Brad is back this week so the Bombcast crew is back to full strength. After a quick tale of Jeff’s weekend hijinks, Vinny discusses his ongoing gameplay saga with Dragon Age: Origins which has been sucking up much of his time. Jeff spent most of his weekend playing PixelJunk Shooter for review, which he has a few gripes about but feels overall it is a fun experience.

While he was out, Brad was given the task of reviewing the new Avatar game which then leads into a lengthy discussion of the probable quality or lack thereof in the upcoming James Cameron movie.  He also goes into his experiences with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories which seem to go along with the promotion of a vastly varied experience depending on your actions. Much of Ryan’s time has been taken up by finally playing Red Faction: Guerrilla for game of the year considerations. He’s also been loving his preview build of Heavy Rain and gets into what he can for now.

A long conversation about the Spike VGA trailer reveals starts off news with a lot of excitement among the crew sprinkled with a few questions. Everyone seems a little down on the recently announcement of Green Day: Rock Band and wonder how they will justify the package. Sparse new releases and emails round out the show.

Covered games and topics: Dragon Age, PixelJunk: Shooter, Silent Hill, Red Faction, Heavy Rain, Spike, Nolan North, Green Day, Borderlands

It’s nothing but drunk Santas, MKII arcade machines, fluid dynamics, James Cameron’s Avatar, Swedish cowboys, Akham Asylum Too, the limits of Drew’s Halo knowledge, and Game of the Year preparations in this week’s Bombcast!
