Things kick-off with Lego Indiana Jones 2 which sounds like it is the best entry in the series yet, and actually has a rather innovative split-screen execution in multiplayer. Dragon Age continues to entertain, as does New Super Mario Bros.Wii.
The Left 4 Dead 2 discussion makes a comeback and the opinion here is that the game is quite difficult, but not so much as to diminish the fun. Talk of gaming on the road comes up with a couple of guys traveling a lot lately, and the consensus is that they are more likely to reach for the laptop over other forms of portable gaming.
The ever-present issue of the GWJ crew not being big fans of Japanese games is brought up again and not much has changed. Emails finish the cast with an interesting discussion at the end about the perceived reality of violence in games, and what language can do to skew perspectives on the issue.
Covered games and topics: Lego Indiana Jones 2, Dragon Age, Bayonetta, New Super Mario Bros.Wii, L4D2, gaming on the road, Japanese games, emails, reality/context of violence

It's worth noting that they probably paid so much attention to the whole Japanese games topic yet again because they caught a lot of flak from their community on the forums. Those guys are ruthless, seriously.
