bulletstorm

This week, Anton, Al and Mike chat about the rumoured new versions of the Nintendo Switch, after the Wall Street Journal leaked some info that has everyone talking. As well as that, there's loads of new game announcements, including a new Mario & Sonic at the Olympics title, Bulletstorm, Sega Ages classics and more Panic Button ports!  

We've got so much to talk about this week that it's one of our longest episodes yet, but we still found time for the quiz too!

Mat discusses the highs of Bulletstorm and the disappointment that was Crysis 2 at the Eurogamer Expo.

EA faces SPOnG's 'we're not angry, we're just disappointed' face in a 'goat or boat' session over the Taliban/Opposing Force debacle.

Svend weighes in on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, while Mark provides a n00b's-eye view.

FIFA 11 is put in the inevitable cagefight against PES 2011. Paul has no doubt which way he swings, Mat may be in denial about his preference...

Sonic 4!

How Minecraft can ruin your life and make you a nightclub owner.

Svend has a bit of a chin-wag with Platinum producer Atsushi Inaba about Vanquish.

Plus: Daily Fail!

This is the last episode of Season 4 of the SuperHappyFunTimeShow and with it, we bring 2011 to a close,  and what a year it has been! Many citing it as one of the best years in video games in a very long time.  Tara and Chris go through what they thought was the good, bad and ugly in terms of video game releases over the past 12 months and also look to the future.  Why not share your thoughts on how 2011 turned out and indeed what 2012 is to have in store for us.  Will it match the glories of 2011?  Only time will tell as well as some misguided analysts.

Bloodshot Robot spends the show destroying his liver thanks to Newcastle Brown Ale, Hendrix gets an email from PSN that boasts that Resistance getting a greatest hits collection and Alphabox lays into the Wii and compares it to Kinect and Move fails in comparison.

All four members of the crew are present again along with Rozonus AKA Charlie Holmes.  Much hilarity is had over how bad Homefront and Fable III DLC is as well as Kropotkin somehow managing to bring the mood right down by chatting about a documentary on Amish folk. No, we do not know why he did this either.  Be sure to listen through to the end though, as there is a chance to win a Portal 2 shirt.

We definitely talk about Dragon Age this week. And Skyrim. We talk about other games too, but we will have forgotten their names by the time we play Skyrim.

Kropotkin tells all about the Nintendo 3DS and PS3 preview events he attended while Binary667 shocks everyone by describing Dead Space 2 as awful.  Alphabox in the meantime continues to commit heresy by refusing to admit Black Adder is in any way funny.

Running time: 01:04:04

A full compliment of hosts on board this week, with Hendrix chatting about his rediscovery of Battlestar Galactica, the original series and also enjoying Dead Space 2 immensely.
