A full year of Shotgun is in the books! This is our anniversary spectacular show, with an under the weather Jim and a shorter show than normal. Hey, at least we talk about Twisted Metal and Battlefield Bad Company 2. Did you know you can win a copy of Battlefield BC2 Limited Edition just by listening to this show? Well, you can. Awesome.
This week on shotgun we have the return of the often imitated but never replicated Ruumis! Our prodigal son sits in while Pwnophobia is on another vision quest learning the secrets of Modern Warfare 2 from the owl spirit.
We field a bunch of your voice mails and emails and chat some about the mediocre extravaganza that is Dante’s Inferno.
Ubisoft’s questionable DRM tactics incite a hysterical riot, Jim gives some first impressions on the PC version of Alien vs Predator, and we teach you how to get your virginity back.
So download and listen, but if things get rough, don’t forget to bring the amber lamps.
This week we have a special guest! Jim’s brother-in-law Joe sits in on the podcast as we get our nerd rage in full effect over the topic of DLC.
Did you choose fire or water? Adam chose fire, Ben chose water, and Jim chose both!
Jim and Adam discuss whether Dante’s Inferno lives up to the heated hype, or if it fizzled out, then Jim and Ben discuss the cross-platform differences of Bioshock 2, and Ben is beside himself with
great things to say about the multiplayer experience.
All this and some sneaky sleuthing about Square (alliteration!) on this weeks SHOTGUN.
International Delight! This week we have a special co-host, EvAv’s own Martin Perry, standing in for Adam while he’s on a vision quest in Michigan.
Jim and Martin talk a bit about Mass Effect 2, Ben gives us some thoughts on Darksiders and the new-ish Dragon Age DLC, and Martin explains that he doesn’t hate every video game he plays, just most of them. He also enjoys haggis.
Check out all this, plus our “bro-tastic” Army of Two giveaway results on this weeks Shotgun!
This week we catch up on some voice mails from you, our loyal listeners! We get a cool history lesson on some sci-fi gaming classics, Jim takes up a super spooky and mysterious challenge on the Wii, and we try to explain which of the 5,347 awesome titles coming out before summer are most worth your hard earned money.
Also, Adam reviews Army of Two:The 40th Day, Ben tries to wrap his head around Nolan North’s mystical voice acting talents, and we learn that when it comes to NPD charts, five million soccer moms can’t be wrong. Seriously, your mom loves Wii Fit.
This week Adam describes what it’s like to take on Bayonetta, and we discover our podcast can come up with better names for an angel murdering witch than Sega can. Also Jim comes to term with his abusive relationship with Demon Souls, and Ben gives a review of the Dark Void demo which is full of quick time events and more Nolan North! In weekly releases, there is only one real game, so we’ll just tell you now to spend your allowance on a blu ray of Tyler Perry’s “I Can Do Bad All By Myself“
We’re back after a week off for the holiday and Adam sounds less like a robot! We run through some holiday pickups and what we’ve been doing over the past two weeks, as well as our games of 2009, and the new releases.
Not much going on in the world of gaming, so we talk a bit about some television and how Jim proposed to his wife. Ben saw Avatar, Jim played Ju-On for the Wii, and we close out without saying “Merry Christmas” or even “Happy Holidays.”
We’re at the half century mark here folks, and what better way to hit that than to discuss the community picks for games (and shames) of the year. We also have all tried that incredible Jurassic: The Hunted game and a couple of us have given that Dante’s Inferno demo a shot. Oh, there’s a bit of talk about The Saboteur too. Cool.
We’re back after a holiday hiatus talking about some games. Did you know that M.U.L.E. has been rereleased? How about that Jim is still freakin’ playing Dragon Age? Ben has played flipper flopper and picked up Left 4 Dead 2 and Adam goes pee. We run down all the winners of The Twelve Days of Evil, as well as let you in on an upcoming giveaway. Enjoy!
