Ryan is out sick this week, but they still make him call-in for the podcast– poor Ryan. Word of Dante’s Inferno getting a special edition on PS3 has Chris wondering if it isn’t to entice the God of War crowd. EA’s John Riccitiello was caught calling the PS3 motion controller “Gem” recently, and the guys don’t like the name.

PS3 firmware 3.15 is out and it introduces a new content transfer system that allows users to transfer all their data and games from an old PS3 to a new one. Maybe more exciting is the new abilities to play PSP minis on the PS3.

Yakuza 3 is coming State-side in March, Dead Space 2 has been announced and Chris is loving Pixel Junk Shooter. A special 1 minute per answer twitter question segment finishes the show. Oh and check out IGN.com– looking snazzy!

Covered games and topics: Dante’s Inferno SE vs. God of War, Gem?, Firmware 3.15, Yakuza 3, Dead Space 2, Pixel Junk Shooter, 1 minutes questions

Nooooooooooooooo! Ryan Clements is sick, so he has to call into this week’s amazing episode of Podcast Beyond. With Ryan all the way on the other side of a phone, will Roper, Greg, and Colin take advantage of him and play a “mute” button prank? The answer is “yes,” but the podcasting crew also talks about the possible name for Sony’s motion controller, PixelJunk Shooter, and a whole bunch of random fan questions. Can you believe this is free?!
