Living in a large metropolitan area can be great for midnight launch lines. Particularly in San Francisco, you run the risk — or, shall I say, opportunity — of concentrating the crazies, gamer and non-gamer alike, into one location for up-close-and-personal observation. We were there for the midnight launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 so that we could cover the single-player, at least, on this week’s show. It’s the first of a MW2 two-parter. We believe it takes longer than a few days to evaluate multiplayer, so we’re going to give it a good shakedown before talking about that part of the game. David Ellis from 1UP joined Ryan and JayFresh to talk about the sometimes controversial, usually awesome, sometimes played-out trek through the single-player experience.
Jason Wilson and Demian Linn, from this lovely Bitmob site some of you may have heard about, seemed to get as much out of Dragon Age: Origins as I did, and we all agree that it’s one of the best PC RPGs of all time. While Ryan had tons of other games to play over the last few weeks, he did make a significant dent in the PS3 version. There are some nagging problems to be sure, but it’s hard to go wrong with this latest BioWare epic. If you’re even a sort of on-again-off-again RPG fan, this game is an experience you simply must add to your memory bank.
DJ Hero definitely seems good enough to justify yet another plastic peripheral in your living room. Richard Li of 1UP drops by to share his thoughts as an expert with the game with Cesar and Jason.
