Player One Podcast

While every other podcast is dedicating hours to discussing Mass Effect 2 Player One is a Mass Effect 2 free zone, save the first 3 minutes of talking about not talking about the game. Being the resident Apple fanboy CJ is already in line to buy the iPad. While he’s mildly disappointed it’s not much more than a bigger iPod touch he says that’s enough to warrant a purchase.

Phil picked up Tasunoko vs Capcom and has been playing through it to unlock characters, a practice no one is a fan of. He is really enjoying the somewhat crazy nature of the game although he’s not sure who it’s even for because the Tatsunoko side is so niche in the west.

A listener tweet asks the guys to describe one good thing about an otherwise crappy game, leading to some interesting stories. A similarly themed question asks what games everyone played for a while before realising they hated it. The show outros on a meta note as Greg Sewart berates CJ for forgetting the outro music on last weeks show, while no music plays yet again.

Covered games and topics: not Mass Effect 2, iPad, Tatsonoku vs Capcom, Madden 10, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Spelunky, .hack, Wolfenstein RPG, listener tweets
