This episode we get a bit naughty with Naughty Bear, escape Yakuza on an office chair in Kung Fu Rider, continue to wreak havoc with a dick tornado and plenty more. There’s driving, enslavement, riding, running, climbing and jumping on eggs. It’s so random you’ll have to read the show notes to make sense of it all!

NQcast27 – ‘Naughty’ Show Notes

First half!

NCAA 12 (Apparently you have to play high school football. In a college game. Or something!)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Come for the cutscenes… Stay for the cutscenes!)
Split/Second (Maki is almost done with this game! We promise! Now somebody give us a spiritual sequel!)
Burnout Revenge (Maki is done with this game! All Perfects! Honest!)
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (Chuck kinda likes this non-co-op game made entirely of escort missions. Sweet!)
Naughty Bear (Harlo breaks out his best british accent for this insane cross of Sneak King, Manhunt, teddy bears and a Peter Molyneux fever dream.)
Kung Fu Rider (Maki takes a trip to Infinite Mountain in this insane Tony Hawk/Crazy Taxi/Kung fu fever dream for PS3 Move. How did this never appear on the Dreamcast?)
Deadly Premonition (Maki enjoys it more than Harlo, but the graphics hurt his eyes, Zack.)
Super Mario Bros. 2 (BJ goes old school and plays the All-Stars version on a SNES. And loves it!)
Remakes vs Re-releases (Ed asks us which we prefer, and we answer! Sprites, polygons, framerates, local co-op, sports games and Megamania are discussed.)

Second Half! (1:04:32)

Tornado Outbreak (Maki does not follow Chuck’s advice and picks up this game. And loves it!)
Beautiful Katamari (Tornado Damacy leads Maki to play the 360 Katamari game. It’s the worst Katamari game, but leads to talk of Katamari theme songs in every version. Check below for some of those songs discussed!)
Conan (Harlo is inspired by the bloodlust of the new Conan movie.)
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (Maki hates sliding puzzles but gets weirded out by the way the story is resolved…)
Chrono Trigger (Maki experiences the joy of this classic JRPG, including checkpoints and Dude Collectin’.)
Red Dead Redemption (Tomahawks, Explosive Rifles and multiplayer Buffalo riding! This game still rules!)
Demolition!
- Toy Soldiers Cold War (It’s like the Strike series from the Genesis days. Unlockable Rambo rules!)
- Fruit Ninja Kinect (A reason to use your Kinect, kinda! Wait until Gunstringer if you really want it.)
- The Gunstringer (We know Twisted Pixel has the fun storyline stuff down, but can they bring the gameplay?)
- Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition (Even Maki is not hardcore enough into fighting games to play this.)
- El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (It’s kind of a JRPG and its style looks terrible! Count Harlo out.)
- Catherine (Goats, pizza boxes, boxers, block puzzles, texting. What in god’s name did we play?)
- Warhammer 40k Space Marine (Tobias recommends this ridiculously violent Gears type game, that will sadly get crushed by Gears 3.)
- Driver: San Francisco (Chuck and Harlo try the single player demo and really aren’t satisfied by the driving. In a game called Driver! The story feels crazy enough, though.)
- Bodycount (Nobody even lasts 5 minutes in this demo, despite having exploding bullets!)

Listener topics! (2:07:22)

Blueshoes asks, if you were a character in Mortal Kombat, what would be your fatality? (We will leave you to listen to our answers to this. Spoiler: Harlo has no less than 3 of them.)
Moonpir asks multiple questions:
- Worst Save file loss? (Harlo wins, though BJ’s sucks pretty bad.)
- Proudest Achievement? (Learning to read wins, though Maki has a few others. Rock Band features prominently.)
- Most enthralled we’ve ever been by a game? (Good times abound.)
- Do we rent games? (Short answer? No.)

Value Picks! (2:22:59)

Naughty Bear (Harlo says it’s stupid and weird and worth it for less than $20.)
Army of Two (BJ decides to gun pimp for less than $10. Avoid the DLC that no longer works!)
Tornado Outbreak (Maki thumbs it in Chuck’s face for not liking it!)
Conan (Chuck enjoys mindless murdering and Conanery and boobs. Worth a few bucks!)
