The HotSpot 07/14/2009

by Jonathan Downin in GamesJuly 14th, 2009 @ 3:55 pm

The HotSpotYou can always count on the HotSpot to make Tuesdays just a little bit better.  The announcement of Command & Conquer 4 is causing too much excitement.  Red Alert 3 didn’t set the world on fire and that was just released less than a year ago, so unless C&C4 is pretty innovative it may not do too well.

Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade initiative is covered here and the guys seem positive on this years releases.  Trials HD sounds like a very interesting game despite its clunky title.  Splosion Man also sounds like a ton of fun.  It sounds like a good lineup of smaller summer games.

The retractions/corrections section as always winner and this week is no different.  The HotSpot should win the award for offending the most nationalities of any gaming podcast it seems.

Covered games and topics: Battlefield 1943, review process, Wii Sports Resort, Command & Conquer 4, Mechwarrior reboot, system prices, analyst predictions, Summer of XBLA, Bioshock 2 delay, retractions/corrections, emails

Justin Calvert, Andre Segers, Tom Mc Shea, Chris Watters, and Brendan Sinclair storm Battlefield 1943, kick back with Wii Sports Resort, and look forward to another Summer of Arcade before discovering the awful truth about the BioShock 2 delay.

Runtime – 1:33:50
