Braid/King of Kong/GRID/Piles of Shame.
Paul is away this week but the show must go on. We start with a review of a light-hearted, amusing documentary about obsessive retro video gamers; The King of Kong. Obviously it’s rare we see movies about our favourite subjects so this one is kind of important.
Tony reviews the latest car racing game; GRID. Find out if the cars in this one race better than the cars in the ten thousand other identical hi-def racers out there. I’m kidding tony, they’re all VASTLY different!
We start a new weekly feature. So you’ll find out what that is too.
Then we discuss our piles of shame. These are the ever-growing collections of video games on our shelves that we sort of played but never really got into and occasionally beat ourselves up over never completing.
Finally we review Braid, the Xbox Live Arcade title that seems to be getting perfect scores and internet backlash across the board. Get the final word on whether it’s any good here. There’s also a spoiler section at the very end where we discuss the secrets of the plot.
A remarkably well-packed show considering we’re one man down.
