TalkRadar 77 - Dedicated servers
Double post, but fuck it - I'm listening to the podcast as I comment. I've gotta say, the 'ask a games journalist' is my new favorite portion of the cast. While I do enjoy the top 7 and all the funny stuff in between, hearing the four of you borderline wax philosophic (I kid) is easily the most entertaining portion - and it hurts me to hear the discussion about skipping it entirely. Keep it up!!

New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii): New Super Mario Bros Wii
Bear in mind that 7 is still "good," and I certainly don't think this is bad game. But as a lifelong Mario fan, I don't see how anyone could consider this better, let alone on par with SMB3, Mario World, SM64 or Galaxy.

Good, not great, not exceptional.

50 3D milestones in gaming
@Xplosive59

I wondered the same thing, then I realized that 3D World is also published by Future. Sometimes we all share content like this just to show what else we have out there.

For example - I didn't even know we HAD a 3D magazine until now.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (PSP): Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Replaying missions is a first on PSP and all Sony platforms, so it's worth saying in that way. But yes, that was a feature on DS as well.

Cyberninja: Yep, I think it's better on DS, having spent tons of time with both I feel I can say that easily. However, if you didn't play the DS one, this is absolutely worth trying.

TalkRadar 73 - Do the Mario
I'd actually like the listeners to decide each quote of the week instead of us picking one.

Though this week I like "We use The Sims to kill these kinds of people" and "You're listening to the Ocelot and the Rapist!"

Left 4 Dead - Crash Course DLC review
I don't think it's the most fun campaign (to me, that's Dead Air) but it's definitely very good. I'd have paid $20 for it and the corresponding achievements, but maybe I'm weird.

Picked this up for Wii a while back - loved the hell out of it. I should probably pick this up too, if only for the extras. The visuals in the Wii version were a little distracting, this seems to clear that up too...

We tended to stick with the countries you fight them in rather than their origin (Oro wasn't born in Brazil, but his background is) and left out some Final Fight characters that don't appear as playable... characters.

The Top 7… weirdest music games ever
I was hoping to see Journey Escape here - only because I've got such weird memories of that game. One of those things that, at four years old, you were kind of freaked out at but still couldn't look away from. "Don't Stop Believin'" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I figure it's because it was permanently etched into my memory through this game. Also it's fucking awesome.

The Top 7... things ODST does better than Halo 3
@SausageLozenge - I do *try* to stay away from establishing a value of a game by it's length - but when there's a whole OTHER disk in the case with content I already have, it's hard to shake the idea that Bungie just took a page from Nintendo's handbook. That said, I can probably sell my Halo 3 disk locally for a good 20 - 30 bucks and recoup a lot of the cost. Despite only playing a few rounds of firefight, I can definitely see the draw there - and 4 player campaign on legendary would likely be the definition of epic. See you online dude, this should be fun. I also can't help but wonder if they're planning DLC for this? Anyone heard anything?

@dreadfred - I haven't seen any *new* weapons per se - but the updated pistol and SMG are fantastic.

@bobbety - I agree, to a point. I thought the contrasting music was VERY well done - but yeah, there were a few times where I had an army of brutes on my ass while some chill saxophone riff accompanied the action. Pretty weird. Overall, I really enjoyed the music.

Can't help but wonder if this 'open world' (I use the term loosely) concept is an idea Bungie is headed towards for Reach?

The best handheld conversions of all time
Great list! I would also like to add Metroid Prime Hunters, which manages to convert he robust ideas of Prime into a DS FPS... in early 2006. It's a true technical marvel.

Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360): The Top 7... things ODST does better than Halo 3
This is all truth. Despite it's short campaign (and I'm hard pressed to say, considering the story, it didn't NAIL the PERFECT length), I honestly may have enjoyed it more than Halo 3. I think the only part of the game I didn't really enjoy was the typical 'Halo hallway' section before the Data Hive. Small gripe considering the rest of the campaign was pretty well done.

Worth 60 bucks? For me, no. But that's only because I already BOUGHT the map expansions for Halo 3 - the only real content I was getting were the three new maps, so that's kind of a bummer.

Need some XBL friends to go through co-op and campaign too - it doesn't seem like too many people on my list have the game yet. Shame there's no matchmaking for Firefight. Hit me up if you're looking for a fourth player to drag the team down. Gamertag: twishart
