The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and GTA: Chinatown Wars. Also, iPhone games! Karma Star, geoDefense, Topple 2, Drop7, Eliss, and Field Runners.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena has a lot going for it. 1) It's two, two, TWO games in one! The package comes with an updated, widescreen version of Escape from Butcher Bay. 2) It's the best movie-to-game license, ever, and 3) we had some great guests come join us to talk about it! Brad Shoemaker from Giant Bomb joins Philip Kollar, Matt, Ryan and Cesar to worship and the blood-stained shrine of Riddick.

In what many thought would be a return to form, Grand Thef Auto: Chinatown Wars proves to be a grand adventure in it's own right, with lessons learned from it's big brothers on the big screens and nostalgia born of the series' storied past. John Davison, Sterling McGarvey, Ray Barnholt, and Matt gave it a go and found it largely able to stand up proudly amongst its pedigree.

It's CO-OP's first foray into the amazing world of iPhone gaming! There's an ocean of content we could cover, but we've chosen a few of our favorites to highlight in this episode: Karma Star, geoDefense, Topple 2, Drop7, Eliss, and Field Runners.

Making CO-OP isn't cheap, so its makers have to be! Fortunately, the Mission District in San Francisco affords a multitude of cheap eats and cheaper desserts!

" It's."

" It's good luck that's an. I think. Our Internet. Harder it is it's needed it and you missed it. What I want to know if you guys it's units and review anything thing. What did you really expect from -- and ours was first announced it expected to be some sort of -- option -- that would then."

" We GT eight to abuse and it's an innocence that apple was so good that want an. I love that 11969. They with a sort of first TD loans that went much -- badly when. Further within that they top of the graphics amazing kind of the associated look. I like that."

" It reminded me as I was playing it the whole cell shaded design even down to the soundtrack there's a certain anesthetics that they've really curve from white Americans gave lands and down. Proving ground I couldn't help but -- act doesn't like that Tony -- styled as I was born into town of course it."

" Yeah this is an improvement via records and stuff on TS and it works much better on. There's no way you can even attempt to do something and TT or even like the PS field. -- work and I just love how detailed it is you know you have people walking around the city and they see things as you go find it. Cars where and I can see crowd. My -- from underneath it doesn't. There isn't. Tourists on the side of the street taking pictures of landmarks to -- They really do all the kind of stuff that you expected GT eight game to have in order to give it city flavor and it all works. It wasn't wild about. The fact that it kind of made a point of being 3-D so much that -- they -- because -- didn't have less satisfying -- had to -- pals around because. Camera -- kind of lag behind stuff as he was spinning round. He can talk a little getting used to do this around with any of this special options dream team and in the mean he's because there is there was that special outfits. Stated that he can choose how are out for a great movies and master of my extended that. And I turn on the past. There's -- GPS like on the road itself. Did I can drive a lot more effectively and I don't know maybe it was just because I could she returns coming sooner and I knew they were coming that they can get mighty returns really easily the camera in my. Since all the streets are streak there yeah. Hair there cables here. Have a car austere little -- they're always going straight down the road so I could lined myself up right in the middle of the road you can just shoot him between traffic -- great feature the cameras so gently swinging. Yeah strength. But I do think that. Overhead works in combat. Some of these years in hiding spot. You can find will be easier and so that's why don't you are targeting to work pretty well too yeah."

" That's -- about dealing real drugs. I thought it was pretty -- that actually that they didn't try and dressed it up -- the first -- I was sort of like. Okay so. What today's kind."

" Talks are basically said we're gonna give you -- TA and basically we're gonna meshes with -- dope wars they did a beautiful job of capturing like the ecology effort. So you do that -- OK there's the guys can get a lot of cash if -- can bring him. Some -- so therefore to go buy some doubters from this dude in this area that I can get into the sky satellite go by simply to display it. You know robbing Peter to pay Paul light plus some -- from."

