Pokemon is out, Diner is back! We are tired of waiting for a code update from Stern! Lets get back to slinging burgers and fries!!!! What? Diner is back in the lineup, but Monaco is the game that was removed. Monaco was a rare classic EM game on loan from Anthony that was sold last week, but seriously Stern, where is our update?
