by Derek Lavigne in GamesNovember 18th, 2009 @ 3:16 am

Giant BombcastThis week’s first segment is taken up by tales of big name games as the release season finally begins to come to a close. Vinny has been trying to play more Dragon Age, but says that his PC can’t keep up. Jeff’s weekend was filled with New Super Mario Bros. Wii which to him, is a little too much of the same. He also shares some feelings on Super Street Fighter IV now that embargoes are up.  Brad’s time has been taken up by Left 4 Dead 2, which he says is everything the first came could have been. Ryan then goes into a lengthy discussion about his experience with Assassin’s Creed 2 while dancing around questions from the other guys that may reveal key story elements.

News is filled up with mostly Modern Warfare 2 news, starting out with the story of PC gamers finding a way to have dedicated servers. They then move into word from Activision that they intend on charging for future online games. News of ad-hoc party coming to the US for the PSP leaves the guys perplexed as to who exactly will be using it.  Rumors of sequels/spin-offs also abound with Ghost from Modern Warfare and Bully 2.

The last big week of new releases and emails close out the show as always.
