This week’s DGR starts off with an anecdote from Hilden on the perils that fireworks impose on your wallet. The show then moves into the normal opening of Drunk Dials and emails…and I still can’t get over the mailbag theme.
Game reviews kick off this week with Slayer Pinball Rocks for the iPhone and iPad, which John loves, although Moe and Hilden have some reservations about game mechanics. Next up is Vampire Rage, an Xbox Community shmup that is given love all around and is only $1. Speaking of shooters, Sin and Punishment: Star Successor garners even higher praise from John and Hilden. Staying on the same track, Cave’s first American published game, Death Smiles, sounds like bullet hell heaven. Crackdown 2, however, fares far worse in the opinions of the DGR crew and sounds like more of the same, only contrived. The random retro review this week is Yoshi’s Story for the N64 and the guys seem to be split on whether the game is worth it.
With the multitude of games this week, the Feature Presentation segment is once again missing and things move right into Five Things. Discussions include Hulu, Playstation Plus, Neo Geo games, Fable 3, What’s on Tap and top picks. The Last Shot brings things to a close.
