Dave, Tim, and Erich run through the games they’ve been playing—including Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, ‘Splosion Man, Dante’s Inferno, and Street Fighter IV—before looking ahead to big (and little) titles on the horizon. Dave wonders whether he should try Heavy Rain, Tim wonders whether he’ll be able to find a PS3 before God of War III comes out, and Erich wonders whether the Xbox Live Arcade Game Room will be worth downloading. No Symposium Ad Nauseum this week, but we have a very good excuse. At least, I think we do. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Make your own excuses in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing us at feedback@pixelverdict.com.
