Our charity marathon begins Saturday Nov 17th at Noon EST. Justin, Josh, Cole and Ethan enlist the help of the live chat audience to narrow down a giant list of potential co-op games and find the featured games of the event.

Gaming journalism has gone under the microscope lately leading into the most criticism filled part of the year so Justin, Josh, Ethan and Cole step and look at to their gaming roots to discuss what keeps them coming back.

Josh loves the 2nd President of Japan's butt, Justin escapes indecisiveness by fleeing to Saints Row, Cole would rather be punching Mike Tyson, and Ethan gets run offline by zombie drivers. Plus Dishonored, NFS: Most Wanted, 3DS praise and found footage.

What is scarier? The horror episode preceding this aftermath or Josh's continued disdain for Doom 3? Justin tries to defend, but may have been outcast for his streetpass stalking while Ethan continues to hunt down more aliens.

Justin and Josh haven't caught up on all of Desmond's adventures, but they are just as excited about Assassin's Creed III as the experienced, Brandon. Together they discuss what makes the hype from this yearly franchise so much more intriguing in 2012.

Brandon, Aaron, and Justin G take a break from their bazillionder gun hunt to discuss how much more Borderlands 2 is the right amount of Borderlands, as well as their thoughts on the future of the franchise.

While horror games have seen an indie revival in recent years, the major publishers continue to shy away from the genre. Justin, Josh, and Ethan investigate and discuss their personal favorite frights and spooky failures.

We're not sure if the aliens allowed the real Ethan onto the show, Gifford has a crush on Handsome Jack's guns, and Justin gets high on stealth, not Death. Plus The Secret World, Dust, Retro City Rampage, the return of books, and more.

The audience has opinions on Hell Yeah!, Justin should stop asking questions about The Walking Dead, Ethan struggles to wait for the Euro release of XCOM, and surprise, Dishonored confirms that Josh likes to kill people.

Justin, Josh and Ethan dig deep to figure what makes for a truly memorable debut for a new video game franchise. From the highs of Resident Evil to the failures of Homefront which originals still stand above their sequels?
