Low Score Episode 18 "Back in the Game"

Now that Bobby's free from the clutches of his thesis, he's finally able to play games again! Bobby talks about Henry Hatsworth, GTA Chinatown Wars, and Chrono Cross, while J explains his XBLA plays and purchases.

There's an insightful two minutes of commentary about the PlayStation 2 price drop, Nintendo's game announcements at GDC, and the new OnLive service.

J poses the question "what do we want to see in an RPG in this modern day?" and we ruminate on what makes our favorite RPGs enjoyable.

It's a "meaty" show that you won't want to miss!

Low Score Episode 06 "Make it Work"

Not even the start of classes can stop Bobby from beating a game and buying three others. And now that he's finished with Mass Effect he and J can finally discuss it! Meanwhile J has an interesting cerebral response to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare being that it's the first FPS he's played where he's really out to kill real looking humans in war. Is this an untapped area of game design and story?

But be not discouraged, for Bobby wants to go to war with everybody in Civilization Revolution and blast off to space where he can kill alien dudes in Galaga Legions.

J's come back around on Bionic Commando: Rearmed and explains why not liking the game probably means you're doing it wrong.

What other adventures await our heroes? No idea! But you should listen anyway.
