The crew start this Oddcast lamenting the strange way Battlefield 3 was announced this week (although it was actually announced previously). Metalocalypse: Dethgame, based on the cult cartoon series, has been cancelled. APB developer, Realtime Worlds, has unveiled Project: MyWorld, their answer to Google Earth. New Line Cinema have shifted gears on their Gears of War movie, lowering its budget and fitting in a love interest.
After the news, they talk about Cut It and Redder — two free games. The former is Crayon Physics creator Petri Purho’s latest physics puzzler. The latter is an explorative Metroid-like side-scroller that Tina isn’t too hot on.
Before getting into emails, they look at the response to and justify their picks for 1UP’s Games to Play Before You Die feature. Emailers this week ask for Sharkey’s least favorite customer (he used to run a games shop), games that enrage them, and real-time strategy recommendations.
Covered topics: Battlefield 3, Metalocalypse: Dethgame, Project: MyWorld, Gears of War movie, Cut It, Redder, Games to Play Before You Die.
The whole crew is reunited after a short absence from Chris. Battlefield 3 is announced in a shitty way, the Gears of War movie adaptation is delayed, the Crayon Physics guy has another food game, and we talk about our Games to Play Before You Die feature. And we close off with our q and a segment.
