DVD Verdict Presents... Movie Podcasts

Newcomers Steve and Tim join first-time host Erich and a sickly Dave for an hour of game-related chatter that includes hot-off-the-press impressions of Resident Evil 5, Ninja Blade, and Halo Wars, as well as belated Braid talk and the continuing obsession that is Street Fighter IV. The boys then perform a delayed autopsy on EGM, take on the expanding used game business, and blow their own blog-related trumpets, before winding down with upcoming games they don't think anyone else is excited about.

Enjoy!
