SPT Podcast #51- Child of Eden, Infamous 2, Mortal Kombat, Trenched
Tue, July 26, 2011 by Morgan 
Our 51st podcast kicks off summer with a bang! Morgan, josh and shea run through a gauntlet of games including: Child of Eden, Infamous 2, Mortal Kombat, Trenched, and much more. Summer is usually a slower time of year for gamers so it was refreshing to have almost too many games to cover in one show. We get the ball rolling with the trippy rythm shooter "child of eden" from the legendary creator of rez. The crew felt like the game was worthy a rental for sure, but the final product is a far cry for the game we were hoping it would be. Infamous 2 made for an interesting topic of discussion, as new blood shea lost his infamous virginity with this sequel,and he enjoyed himself quite a bit. josh and morgan however were left feeling a bit under whelmed for a series that still has so much untapped potential. Morgan and shea finally weigh in on the new Mortal Kombat reboot,and come away surprisingly impressed with their time spent in the game. Josh and morgan lay down the final verdict on trenched, the tower defense shooter from Double fine that has been garnering alot of attention as of late. The show concludes with some brief verbal sparring over the likes of "plants vs zombies" in regards to sheas time spent with the game as of recently. All in all the final show ended up running about an hour and a half, but it felt great to have so many topics for a summer show. We hope you enjoyed the podcast,and stay tuned next week for an epic show were the crew of SPT delves into the sexy Catherine (oh..yeah..), and the epic Bastion. Have a great one! SPT out!

What's up SPT. Sorry to hear you guys didn't like Infamous 2 as much as the first. I'm sad to admit that I haven't played the game yet myself so I'd hate to give my wafer thin opinion on just the demo. Overall I've heard some fairly positive reviews on Infamous 2, which is great and all, but I really doubt this game will advance the sandbox genre and have a lasting impression on me like the original had done back in 2009. For now, I'll slide this game a little further back behind Limbo, Bastion and The Witcher 2. Damn, I have yet to play Limbo, I'm feeling a little ashamed of myself right now.

Great to hear from you as usual ! Limbo should be higher on your priority list than infamous 2, but i am suprised you have yet to play it. LImbo was one of the most debated games from last years podcasts. We all just finished Bastion and Catherine and we should be recording the next podcast very soon! Also the witcher 2 does look pretty awesome but being PC ONLY its difficult for us to check out.
