TalkRadar’s 37th episode closes out a week tinged by two strange and insignificant controversies. First, baby games suddenly became relevant, after the babbling in Baby Pals was accused of harboring a hidden Islamic message. Then, (some of) the reviews for Killzone 2 hit almost a month ahead of the game’s release, prompting a cavalcade of outrage from people who felt the 9s and 10s were either too high, too low or just generally suspect.

As always, TalkRadar is there to jump in and discuss these current events as drunkenly and belligerently as possible, along with this week’s Top 7, crappy old voice-acting from crappy old games and the winning entries in our fantastic guerilla-advertising contest.

TOPICS 

Top 7... games that should’ve had co-op – Because everything’s more fun with a buddy! Except solitaire. And pooping.

Killzone 2 reviewed – Will the controversy ever die?

Killzone 2 NOT reviewed – No. No, it won’t.

The Amazing Spider-Man vs The Kingpin – Our fascination with awful audio continues!



Rygar reviewed – Can a seven-year-old PS2 game hold up on the Wii? (SPOILER ALERT: No.)

"Islam is the light" "controversy" – Wow, is it 2002 again?



DS contest – We pick the winners!

Blogger bonds with bullies over games – D’awwww.

Pedophiles invade Home – As if you needed another reason to stay away...

Question 22: What game did you always hog? 

THE VOICES

Quote of the week: 
“Spoiler Alert: In case you didn’t know the ending of Call of Duty 4 reveals that the whole game was a dream inside an autistic kid’s snow globe.”

ISLAM IS THE LIGHT

This is the first I've heard of any of this.

That islam is the light stuff is over protective people being retarded once again.

Is it just me, or the audio quality a little off this week? It seems that whenever someone speaks too loudly, the audio gets all distorted.

"Islam is the light" I have never heard a shitty ds game say such true words.

Apologies for the audio quality this week! My computer shit the bed two weeks ago, and we've been cobbling 'cast together with borrowed equipment...

I'd be much more ashamed if this edition wasn't particularly funny,

OHMYGOD YAY!!!!!

I seriously hope that "Islam is the Light" gets turned into a meme.

Gonna listen right now.

You know what? I've joined entirely just to say this: SHUT UP ABOUT FANBOYS. Stop talking ABOUT them, stop responding TO them.

I understand there's a lot of them and I understand they can be ridiculously vocal. I've had the misfortune of seeing Gametrailers forums and the like.
But I don't need to hear you guys or any other video game podcast defending yourselves from the most stupid crap, for ten minutes at a time. I don't need to hear all the details of how you aren't paid by Microsoft and Sony. All of us with any common sense KNOW this already.

You're just wasting everyone elses' time. And it's making me and I imagine others, not want to listen.

Another winner, guys! I made a fool of myself laughing quite loudly at this during work. A very enjoyable entry!
Hypermonkey262  - 9 months 24 days ago 
This weeks podcast was awesome...not that i remember any of it since i decided to get completely fucking wasted while I listened to it.
Romination  - 9 months 24 days ago 
wow, Mikel, you were PISSED. I don't think I've ever heard you THAT mad (not even when you suddenly turned into Christian Bale!...or when Chris spams the sound effects...)
The Muslim segment and the Duke Lombardi in Godfather 2 part got me odd stares from my neighbors.
likedamaster  - 9 months 23 days ago 
You guys are simply the RoxxorZ!!1 And the fight on last week's podcast...? LOL Absolutely loved it!
AzRedsk1n  - 9 months 23 days ago 
This was my first time listneing to a GR podcasts. You guys are hillariouse.

I noticed the background music at one point was Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria...Awsome
