The HotSpot is back after the holiday break and Bayonetta starts both the year’s big releases and the podcast discussion. The reception is pretty positive all around, but the story seems to fall into the realm of the unintelligible. Darksiders also gets a few kind words and seems to be shaping up to be more than a simple God of War clone.
Another entry to the Def Jam series is coming to the PSP, and Brendan Sinclair and Kevin VanOrd read from the script of the game in place of ESRB ratings theater. There are some great 1-liners here.
The guys touch on the social responsibility of gamers in the email section and the cast closes with some love for New Super Mario Bros.Wii. Also, look out for a special edition of The HotSpot with the guys discussing their Game of the Year, Demon’s Souls, on Thursday.
Covered games and topics: Bayonetta, Darksiders, Dark Void, Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover, social responsibility, NSMBW
Kevin VanOrd, Justin Calvert, Giancarlo Varanini, and Brendan Sinclair kick off the New Year with impressions of the week’s gruesome twosome of angelic beatdowns, THQ’s Darksiders and Platinum Games’ Bayonetta. Plus, a brief primer on street talk, courtesy of Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover on the PSP.
