First half!
- Borderlands 2 (We kinda like it.)
- Tokyo Jungle (Jump to 43:53 to hear us talk about this INSANE old-school throwback roguelike animal survival game on PS3. Pomeranians!)
Second Half! (58:09)
- Fire Pro Wrestling (Chuck unlocks avatar awards and fights Wrestling Bagg in this XBLA title!)
- Paying for DLC crap (We rant and rave for a bit about the price of NBA player bling as stat-boosting DLC, real-world money auctions in Diablo 3 and Xbox’s Chain Reaction sales.)
- Starhawk (Harlo dives into the single-player campaign, thanks to PSPlus. Mech mode and Jet mode mean FUCK YES THIS GAME.)
- Jet Set Radio HD (Maki revisits his Dreamcast past and is reminded of how relentlessly hard video games used to be.)
- The Splatters (“Like a colorful Incredible Machine.” Chuck likes this puzzle game where you play a sentient puddle of paint!)
- Avengers Battle For Earth demo (Harlo gives his Kinect a workout with this terrible fighting game demo!)
