Ep18: Not for the Faint of Heart
· Written by Andrew · Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:00 ·
Here comes a hefty serving of pie, with over 75min of crust. For this being mostly a retro gaming crew, 2004 lit up many consoles for us and there was a lot to talk about for this year. Ben points out early how at this point we had a lot of other stuff on our plates, so for this many games to shine through makes them something truly special. Jaime starts off on Ninja Gaiden and explains the courage you would need to attempt this game, with its higher skill level and impossible difficulties. Andrew rants (and rants and rants) about Burnout 3: Takedown. Here's the short version; its fast and has good physics and gameplay. Kerry talks about the expansive Spiderman 2, how great the swinging was and jumping off the Empire State Building. Everyone drops in their two cents on one of the great Tom Clancy sponsored games, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. This was one of the games that was great to play over Xbox Connect and the platoon reminisce about spies vs mercs and messed up control styles. Some brief info is given on Chronicles of Riddick: Butcher Bay, while no good info is given on Fable, which was still a decent game, or Halo 2, which was a terrible piece of shit. The end of the night brings a gut check and a late night phone call. Overall, one of the best episodes yet, enjoy.

"sequester a vehicle", oh I like how that sounded. I do think we just barely grazed the surface of how bad Halo 2 is. "Double needlered to death".
I look forward to doing that 'gripes list'
