Rich was one of many disappointed with Rage's opening performance. Epic is making some very bad choices with its Gears of War 3 downloadable content while Ubisoft makes bad decisions with its Splinter Cell re-release. Another bad decision maker? Konami... because it doesn't explain how Castlevania Harmony of Despair works.

Alon's upset that he can't keep up with everything in the world, Caller Tessa wants to test the depth of our misogyny, Twisted Pixel designs a Kinect game in less than five minutes, and Jim Sterling teaches us how to hate.

Ara's upset that a niche shooter got delayed and questions the motive for the change, Alon's upset that Mortal Kombat has so much downloadable content because it means he can't score the Amazon Gold Box deal, and they're both upset at a couple bimbos trying to make a buck pretending they like to play games.

Ara's back in action and ready to complain about more games. Alon wants you to know that Gunstringer is fun but suffers from the inescapable truth that the Kinect isn't actually a good gaming interface.

Deus Ex isn't for skinheads, Ara couldn't resist Disgaea 4, and sequels are doomed to an indefinitely slow evolution.

In this week's episode, Alon realizes that gyroscope-controlled iOS games are nothing new, he and Ara review the awe-inspiring ineptitude of GameStop corporate, and they respond to some listener mail about the availability of high quality games and why MMO's aren't their bag.

OMG, virtual window control on iOS! Rage is the greatest thing to happen to gaming since ever! Also, GameStop is making weird decisions, and feminists are noisy.

We reminisce over Odama's curiosities, Ara describes the good and the bad of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and Alon wants to save in the cloud.

Yakuza is way coola, The Elder Scrolls is angry with the younger Scrolls, and Duke Nukem Forever finally wins at something (losing).

Alon says you should buy Groove Coaster. He wonders if small downloadable games are actually a way to encourage experimentation, Ara finds a sensible Englishman and a nonsensical pastor, and Sony cozies up to an Indie dev.
