It’s a three man show that falls off the rails into the land of off-topic-ery often this week as Anthony, Tyler and Arthur talk about Fight Night Round 4, more Call of Juarez BiB, and the historical irony of Anthony’s most recent Civ 4 excursion. Then it’s on to games that surprised you (in a good way!) and letters. Big boned glans!

This week’s music, in order of appearance:

Year of the Rabbit - Vaporize

PJ Harvey - Naked Cousin

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

I know for many of us and our friends in the media community, this has been a year of surprises (which I’m sure is obvious if you’ve been paying any attention to our Red Faction: Guerrilla boners of late). So we thought we’d ask you what games over the last few years have really surprised you positively? Whether they were games you’d never heard of that you loved, or games you thought you’d hate that you adore, let us know by this afternoon at 6:00 PM PDT.

Sad faces all around. As our good friend and man-crush Matt Chandronait has come down with the Area 5 death plague, we’re going to be postponing episode 3 until next week. Sorry for the late notice, but, well, a week long break at least once during Game Club is sort of tradition at this point.

Let’s get this out of the way: it’s a short show this week, and the sound quality is not great. Rather than skip a week due to some tomfoolery and shenanigans, Tyler, Anthony and I (Arthur) decided to sack up and record another of our diner-table podcasts. It’s a long round of what we’ve been playing where we talk about the Uncharted 2 beta, Point Lookout, the new Fallout 3 DLC, and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, and then it’s on to a few letters. This is NOT episode 23, so you’ve still got a couple of weeks to get in those theme song entries kiddos. Slim vaginas to you and yours.

This week’s music, in order of appearance:

Blue Spanish Sky - Chris Isaak
