Facebook games start off the cast and not surprisingly, they are discounted as “not games.” A new Medal of Honor title is on the way from some of the original Call of Duty team and the crew is excited about a potential challenge to the reining leader in modern FPS war games.
The Prince of Persia re-reboot gets a mention and Daemon is excited about a true sequel to Puzzle Quest. Pets are now available in the Xbox Live Marketplace, and it is baffling that Nintendo hasn’t tread this turf already. Who can say no to a virtual pet?
New Super Mario Bros.Wii and the DSi XL get some discussion before things turn to the difficult to understand PSN trophy progression system. The Knockin’ Boots segment leads into emails, which finish the episode.
Note: IGN’s search function is completely useless, so no links on this one.
Covered games and topics: Facebook games and Zynga, Medal of Honor, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, new Puzzle Quest, pets on Xbox Live, NSMBW, DSi LL, PSN progresion, knockin’ boots, HDTVs, emails, good kid DS games
