Weekend Confirmed Episode 29

70
It's been a while since we had a guest so we figured it would be fun to have EGMi's Patrick Klepek join Garnett, Brian, and Jeff for this week's show. There's certainly plenty for them to talk about with games like Enslaved, Rock Band 3, Def Jam Rap Star, Gears of War 3, and more in Whatcha Been Playin? Your comments on everything from Halo: Reach's story to how you invest in a game's character open the Warning and then the conversation turns to whether games need the threat of failure to be fun. There's also a preview of Indiecade happening this weekend in Los Angeles before moving on to news in the Front Page. This week's top stories include Panasonic's new "Jungle" handheld, resurrected rumors of a Halo movie, and word of new Marvel superhero games.

    Enslaved looks really good, and I am a sucker for good cinematic story telling....
