Do you like to shoot things? We do! This week the crew engages in vigorous debate over two new run-and-gun games: Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ and Weapon of Choice. Find out if 2D shooters still have a place in a 3D world.

Plus, the premiere of our new segment "What Do You Think?" (complete with swanky echo effect) where YOU tell US what you think of Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage, and that...unique...control scheme in the Resident Evil 5 demo.

Nice show.

By Dale Weir on February 7, 2009 - 9:36pm.

Very nice show guys. Great exchange about the controls, Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ and Weapon of Choice.

I think you dropped the ball when Mike Bracken brought up the fact he was thinking about buying a Zune. Friends don't let friends buy Zune.

Thanks.

By Tim Spaeth on February 10, 2009 - 10:16am.

Thanks, Dale. We knew going in that we disagreed pretty strongly about a few of the games, and that brought a different energy to the show. One-sided debates aren't terribly interesting.

And I hope we aren't too late to save Mike from Zune Hell. I'm so sorry, friend.

Haha!

I just hate the Ipod. I had one for a day and took it back and got a Creative Zen Vision M. I like that player, but it's only 30 gigs. I'd like to have more room for all the crap I put on there.

Community Games

By Shane on February 12, 2009 - 7:23am.

It's bitter sweet to hear you guys talk about community games as I would love to try some of these titles, but unless you are from America, we miss out (well maybe other countries also).

Being in Australia we do not get netflix or community games. It's a real shame as some of these titles sounds fanastic. Great podcast anyway.

Wow

By Mike Bracken on February 12, 2009 - 10:50am.

Wow, I never realized the community games thing was limited based on country. That really sucks.

I can sort of understand it with NetFlix, but you'd think the games would be available to everyone.

Sorry guys, but the Zune has

Sorry guys, but the Zune has surpassed the Ipod by far at this point. =P

I have to be honest...I like the Zune's screen.
