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.
