THE LIST: 5 Games You Wish Had New Game +

Here's an easy one for ya. We want to know the five games in which you'd like to see New Game +. You know, the feature that lets you play through the game again using the stats and items you acquired the first time around. Perhaps you want to replay a game but don't want to trudge through it again. Or perhaps you want the chance to max out your stats because you want to be a super badass.

Leave us your THE LIST in the comments and we'll read them in episode 57.

Low Score Episode 56 "She Wears a Hood"

The first podcast of the year wraps-up last year with our personal top tens and a handful of THE LISTs.

Back from the holidays, Bobby and J do a little year-end wrap-up. Bobby has finally had a chance to mosey in New Austin and Nuevo Paraiso in Red Dead Redemption. J was shocked by how much he enjoyed Alan Wake.

We've made a bunch of lists this week. One of them is our top ten favorite games of the year. The other four are THE LISTs: five games of 2010 you've yet to play, five favorite moments of the year, five biggest surprises of 2010, and and the five things in 2011 we're looking forward to.

Low Score Episode 55 "A Stack of Obligations"

Short but sweet, Bobby and J talk Rock Band 3, Fallout New Vegas, gaming in the Clinton years versus the Bush Jr. years, and THE LIST.

Though Black Friday came and went without much a stir, it did (to everybody's surprise) convince Bobby to buy Rock Band 3. But he wasn't the only one drumming away—J finished three of the New Vegas endings and closed the book on this chapter of the Fallout tale.

Inspired by a discussion topic on the Gamers at UVA forums, Bobby and J discuss gaming in the Clinton era versus gaming in the George W. years.

And THE LIST this week challenged us to pick five major games from 2000-2010 we missed out on.

Low Score Episode 54 "Both Bandit and Ghost Trains"

A totally classic episode of the Low Score podcast. J and Bobby address the litany of games they've played, things in the news, and a Thanksgiving themed THE LIST.

The past few weeks have been anything but a lull in our game playing. Bobby somehow ended up with a copy of Black Ops, Bobby and J rocked through Borderlands: Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, Bobby, J, and Jimmy finished Halo: Reach on legendary, and J still managed to squeeze in a good number of New Vegas hours.

We talked Black Friday deals, addressed some sales numbers, pontificated over release dates, and came to the realization that we want a Lego Space game.

And the THE LIST! It's our five Dinner Sandwich games.

And remember what we always say about Thanksgiving: It's like Christmas!

THE LIST (Ep 54) - Dinner Sandwich Games

Thanksgiving approaches! What will you do? Eat. A lot, hopefully. I love Thanksgiving—it's the one holiday solely about food. And giving thanks, I guess. But really it's about food. And so many delicious foods to choose from! Thanksgiving serves as the inspiration for this week's THE LIST.

When we were students at the University of Virginia, there was a food counter in the Pav called Cranberry Farms. It served the kind of hot meals you'd expect from a place like Boston Market: turkey, rotisserie chicken, sides. But you'd have to be crazy to get any of the combo meals, though. Why get a combo meal with all the elements separated on the plate when you could get them all between two thick slices of bread?

The Dinner Sandwich. Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwiched between two thick slices of white bread and drenched in gravy. It's all the elements you love separately put into a single package for your enjoyment.

This week we want to know your five Dinner Sandwich games. Games that combine two or more disparate elements into a single beautiful thing. For example, a fighting game dating-sim, or a crazy JRPG story packed into an RTS.

Give us your THE LIST in the comments!
