OMG NEW PODCAST!!!!

Starcraft II (PC), Yakuza 4 (PS3), Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (PS3), Portal 2 (PC), Shift 2: Unleashed (360), Race Driver's Grid (360), Hyperdimension Neptunia (PS3) and The Third Birthday (PSP)

Slightly less controversial this week, but plenty of commentary on the PSN outage and a fascinating perspective on a game that is going for $92 USD on Amazon right now -- Hyperdimension Neptunia!

Also Homer's vivid, spoilerfree, account of Portal 2 (with a shocking reveal of what game mode he enjoys most), along with a discussion of the lesbian-themed Third Birthday.

That was Parasite Eve man.  The prelude to The Third Birthday.

I just got in like 20 minutes ago, I better get to sleep, 8am start tomorrow. I am in nowhere land, how do they always find these places.

Fear something. It got a sequel too. It was a game staring lesbians.

Fear Effect! Thank you.

SF4 is so boring, I need MK 3DS.

I almost traded it in today but there was this snotty game clerk that I didn't want to talk to.

This thing doesn't even have a disc drive. It looks like an external Hard Drive.

It looks like crap. I don't get it, since DS Lite and Wii Nintendo does great looking hardware. This must be the SDK or something. I need size comparisons too.
