The game industry might have slowed things down during these dark early days of 2009, but never fear – TalkRadar continues to lumber ahead at its usual drunken pace. This week, we’ve managed to enrage the internet twice, and we discuss the drama along with our latest coverage of Killzone 2, this week’s Top 7 and one of the few good games to actually release this month.

After that, things take a weird turn as we dissect the oeuvre of one of the worst game publishers ever to stalk the earth, talk about other peoples’ illnesses and drown our ears in the dulcet tones of a screaming wrestler’s voice.

Explicit Content Within! Persons with delicate ears should definitely not listen, as they will hear edgy no-no words freely spoken on South Park and HBO.

TOPICS

Top 7… Best ports on inferior systems – No, we’re not saying the Genesis was terrible.

Killzone 2 vs 2008’s best shooters – Apparently, it’s not OK to compare upcoming games to other, similar games. But we did it anyway.

Moon – Sort of like System Shock, if System Shock was on the DS.

Phoenix Games – “The Only European Super Budget Publisher,” according to its website. “The EA of Shit,” according to us.

 
Above: The horror… the horror…

Randy “Macho Man” Savage – single-handedly turns Left 4 Dead into sublime poetry.

Question 18: Whaddya listen to while you play?