" There isn't perfect balance it. Actually really appreciated. That method of making money I guess it's because after she retrieved really nice -- signing up with -- over a thousand. You're buying -- they're gonna look like an apartment is like yeah US it escalates things and a the broader economy NTT enabling quicker than anything in the more recent means at Wimbledon -- our current team won't. Man I do like the mechanic at by the PDA thing anyway you can. You can subscribe to RSS feeds from the drug dealers and yeah. It was the month Carey songs on as the right now OK yeah. Thank PM somebody. --"

" I think they sort of overdo it the touch in so little bit like a lot -- it really -- Very no brainer they're very smart thing when you get to one mission to -- and get the sniper rifle on it but I've traveled together and that's that's -- It's out all the technical things like just like the interface lower screen interface and -- radio station for example have to change weapons just manually though it's like to. I'm not the kind of person who really likes to touch screen I think -- and they sort of imply that a lot it is kind of schizophrenic yeah. Some things might be better figure maybe there's silence the most at times -- the stuff."

" I feel like it should just have problems like. Take you DS stylus -- when you're -- bids including your mouth yeah -- going to take it gets a little -- back in digital way that doesn't."

" Well mission early on when you have to see. Him the ball that's the fans of the bombs in the cubs need to -- to and it tonight. The sequence back to events and get the stylus that. You like spinning around lunch with the Oscars and you pull mobilizing opinion and I didn't do the same thing at thinking yeah. Okay. Because this game actually master holding two fingers while I'm still doing everything so -- it's respect isn't or wasn't that you -- it this sort of implying. You just -- reverend -- but it wasn't it's not besides work. Like that but the Hawaiian particularly of that but the old because -- this. The bolts screws and then just buttress the class together. If you if you -- it would make the whole process must -- terrorists and would have looked much better all these little mini games really added a lot to intervene. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody. I remember the names of any of the citizens and of those Italian guy and a variety of Chinese guys that was like. Dumb guy arrogant guy thing drags out -- a guy that sells weight that progressively seem to be getting less taxes in the I mean it. In -- in the damn that was that relatable either in this that we just -- it was guys would only Jones basically and it wasn't really any connection to them which. Probably books are living hand held games the best. Meant more with -- not being -- I think -- think the dialogues when I don't -- of dialogue dangerously cheesy thing. I sort of overly community and its really needs."

" Apparently they didn't like really good job and they -- and very mindful of the BCS game. It doesn't make me hope that when we get it. So the inevitable next its PG TAI hope they go something more like this this these stories. We're just straight lists some of his dismissal that is put -- back they took what they learn from vice city stories which is like. Don't make these long Connolly pass in the most complex thing again is the by the way from this guy's alleged misdeeds they get the -- from this guy's gonna take it back that. Hello this doesn't it guys don't yell tequila oh play vice city stories for his life go ahead and kill this guy company done. And so it lends itself very well to light a candle by this."

" While on the bus and I'll do one mission. That's him. What are you get yeah. And it creates a --"

" That's delicious for."

" It's it has a flurry of chicken. -- it's. A dollar fifty."

" Good ticket. Narrative or it's also still aren't sure a little bit of -- we'll."

" I'm really simple -- happened to her buried others opinions. It's money."

" Well it's. Delicious it's very easy dollars it's. A ball down the street from us out."

" Yeah."

" I'm a star receiver Smith's -- gain actually closing this little strategy game. So again these peace pipe trades in a really convenient it's being. But I'm cool thing is it's -- for the rest of fourth season alive childhood. Early adulthood and Italy leads and basically you're trying to understand and use your stats to battle and other current stars. And so like I can use my name my brain power stats and battle ascetic extreme powers that always is higher than it is right."

" Okay okay."

" Yeah. Three random options hop likes me cards they're -- keep pace. And they can be attacked cards or bonus cards -- good and associates pretty straightforward but the whole thing is that there's all these little intricacies start here and after -- it it's taking it. Over thirty points meaning you and attacking it -- bonus if you attack both players once during the game it we're gonna spin in their. Steelers' staff and other players but if they're stat is that I can't steal that stamp. Kind of balancing your options for its basic yet in his first strategy game goes -- seems deceptively simple -- Next feel like deeper than I thought it was -- started -- just whenever I'm sitting down and everything and anything new on line. I'm always dynamism went back yeah us. Accident last. I think last -- anywhere from like five to ten minutes of me how quickly your thinking around and making your decision you know this government law. And."

