Heavy Rain continues to dominate the gaming podcast landscape, but the comments here are quite positive. Quantic Dreams latest seems to polarize opinions in a way that no other game has in recent months. Hilary says that “If people don’t buy games like Heavy Rain, games like Heavy Rain won’t be made.” This makes it clear that he is hoping that it does well sales wise.
Hilary also talks about Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and laments the demise of the re-envisioned Prince that we saw in the last game. The guys cover the latest Borderlands DLC and talk about the graphics of Halo Reach. Dragon Age is getting a full expansion in Awakening on March 16th and the $39.99 price is somewhat surprising to the crew. iPhone games, followed by a tame Knockin’ Boots segment, close the show.
Note: The episode page on IGN is currently unavailable, we will update this post when it come backonline.
Covered games and topics: Heavy Rain, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Borderlands, Halo Reach, Dragon Age, iPhone games, Knockin’ Boots, emails
