4playerpodcastitunesIt is officially official, Activision is taking over the world. Aside from discussing our usual impressions, we spend an absurd amount of time discussing the bold moves taken by Activision in the previous week. Whether it is contemplating the consumption of Take Two or axing an entire mainstream genre of games, Activision certainly does not screw around when it comes to world domination. On a lighter note, Double Fine is making a Sesame Street game... for the Kinect! Wait... what? It's a strange, somewhat depressing week but we certainly make the best of it as usual so tune in!

    Let's have a minute of silence for Mirror's Edge 2. Seriously EA, what the fuck?

    i like how brad proved his point based on what david said: "so many people complain about the way a certain system is in a game, so for the next game the devs dumb down or simplify the way a certain mechanic works: sad sad sad

    Is it possible to get the names of the tracks used in the breaks in future casts? I often find myself wondering which track it is, like the news/community transistion this cast.

    You guys should switch up the game visible behind David's head every week, and make it a game for chat to try and guess which one it is based off of what Nick keeps talking about.

    I'm betting there will be a lot of idiots in chat guessing "I bet it's Turok!" or "It's the Bourne game!"