" And his his -- has seen anything at parties meant you know it's like. Looking last evening okay Saxon relax. And -- against placing it Leon you're feeling this good his shows he's experienced -- create something else."

" Biggest or strongest family of fan anymore looks like the tundra -- now -- cards to Molly truck doesn't -- you come industry elect what's the stumble lieutenant right there it's the place for you outside it always goes that's where you get Somalia. It -- once every. This is the waves. He would build him watch TV -- it out how to handle it don't you filming it -- at. She's honest and I think it's -- makes want to -- That's a mango with a little bit of everything it's all. Chili -- Hands. Flying blind you suspect purchased the rights to me what like I thought you were gonna hit -- like two dollars -- like that single thing to -- that's got it right earlier beautiful mango. Yet here those situations where you broke. Or just not make it a whole lot of money -- starting a likes when you're starting a company great example odds could be -- little event because. You can eat stuff like that for dollar 75 going to go to Taco Bell or some sort of crappy franchise restaurant. Listen it's not something. I haven't gotten back and look in the mission coming carts -- have bills each year the bells from far away Zito -- for. As much fun program."

" Okay once -- To that effect. Thirty guys finished fifth everyday in the business card that comes eyewitness belted -- live. It's -- yeah defiantly yellow night. Watermelon there's two different objectives. For the that religion is -- doesn't seem like there. Yes."

" The reasons. This is. GO defense. I love tower defense games and I really like playing when the iPod Gilman has some really big favorite of mine and problem and it's not wasn't you it was the only at the two. Tuesday's huge -- is and it was pretty much like a set formula to what I like about this is every all the levels -- different depending on what stage -- playing the -- in all these -- sometimes are nearly a certain amount powers available to you other times you can only -- Purchase one certain amount of times with creeps move faster with a stronger different levels of waves. That you're going to have accomplished so everyone has sort of objective to exceed I have to switch -- play every time -- money -- and the levels and an athlete who were towers -- edit it right here in the beginning utility company waves how many lives you have a much cash could start with. -- that you destroy you have to get -- lot of money accident it's the same deal of place in the towers upgrading the tower -- accommodations that works it's a lot of trial and her mom. Which kinda sucks about a -- Smith tower defense and a warning earlier this is just incredibly hard. The -- and went -- of that yeah like when I first when I read the description of the -- thinking man's. Tower defense and therefore it is good to be easy stages. It gets incredibly difficult leg Ivan -- evidently a lot of 2030 times old. Yeah like really really."

" Yeah oh yeah that is that they didn't know that sounds from him it's virtually that I saw I read about it nick -- center winner about it -- on all the games that way -- you -- on totally view to a program that. It's a drop seven basically we put the numbers being in a row or column. If there's that many things in that row or column ended the lead then numbers though so right now later got a six. Conceded this Biden is palm's having confidence that they're going to lead and obviously -- locally as well over all these these great circles you got -- Put a number one next to it in haven't exploded -- like blows it up a little bit halfway and then once you do it again then it blows up in it becomes a number and so now an extra bit of complexity to the -- I've only just begun playing it. And right now it's like. It's it's just the perfect event complexity for me -- this this game is like. The exact opposite where time is totally of the essence death it's got toppled two hits by in Juno -- you ground Islamist militants and he kind of like set them up in the ideas to build a tower it's kind like gender or something right yeah yeah with a really good art direction. Where you build this tower in credit hope that it doesn't fall. Like they look worried too when I don't know like. On them. I'm nervous and I really like the physics and I really like you know trying to -- these. He's dumb objects on top of each other in other words those like this game gets really -- oh yeah. How -- worldview where you -- fast. It sometimes helps you out because. It's not like it's on earth and earth business and you have to try a little weird yeah you do you have the ability heavily. -- fault for this career list is really there really isn't awful path it's not something that would play for sixty hours or anything but. -- keep them alive again I think the production value on it alone makes it worth checking out again food you know which is the I think it's awful is done. -- a lot of it was illnesses. Dropped seven and it can't be any more than 299 so it's it's definitely less than that. All they mostly in that by and that being around three dollars Atlanta -- don't know is that my -- the teams that don't 999. Removal order played -- for since. I don't. Play any of them all that much I have always really excited when I do giving -- and the biggest led them Easter Ellis or whatever I've heard about I actually have now. That is ridiculous I mean almost anything you tell you it is just get that game it's like perfect game got just really fun great music great sound great partner and good multi touch him Clinton yeah."

