Phil can’t quite bring himself to keep playing BioShock 2 but he along with Greg Ford have been playing The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom. Both of them are finding the style of the game very charming and really like the time manipulation mechanics. Phil also picked up an iPhone game you probably won’t hear about on any other podcast, Transformers G1 Awakening. It’s similar to advance wars and he is quite impressed with it, Greg Sewart is convinced enough to buy and download it on the show.

Greg Ford had a craving for some 16 bit gaming so he booted up Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection. A power cut that delayed the recording of the show gave Greg Sewart time to finish off playing Bowser’s Inside Story, while he got hooked by the end sequence he doesn’t think the game is as good as the first two.

Greg Sewart is almost entirely positive in talking about Heavy Rain, the permutations in the story have him very impressed. A scene involving a father losing his child really effected Greg, a father himself. He admits that may just be because he is a father but all the same it’s one of the biggest emotional reactions he has had playing a game. An especially funny episode of the show this week, with everyone joking around throughout the game discussions.
