Dead Rising 2

Just a few weeks back on the podcast, we were discussing the rumors of Dead Rising 2. And now we have a new official trailer! This time we have a new lead character, Chuck Greene,  and a new location, Fortune City. And apparently some new and creative ways to use weapons too; IE: the 2 chainsaws attached to  a motorcycle -  looks definitely appealing. You can check out our thoughts on the first game for both the Xbox 360 and the Wii.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

A few episodes ago, a couple of the guys had a chance to discuss Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Well now it looks like we’re getting a sequel this summer to the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise. I didn’t have a chance to check out the original Marvel vs. Capcom, and to be honest after Street Fighter IV I’m not sure how excited I am about this one, but I’ll certainly give this one a run up the flag poll.

Batman: Arkham Asylum – Harley Quinn Trailer

As the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game gets closer to launch, we’re seeing some new character videos coming out providing us some more insight into the game. I can’t wait to get my hands on this as it certainly has the potential to be great.

Disturbing Strokes

And finally, I leave you with a bit of a different take on a classic sitcom. It always fascinates me how much of an impact the musical score can have to a visual medium. It pretty much speaks for itself so take a peek…

Ok, in case you have an urge to hear the original, I give you Dave Chappelle, John Mayer and Questlove!

So if you remember from the last show, we were looking at Dead Rising on the 360. And since I had only gotten a chance to check out the demo instead of the full game, the boys had convinced me that my money would be well spent grabbing myself a copy. So much to my surprise, the Wii port ended up coming out this same week so I thought I’d give it whirl to see how it compared to the 360 version. Soooooooooo??????

Hey-ho its another Wednesday and time for a new podcast!

This week we introduce a new segment, “Out of the Bin” where we take a look at an older game that we think deserves some extra lovin’. This week, we head to the mall to get some new duds, an Orange Julius and whack some zombies with a sledge hammer – its Dead Rising.

In this episode we discuss:

• Out of the Bin – Dead Rising
• Oscar flicks – The Reader & The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Follow-up on Episode 2 of Dollhouse
• A quick peek at Castle Crashers
• And a look at the Wolverine: Old Man Logan & Dark Avengers reviews

Feel free to leave feedback in the comments section and let us know if you have any suggestions for future “Out of the Bin” segments.