" What's wrong Billy no money for -- gains. Will try to -- fly. Game -- is the largest online video game rental service and offers you choice of over 6000 new classic titles across all -- and with plans starting at 59 to five months game plan members have been wonderful workings and it's time to keep it."

" Can send us."

" My my favorite thing about this game. Well there's lots of good things about it came on 2004. In June 14 read before half life -- He's still looks great it's still think like I was a web site I've ever played -- your -- so this is my first experience I think this. And forgetting most of the time it's technically it last gen game."

" Especially bush -- days. Would PC version of -- must -- me so what you're after the Xbox red available -- Roy eighteen minute what do you do robots in sequence to -- very much the same game was right and like I really thought that. Especially -- Jimmy was really effective in the way that it had training in play. And every one every time it was fun even when they took away make sense of what. Are they took away my guns -- like both sweet now I get a member gonna set me for the budget still sequences like -- nice kill people it's it's."

" On going that's like going you know I appreciate it because you know if he really. Kids get get familiar with the stealth combat you know and then once you become you know Howard -- really regularly handled them I'm not a fan of self interest at all but I somehow put your -- on his game that. It made me appreciate the style sequences even though I don't generally like self employed. I'm and they weren't too frustrating that kind of like the kind of forgiving it's easy to lose the guards beating cod. And it's easy to I mean it's as easy to pull off really satisfying sell --"

" So it actually good the first time I was playing and I stopped. Because I thought it was frustrating. And I was in the mine sequence there were a bunch parts I was just like -- budget creates hearing. -- them John DiMaggio and they're saying like -- here and now prisoner. --"

" They -- your. Shoulders now."

" But this time I watch is playing more spell the end I don't know buses it quick -- that it didn't respond well. Basically. Not spotted the entire offensive sequence that was one of the escape the experience of having yours is probably my favorite stuffed it. Ever."

" Beginning half of which -- days. It's not super open and it's pretty straightforward Linear but once you get that that's that -- sort of hope area in the second prison camp and then reminds surrounding him. He didn't really opens up and you get to approach it in whatever -- best -- it comes to mind again argument minds -- when you at least you. Go through this menu come down on top of his."

" Elevator in the elevators are moving down that you didn't mind. And you can see because there's some holes in -- young student walked out. And you know ordinarily would cost down and hopefully stealth -- one of them until the other guy and I'm kind of make your way into the mines. This time accident I was looking around on top of the elevator and found event that I can open with eventful. I hop in this -- system and there was the whole series of rooms and everything's on the first -- was my game. -- which are totally set numbers and polls don't game -- speaker owes you one of the ventilation shaft I did it get -- the reasons I suspect that -- They and then and then you know I've -- not just aren't as dark eniac. And thus far -- hasn't been over my dad it's more like the beginning with the today where he knows it's it's very very straightforward very Linear."

" Unfortunately I don't spoil it for you it doesn't really ever -- and it's kind of gets worse as it goes. They kind of the kind of start throwing away cellphone lot more experience. Especially near the second half of it. I guess the way the way it feels to me and I know pockets everything handed them a while back about -- Nevada. That's what happened with Vivendi getting spot right -- they got there are kind of what I'm gonna tell us target them up. They had a that a bunch of free time so I think originally this is only going to be a little like maybe three or four hour edition right to put your day. But then it had more times that kind of -- on an extra hard and it seems like the second half. This dark -- they didn't have enough time to polish it the whether they did the first half. Because it just ends up. Feeling I'll take credit it's not it's not the kind of things that I loved about what you're saying does this really disappeared that's a half."

