Some serious love for BioShock 2 starts that discussion this week. The opinions fall on both sides, but the phrase ‘better than the first one’ is uttered several times. Dante’s Inferno doesn’t fair nearly as well with the guys labeling it as a complete direct rip of God of War. Sonic 4 doesn’t inspire much positivity either.

Xbox Live service for the original Xbox is coming to an end and the indifference it palpable. A PSP iteration of the forthcoming PS3 racer, ModNation Racers, has been announced and the crew worries about No More Heroes 2 sales. Before closing out with ESRB ratings theater and emails as usual, the guys take a look back at headlines from 10 years ago– you have come a long way games industry, good job.

Covered games and topics: BioShock 2, Dante’s Inferno, Sonic 4, original xbox live ending, ModNation Racers PSP, No More Heroes 2 sales, news from 10 years ago, ESRB ratings theater, emails

Shaun McInnis, Kevin VanOrd, Tom Mc Shea, and Brendan Sinclair return to Rapture with divergent takes on BioShock 2, then find common ground again thanks to Dante’s Inferno. Also, Sonic returns to his 2D roots, and Mature-rated games on the Wii suffer another setback.
