Oh man, Grand Theft Auto: Canada

Hooah?

Holy shit I laughed so hard at the end movie

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!!

Talkrdar clearly needs a contest where the all the grand prize winner needs to do is correctly submit his/her contact information.

holy shit, I was worried Okami wouldn't make the cut, then BAM!

TOO TRUE, RECAPTCHA...

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...

Skip to 35 minutes exactly for the awesome part.

Yes, I spent Saturday night working on that.

Seth is back! HUZZAH!

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.

Wow, Goofy's eyes are GLUED to Ariel's chest.

@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?

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

Who the heck is Tom Goulter, and how does he COMMAND my attention so? Consider this article thoroughly enjoyed, and get this guy writing more!

You know, there's still 68 OTHER talkradars to download. You'll still laugh at the jokes.

NO CHRIS, WHAT?

Damn it, I saw it coming each time, and still lawled.

I just busted a Nutt!

Probably not the first one to make that joke. Sorry Christian.

Aside from this trailer (where I didn't see any indication of it), has it been confirmed that it's in HD? And if it is, yeah, that pretty much rules out the Wii - or at least the same version of the game on all consoles.

I'd honestly be fine with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 done in the same style as Megaman 9.

Mario Paint itself made the mouse worthwhile. I've put more hours into that game than any other, seriously.

The silver angel girl has an outie. Two of them, actually...