" But the point I mean he does and you there's a certain point where you -- been the experience of the pretty definitive and yes yet been happy to have. Yet -- credits. Right and on the board game thousands like once it was there is really like this is where they were going to happen. Like the way we have a few extra months -- let's. Is upon that lesson that character with a spike -- from their Iowa and I thought well why does the public after. Having just finished. Jermaine put your faith and it feels like the final words or actually yeah it does well I agree it has some of that when it looks like. Andy after the robbery indignant that the sequences that have ever seen in the game and there's another one after that two minutes it's pretty good as well the difference is really just in butcher bay you want to."

" To keep going and then it does and that's really satisfying whereas in -- that they would have ended -- the part where I thought they're ending. I feel like overall sort of had a better if I would've been left with a better impression and even though -- about charter right."

" I think that ending -- that you guys seem to know like so much actually kind of done. And I think they the only reason I doubt it is because they give you and god guns that allows you to relax you to move through the rest of the game so even though. It's really light on the still sequences I felt that that that they at least balance that out by giving me a -- it's like. Fun to use."

" You know market caught its."

" Groups are. That's one -- I mean they're -- they're dumb one liners that you think of yourself like. Is this guy understated scene and it seems like he should say something super lame and usually turns out to be like. Kind of awesome it'll it'll have always like to teetering on the edge of self parody was never quite like all. -- yeah. Yeah."

" I mean he's doing."

" There're battles and sometimes maybe just fighting has one or two guys but. You know if let's say you have. Just your hands and even that's that's more about what Mike -- something like that you know you can. -- a guy and attacked him and basically swing and flailing and actually kill him probably take about to damage from war with what I'm button presses you know. The counter and it still feels nuts thing which. Make you feel like you're not so help us even though just one guy -- no weapons and these these places throughout this one guy those."

" Rich that's -- there that doubt as bad as to do another desperate days as an independent. Argentina is more future focused in on -- open ended and they don't give you as many opportunities to stop the years ago when you're going through. But did you give you -- locksmith at the beginning which are like this bartender and weapons. Way easier to kill. Standard -- any single weapon from. And then forced into -- I think he's back in the audience."

" And there at the reversals so it's every single melee weapon. Has its own two or three rehearsals and its -- to -- stealth kills. So you're constantly getting a variety of experiences just by changing up the weapons -- charging -- situations. And they my favorite one is with the locks when you I think it's a -- he -- and a couple Palestinian visit their goal and a penny just stands there."

" Let's go to like fall off -- Did you also change apparently affected you know lot with they'll achieve and then they have little sections retake control of we now have a Mac thing they have -- very thankful -- around those those were fairly well I thought I was felt I guess. Because you're not controlling -- the shooting style or natural health of and that it was it was focusing on the shooting in the sections the -- and and also like it is just. Neat you know liquid and when you're controlling -- just -- on the volume I don't care right guy that was unlikely you have to you know -- the fan and I was like. Well you can't possibly mean -- tried it. Please let's open and -- like. It also -- so we'll."

" Actually some I do enjoy this thing going combat more than I would've expected to go -- mean sometimes you feel like god this I've. Did I read this guy with this machine gun for really really long time but if you ducked down and came right there had to pull off one shot. It usually down for a moment that on the wants to. I really appreciate. First person games that really Amber's name that character -- pregnancy my arms and my legs and does the voice acting and I was thinking and dialog especially in Argentina what she gets the part words -- all people all of those prisoners in the wells at some there's some. Really really. Outstanding. Voice work in -- working there."

" There should become stations all of the ship. Try to find what you do. Punching and G four to four to contact me and my people -- remotely choose."

" Jailers think sort of goes around and oh yeah that's yeah yeah yeah. Dude like I lose like ripping -- for what's -- that I mean Phelps all the way to predilection. The deal is yet another news over the -- of -- everything else you can these dual us. Should be who -- With excitement. -- need to run their current burn burn Aaron."

" I don't -- Yeah."

" comment just a leg -- I don't it was really like his -- with the Chicago law evidently it wanted to combine just click on what he stayed next to you know again we're just think. -- I'm glad you liked the I mean if you come off select all out. Like you know sports character but all stand here and hooligans gonna stone basin is Gus -- another ship on their -- they need to speculate. -- you like although a minute before. And vision forever dialog scene news week's news who have -- debate dialogue candidate emotion across."

