Rebel FM Episode 40 – 111209

7:47 am
November 13th, 2009

Rebel FMArthur’s news of landing a job with Team Xbox starts the cast, and his first order of business will be writing the review for Assassin’s Creed 2. Dragon Age takes the limelight before Tyler touches on Captain Forever again after last week’s discussion of the free online game. The guys get into Modern Warfare 2, and Arthur has a few things to say about the now infamous airport scene.

Anthony talks about the Civ-like Europa Universalis and things stay in the realm of strategy games with the recent Dawn of War II expansion. Anthony has finally gotten into Fallout 3 with the release of the Game of the Year edition, and he also had a chance to check out the multiplayer of Skate 3.

The topic this week centers around platforms and why the guys choose to play a certain game on a certain platform. More often than not, controller preferences play a big part in the decision making process, but Xbox achievements creep in as a motivation as well. This is always a hot-button issue and the choices made here, along with Arthur’s new place of employ, will only stoke the fires of those who feel the guys lean one way over the other.

Covered games and topics: Arthur’s new job, Dragon Age, Captain Forever, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare Reflex, Europa Universalis, Dawn of War 2 expansion, Fallout 3, Skate 3, why you choose certain platforms, NSMBW, emails

Greetings! This week we talk about Europa Universalis, MW2, the upcoming Dawn of War 2 expansion and more, then move on to our second segment covering why you buy your games on the platforms you choose. Then we close out with letters.

    What a surprise the X-box fanboy on a X-box only site. Hopefully he will have a lot of work to do, so they have to replace him with someone else. Maybe then I will start listening again.

    If you just want Anthony, the Gamespy Debriefings would be great for you. Also, Tyler is on Co-Op fairly often at this point, so you could get him there.

      Thx, for the tip. I will give the Gamespy Debriefings a try. Co-Op is already a must for me with or without Tyler ;-)
