I thought this week went slightly better than our last attempt to cast without Dan. The universe has other plans though and a slew of technical issues may affect today's performance. Glitchy networks and the wrong microphone lead to an inferior sound. The content itself is much better! It's not really a Minicast as planned either, it’s full length baby!

We cover awesome dude of the moment, Scott Pilgrim in his game guise, upcoming release Halo Reach and most of the other Halo games and go totally in depth on Team Fortress 2 as usual.

We get quite a lot covered this week as Rob investigates new games available in Demo Land including Limbo, Scott Pilgrim and Hydro Thunder! Dan and Zac do get a bit of a look in though and talk more Civilisation and Red Faction although Rob talks about them too. Why don't we just call it the Rob show and be done with it?

I think we may have a new tag list record! We do cover a lot of ground!

Let's just be straight about this. This episode is SPOILERIFIC! Consider this your one and only warning. This does mean we can get Mass Effect 2 out of our system. Rob and Zac also give their Red Faction: Guerilla impressions and we attempt to decipher Inception.

I'm not sure we could really have talked much more about Mass Effect 2 this week.

Anyway, after explaining the massive gap since the last episode we do talk about some games including a preview impression of Metroid: Other M, in depth Civilisation IV discussion, The Engineer Update and did I mention Mass Effect 2?

Did I get away with shifting Zeg from right to left btw?

So we attempt do the right thing and talk about all the upcoming games and technology we may not have been paying attention to! Plenty of speculation and doubt is sprinkled over the usual hope that accompanies a good trailer... or at least it appears to be some kind of white powder... doubt is white isn't it?
