After deciding very quickly that we need to suck less, the gaming news flows forth.

Featuring  Rob discussing Japan's answer to the cover shooter, Vanquish and the connection woes of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Zac drops the bomb on the similarities between Monday Night Combat and TF2, and unrealistic frontier realism MMO WURM Online. Dan continues the Rockstar patronage and goes zombie hunting in the wild west in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.

Lot of dates, as in years, mentioned this week too... Thought I’d have something funny to say about that. I don’t.

Driving seems to be main theme this time. We've all been playing them racing games. The Steam sales have magical properties like that.

Rob gushes about Blur, confirming its awesomeness, Dan arrives late to the Dirt 2 party and Zac.... plays Eve some more. Well he did play some Dirt too (see what I did there?).

There’s also some ranting about the 3DS before it's out, some SpaceChem and Super Meat Boy. How lucky you are!

Wow ok, where to begin. This epic special episode is dedicated to the most epic award (and a few others) that can be bestowed upon a game: the Saladcast GOTY.

Including supporting roles from Best Musical Score, Most Memorable Moment and Biggest Disappointment in Gaming 2010!

Strap yourselves in. This was tough.

Christmas (or the "festive season") is nearly upon us so we decide that we won't really talk about it much. Save that for next week. That'll be special, just you see!

For now Zac will take you through the first Golden Sun game for 6 years and some breakout clonage in Shatter. Rob finishes up with the metal lords of Brütal Legend, begins on Bioshock 2 and targets TF2 again. Dan gets squeezed out a little again but does drop some nuggets on Super Meat Boy, Halo Reach and Batman.
