It is officially official, Activision is taking over the world. Aside from discussing our usual impressions, we spend an absurd amount of time discussing the bold moves taken by Activision in the previous week. Whether it is contemplating the consumption of Take Two or axing an entire mainstream genre of games, Activision certainly does not screw around when it comes to world domination. On a lighter note, Double Fine is making a Sesame Street game... for the Kinect! Wait... what? It's a strange, somewhat depressing week but we certainly make the best of it as usual so tune in!

This has been a great week for gaming at 4Player Podcast and you can tell since our first segment runs more than an hour! A few oldies like Castlevania Harmony of Despair and Dragon Age are mentioned but we also get into some lengthy discussions about the Bulletstorm and Catherine demos before talking at length about Dead Space 2! In segment 2, the sequel to Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, gets a hefty discussion and we cover the exciting new platform from Sony, the NGP (codename).

2010 is behind us and it is finally time to get back to business. For the first time in several weeks, we actually sit down to discuss what we have been playing! We have a lot of catching up to do thanks to the 3 weeks of various award and preview shows so impressions run a little long this week. In fact... they run so long, that other regular segments like "chatter 4 the week" have to sit this one out. In a rather surprising turn of events, we all spent a lot of time playing games on our laundry lists. We talk about everything from Machinarium to Batman Arkham Asylum and Nick even blows minds when he reveals that he finally started playing Dragon Age Origins! Join us as we kick off 2011 with a bang!

It's that time again! A new year is upon us and there is obviously a landslide of new games for us to be excited about. The podcast got a little crazy this year with all 6 of us (Nick, Brad, David, Nolan, Joseph, and Carlos) taking a seat around the table to hash out which games in 2011 will garner the most attention from us.

We break it down by console exclusives and Downloadable titles, multi-platform titles, and then round out the show with our individual top 5 lists! There are so many games discussed and mentioned that I won't even begin to list them here... ok maybe I will give you a little taste... STAR WOLVES 3 anyone?
