It's funny, because I knew I should have elaborated on that point at the time, but end up doing so. My fault, I guess. No, Sanchez more or less disparaged it without providing any reason why. Which is okay in itself - there are many people on many other podcasts that hate on games from <b>any</b> platform - not just the PlayStation 3 - for no apparent reason - it's just that I always expect a higher quality of thinking and analysis from 1UP, and Sanchez was the kink in the armor in that respect. It's not wrong to say that <b>critically</b> Uncharted 2 is accepted as the better game over Gears of War 2, but here we have this anomaly. I mean, she tried to compare (quality-wise) the train section in Gears of War 2 to the train section in Uncharted 2, much to the amusement of the rest of the cast of the show. I'll give credit to Sanchez for the fact that she never really attempted to hide the fact that she doesn't like the PlayStation 3 and anything associated with it. Heh.

It gave Sharkey a platform where he could fully express himself. Chris was great. The highlight for me was Sam. He's great on podcasts, has a breadth of knowledge, and is always great to listen to. I hope they come around to their senses and make him a regular on 4 Guys 1UP. That'll mean that they'll have to rotate Parish and Scooter in and out, but Parish already does a podcast every week so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. The only dead weight was Tina, who seems to laugh at everything, insists on calling soccer football, and only plays first-person shooters. The latter point is fine, but it just got irritating when she insisted on striking down every other genre of game (and particularly games on the PlayStation 3, surprise surprise). What made it bearable was the constant hazing she got from the other three for it. How can anyone be negative against Uncharted 2? She never failed to astonish me every episode. It was a good show.

I liked this podcast. Tina was always so lively and funny, Sharkey was amusingly snarky and Chris and Sam were good sports too. Shite. Damn it. I liked this podcast.
