The Bombcast again starts off this week on bigger name recent release with Vinny discussing his experience with Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. Talk of a recent press event that Vinny and Brad went to for Army of Two: The 40th Day then leads to a discussion on the merits of pre-order and pack-in bonuses, which all the guys seem to agree are largely a negative trend.  Afterwards, Jeff shares his excitement for DJ Hero, which seems to clear up his previous skepticism.

News starts off once again with talk of the Modern Warfare 2 PC server controversy, as well as leaked footage showing a new third-person mode for online play. Moving on to the upcoming XBL update, everyone seems to be a bit cold on it, and Jeff thinks the whole dashboard needs to be overhauled again. This topic is intermingled with the addition of Netflix on PS3 and the rumor of Blu-ray coming to 360.

An extended emails segment closes out the show with entertaining questions about sandwiches, tacos, and drinking contests. An email asking about site features leads to the announcement of another upcoming site design overhaul.

Covered games and topics: Ratchet and Clank, Army of Two, pools, DJ Hero, Torchlight, MW2, Netflix, media streaming, sandwiches, site design

It’s a show for the over-sophisticated and the under-sophisticated as we discuss trucks and villains in Uncharted 2, Prototype’s shelf life, the bitter gift of Demon’s Souls, Modern Warfare on the Moon, Xbox Experience 3.0, deep-fried sandwiches, and so much more!
