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.”

    I know I'm a bit late, but:
    Islam is the light? Why are they talking about my country's religion like it's something to be despised?
    Other than that wierdness, great podcast

    There's that iReport thing on CNN now, right? Next time Fox News or some other shit outlet talks crap about a game with NO proof, I want, no, I CHALLENGE all of you to take advantage of iReport and write a insightful article (it must have evidence to prove that we do our homework) about their complete lack of knowledge about the subject they report on. That will be AWESOME!!! Maybe that will get them to actually study up on them 'children' toys.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.
