Steve and Jon tackle this episode Co-op style while Adam ventures across the frozen tundra of Greenland to rescue rare sea birds. Jon’s been playing a lot of Ys Seven on his PSP, and Steve got a little quality time in with Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days, Mafia II, and makes a second attempt at Final Fantasy XIII. They both have some early thoughts on the first hour or so of Metroid: Other M to share as well.
After that comes discussion of Gamescom, Europe’s biggest video game conference. What rocked? What sucked? Listen and learn. This one is much better than the last time we let these two run an episode.
