Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing is up first this week and it sounds surprisingly interesting. If you don’t go in expecting Mario Kart quality, there may just be some fun HD kart racing to be had. Heavy Rain gets some discussion with both positive and negative views represented here with Tom arguing that you are forced in a certain direction too often.

The guys touch on DICE and share their opinions on Jay Mohr’s hosting prowess. The announcement of Civilization V gets a somewhat tepid response and Brian laments his constant defeat in the StarCraft 2 beta. As always, the fun picks up with ESRB ratings theater and the game titles mashup homework section yields some hilarious amalgamations.

Covered games and topics: Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing, Heavy Rain, DICE, CivilizationV, StarCraft 2, XBLA disappearances, free game with PSPgo, ESRB ratings theater, voicemails/emails, game title mashups

Tom Mc Shea and Lark Anderson swing by to talk Heavy Rain and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, then leave it to Justin Calvert, Tyler Winegarner, Brian Ekberg, and Brendan Sinclair to recap the latest news out of the DICE Summit, Civilization V, Starcraft II, free PSP Go games, and God Eater.

Runtime – 1:28:47
