This episode we talk God of War 3. Why are you listening to this instead of eviscerating people? Then we compare it to Dante’s Inferno, talk a little Red Faction: Guerrilla and Aliens Vs Predator (IE not Dirt 2). Plus our fastest Borderlands speed round. It’s a bloody good first half.
After the break we talk Diablo 2 patches (STILL!), Xbox 360 storage options, the Nintendo 3DS/DSi XL and old school Playstation 1 and Dreamcast gaming. Then we wrap up with our Value Game Picks.
NQcast08 – ‘Son of Kratos’ Show Notes
First half!
- God of War III (It’s awesome, but you knew that already. We kind of compare it to everything. Also, Harlo drops an awesome voice actor spoiler!)
- Star Wars games (will we ever see another good one that follows the original trilogy’s story?)
- Ico (somehow this is related to God of War 3… And the movie Nell!?)
- Dante’s Inferno: Dark Forest DLC (Not evenly remotely worth the $5. Unless you’re an achievement whore. And even then no.)
- Aliens Vs Predator (we lose a Dirt 2 but gain an AvP… And Maki is glad he only paid $10 for it!)
- Borderlands (Speed round returns: we refine our Crawmerax techniques and we ask for Claptrap action figures)
- Red Faction: Guerilla (BJ loves destroying things in this open-world terrorist simulator)
- Just Cause 2 (or how a demo can completely sell all of us on buying a $60 game)
Second Half! (50:09)
- Diablo 2 (They patched it? Seriously? JUST PUT OUT DIABLO 3 ALREADY)
- Titan Quest (Diablo 2.5… In Greece!)
- Nintendo 3DS (We avoid Virtual Boy jokes! Seriously!)
- Jurassic Park Warpath (Maki’s “retired video game samurai” girlfriend gets the PS1 hooked up, ass-kicking ensues)
- Tekken 3 (Yoshimitsu remains awesome, especially when he imitates Harry Carey)
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater (The framerate sucks and it looks awful now, yet it’s still AWESOME)
- NES systems (somebody send us a top-loading dogbone controller model! Please!)
- Sega Dreamcast! (So many amazing games and we pine for the VMU to return in one form or another)
- 250 gig Xbox 360 hard drive (Still a ripoff, but less of a ripoff)
- USB storage on Xbox 360 (It’s been nice knowing MU)
- Playstation Move (We like the commercial…)
Value Game Picks! (1:16:06)
- Grand Theft Auto 4 (BJ likes stealing cars and bowling with cousins)
- God of War Collection (Harlo says play GoW1 & 2 before eviscerating dudes in GoW3)
- The Simpsons Game (Maki says it’s like Psychonauts but not as good. At least it has a Futurama level!)
