The HotSpotIf you are looking for Modern Warfare 2 discussion, you will have to wait. Since there is a lot to cover on MW2, the GameSpot guys are going to be releasing a special, spoiler-filled podcast completely dedicated to the game on Thursday.

Since Lark got his hands on an import copy, Bayonetta is up first this week. He doesn’t provide too much insight outside of what is already known, but there are a few minor details. Some of the guys have seen the Prince of Persia trailer and this leads into a discussion about Jake Gyllenhaal and other game/comic-related movies.

No Doubt is upset about how their likenesses are being used in Guitar Hero 5 and Activision is quickly burning bridges with the music industry with their handling of the situation. Halo gets a lot of attention with the recent leak of Halo Reach screenshots and the launch of the Halo Waypoint hub on Xbox Live. This culminates in a discussion about the nature of Halo’s design and what that means about future installments’ graphics before the show closes with emails and homework.

Covered games and topics: Bayonetta, WoW out of China, Prince of Persia, No Doubt and Guitar Hero, new IP and new Assassin’s Creed in 2010, Ubisoft, Halo Reach, Halo Waypoint, Sony blind disability lawsuit, ESRB theater, corrections, voice/emails, homework

Ricardo Torres, Lark Anderson, Tom Mc Shea, and Brendan Sinclair offer a piercing perspective on Bayonetta, ponder the possibilities of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Prince of Persia, and pick apart the potential for Captain America and Thor games.

Runtime – 1:19:24
