This episode covers some slightly older material, but material worth keeping around to discuss.
First on the table the group discusses Rockstar’s sandbox western Red Dead Redemption, Dead Space 2 and what made the initial entry a fresh breath of air in the vacuum of deep space, and go over some of the things that people just can’t stop talking about from this year’s Video Game Awards.
We make our opinions known concerning the huge spike in sales despite EEDAR making proclamations of the Wii ‘winning the console war’ (and why that proclamation wasn’t such an intelligent statement on their part), and why Apple being a possible contender in 2012 for video gaming is probably not going to happen the way many might think.
We cover two user blogs this episode:
TGM – Making Motion Controls Not Suck
TGM makes interesting points on how the Wii could have been a much better system, honing on its initial main selling point – the motion controls.
BlackHeartedWolf - Why Gaming Will Never Be Taken Seriously
BHW observes the rift in the gaming sub-culture between ‘casual’ and ‘hardcore’ gamers and how their behaviors serve to destroy the ‘scene’.
We finally wrap up with our impressions on the demos for Bayonetta and Dante’s Inferno.

With over 25 years of unabashed, unabridged, unbridled and in many respects – unprotected video gaming experience along with 4 plus years of recognized and highly respected citizen journalism. Shawn looks at things like a big exploded 3D cutaway and explores them from the inside out – past the superficial exteriors, trying to find how and what makes things tick, but more importantly – in an unapologetic manner.

I am looking forward to Batman Arkham Asylum 2 and all of you bring up very good points. I look forward to you next podcast!
OK, I didn’t realized it would keep going lol. So I am ging to add more to it. I would like to see an apple console but not if it is expensive like its Macs. I think naming gamers hardcore is lame. I almost died laughing at Katherine at the mention of Bayonetta. Last but not least, you guys did a very good job. See you in two weeks.
