This episode we cover Dead Rising 2, Civilization 5, Comic Jumper, and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue in new releases. We talk co-op in Splinter Cell: Conviction. Plus BJ beats Red Dead Redemption and is closing in on the end of Oblivion; the game, not a complete lack of anything.

Plus many more moments of hijinks, demos and value picks at the end.

Also, check out Geeks, Games and Grub (a newish site from a listener) and Gamers With Casts (because we don’t mention them enough).

NQcast16 – ‘Tom Clancy’s Similization’ Show Notes

First half!

  • Dead Rising 2 (Now we remember why people hated DR1)
  • Red Dead Redemption (BJ beat it, and count him in for zombies)
  • Civilization V (presented by Sid Meier, Will Wright, American McGee, Tom Clancy and 50 Cent)
  • Comic Jumper (Let’s just say Harlo liked it A LOT more than Maki did)
  • Splosion Man (Maki’s up to 3-2 on Hardcore. ‘Nuf said)
  • Halo Reach (Great packaging, not so great game. We bought the Misogyny Edition)
  • Tony Hawk Ride (Nope, Maki still doesn’t have it)
  • Sony Move (Why Harlo might get it!)
  • Microsoft Kinect (Why none of us will be getting it – and it’s not why you think)

Second Half! (58:00)

  • Borderlands: Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution (We want the patch!)
  • Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice (Good… But why pay for both L4D2 & L4D?)
  • Xbox 360 new dashboard (It’s like living in silence)
  • Splinter Cell Conviction (Co-op icing of dudes and tearing of MCLs = fun)
  • Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue (Yup, it’s more Deathspank)
  • Costume Quest (This sounds REALLY cool)

    • Sonic 4 (Um, 30 seconds?)
    • Force Unleashed 2 (Um, damn pretty?)
    • Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2 (Midair refueling? F YOU)
    • Lara Croft & The Guardian of Light (Smash TV + Puzzles + Co-op = Good!)
  • NBA Jam (Wii version officially worthless now?)

Value Game Picks! (1:51:39)
