It’s an alcohol fueled episode this week so expect some slurring and a bit more rambling than usual. Anthony played some Heavy Rain, he doesn’t want to spoil anything story related so the discussion is fairly vague, it certainly sounds like it could be as divisive as expected.
Most of the guys have played varying amounts of BioShock 2 and the feelings are mixed. Anthony thinks there are enough cool set pieces to make it worth checking out. But overriding feeling is that it just doesn’t and couldn’t live up to the first game. Matt has been playing a ton of MAG, while he is now higher level than Anthony he doesn’t actually sound like he’s enjoying the game.
The Bad Company 2 demo gets some more love, this time from Tyler. After hitting a few indy games it’s onto listener mail. After that it’s nothing but Mass Effect 2 spoiler talk so steer clear if you haven’t played the game yet.
Covered games and topics: Heavy Rain, Squad Commander, BioShock 2, MAG, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Matt Hazard: Blood bath and beyond, Exit, Trauma, Chime, listener mail
Matt and Ryan from Area5.tv join the regular crew to talk about an array of games we’ve been checking out. Highlights from the discussion include Heavy Rain, BioShock 2, as well as more than a few IGF games. After that we move onto a lengthy letters segment before concluding the “normal” show. However, for those who are interested (and more importantly have completed Mass Effect 2) there is an extended “Mass Effect 2 Spoilerthon” after the ending song. If you want to hear all about the varying ways we’ve played ME2, give it a listen. Enjoy!
