Assassins Creed 2’s first bit of DLC was released this week, guest Ryan O’Donnell and Arthur have both been playing it. While they agree it’s disappointing they both recommend picking it up because the low price for more Assassins Creed 2 content seems like a no-brainer. Arthur briefly touches on Dante’s Inferno, he is not sure of his feelings on it yet but hopes to talk about it more next week.

Arthur played some of the 360 demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2, he says there is a definite learning curve when it comes to the controls but once you get over that it’s pretty much a Battefield game. On a similar note Anthony is playing MAG for review, while he has only played a few hours at this point he is enjoying it and sees some potential, although it is flawed.

Anthony tells some more tales from Company of Heroes, Eastern Front, a mod Anthony has been anticipating was just released. It is currently unbalanced but Anthony enjoys it for the novelty if nothing else because the mod is so well made that it’s very impressive to see.

Note: Once the regular sections of the show are over there is another hour exclusively dedicated to Mass Effect 2. It is recommended you have played some of the game before listening if you are wary of any spoilers.

Covered games and topics: Assassins Creed 2 Battle of Forli, Leave Home, Darksiders, Dante’s Inferno, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, MAG, Company of Heroes, listener mail, Mass Effect 2

[feigned enthusiasm] Greetings human, and welcome to episode 49 of Rebel FM. [going through the motions]This week we’re joined by Area5’s Ryan O’Donnell and Jay Frechette as we talk about MAG, the Assassin’s Creed II DLC, Darksiders, and more, then follow that up with letters. [barely conained excitement] Then we have a final section devoted entirely to Mass Effect 2, which has been set after the rest of the show so as to be easily avoided. We don’t give any hardcore plot spoilers, but we do talk about the game and make veiled references to events in Mass Effect 2 for over an hour. We had a lot of fun and hope you enjoy it.
