of the show by contacting us in a number of ways: Join our Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/OperationRetroshock and Twitter: @Retroshock316 these places are where you can discuss anything that happens on the show and request things for the future!

ORS Reviews - Episode 8

Welcome to Episode 8 of ORS Reviews! In this Episode Allan and Chris decided with it being just over a week until the launch of the sure fire Game of the Year contender, Mass Effect 3 that they would  take a look back at Mass Effect 1 (Xbox 360 and PC) then Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.) They go through the back-story to the games, their opinion of the role-playing/combat and just their own personal feelings regarding the franchise. Not only that but with the Mass Effect 3 Demo being out already the guys are able to give you their early thoughts on just how the game stacks up from what they have played, be it the Single Player or the new addition in Multi-Player. Enjoy! (Make sure to watch out for a full review of Mass Effect 3 in a future edition of ORS Reviews.)
