A mixed bag of reactions for Tim Burton‘s take on Alice in Wonderland this week. Alex wonders if he is starting to dislike Burtons style after all these years but that being said he still really enjoyed the film. Jeff liked it but doesn’t seem too enthused by it. he seems slightly hung up on the fact it’s so different from the old Disney animated film which is his only Alice reference point. Dan confuses everyone by opening his review with a “joke”, the gist is that he isn’t sure he enjoys the Wonderland story and he disliked alot of the look of the movie especially it’s reliance on CGI.
Thoughts on Bad Company 2 are much more consistent, all three of the guys loved it. They all cite the single player as being alot of fun, not only from a gameplay perspective but also in terms of the narrative and dialogue. Dan was a big fan of the fact the game changes up the gameplay all the time, with many levels having a hook or gimmick unique to that stage. Not alot of talk about the multiplayer other than Alex exclaiming how awesome he thinks it is, specifically having the Battlefield multiplayer experience properly on a console.
The guys are extrememly excited about the announcement on Portal 2, they didn’t have many details to go on at the time of taping however. The fact it will feature co-op has Alex sold, Dan looks forward to perhaps having more enviroments outside of the labratory setting of the first game. Jeff hopes and suspects Valve will keep the portal gun as your only weapon, making you rely on your wits rather than your skill at shooting bad guys. Another twitter question segment rounds out the show.
Should you follow Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole? Does Battlefield Bad Company 2 out-Modern Warfare Call of Duty? What will Portal 2 entail? Plus, your twitter questions!