" I'm just glad everytime -- that way and again because it really makes it feel like. As you know we -- we've come so far you know from from. You know -- years ago Monday as the Pacifica."

" custom made bloody show she. Cut through barely noticeable for who made."

" This game reminded me and especially -- your butcher -- again how much I really appreciate star breezes mix where. Let's get those shooting in the first person stuff like 100% right or as close as we can get it. And then put in these like. Few little adventure in elements is really breaks of the painting there's enough money system and file items yeah what did -- little dialogue trees and what a little bit everything it and then. So do that play but I don't want to say like. Obviously this differently today. Escape from today -- I don't except it's whether it's an uncertain after coming through. What is whatever spaced out -- going through all parts of its sewers every everywhere you can possibly imagine and -- Finally emerging and seem like I reds guy with like transports. You know I was like I felt like I had actually escaped from its just highly of highly of its its -- really really. I am glad that we're of people are gonna get a second chance the."

" And again for the first half of them and well and also to test to be -- Butcher bay market in it together in one package is. It's like the best value that I see in real yeah yeah -- so -- your money even -- the view notwithstanding -- kind of irrelevant multiple hear her bread is I had no interest ruined now means that it doesn't even matter that it's and there are those like him. --"

" Yeah."

" I told you I thought he told you other mission would provide you less all of these devices. And cheese. It's. One bit yeah and I believe that her pocket. -- from -- answer another mission has much more to provide really. Lesson number two is coming up. I don't know really what's what's more fat fat. Now. You're not ready for an act after all that god and a half ago -- is my bill -- numbers. Well it's apparently. Look into it robs you and written yet. And."

" War. Don't go up is what you're buying. Squarespace. Good job and de -- It -- only 7008. As the only honorable and it is."

" His car that's disgusting. Is this just sounds delicious. I would shoot me in supplies now Sony music and dance. Details. Next -- yeah. Does that. Yeah yeah. Like yeah. You happens -- correct assistance. Yeah. -- Closed its doors yeah. Quite cost beautiful yeah I saw. It's is now."

" like you -- Yes this is. Restricting the Big East. And now opportunities. I'm a little money and she didn't think dolls unity -- I kind of brown. Proved today. Yet you know actively work -- you yeah. -- yeah. We live in Michigan there in San Francisco and did we can get really great movie she sued big really big yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah."

" It's."

" It's good luck that's an. I think. Our Internet. Harder it is it's needed it and you missed it. What I want to know if you guys it's units and review anything thing. What did you really expect from -- and ours was first announced it expected to be some sort of -- option -- that would then."

" We GT eight to abuse and it's an innocence that apple was so good that want an. I love that 11969. They with a sort of first TD loans that went much -- badly when. Further within that they top of the graphics amazing kind of the associated look. I like that."

Proving ground I couldn't help but -- act doesn't like that Tony -- styled as I was born into town of course it."

" Yeah this is an improvement via records and stuff on TS and it works much better on. There's no way you can even attempt to do something and TT or even like the PS field. -- work and I just love how detailed it is you know you have people walking around the city and they see things as you go find it. Cars where and I can see crowd. My -- from underneath it doesn't. There isn't. Tourists on the side of the street taking pictures of landmarks to -- They really do all the kind of stuff that you expected GT eight game to have in order to give it city flavor and it all works. It wasn't wild about. The fact that it kind of made a point of being 3-D so much that -- they -- because -- didn't have less satisfying -- had to -- pals around because.

Since all the streets are streak there yeah. Hair there cables here. Have a car austere little -- they're always going straight down the road so I could lined myself up right in the middle of the road you can just shoot him between traffic -- great feature the cameras so gently swinging. Yeah strength. But I do think that. Overhead works in combat. Some of these years in hiding spot. You can find will be easier and so that's why don't you are targeting to work pretty well too yeah."

" That's -- about dealing real drugs. I thought it was pretty -- that actually that they didn't try and dressed it up -- the first -- I was sort of like. Okay so. What today's kind."

" Talks are basically said we're gonna give you -- TA and basically we're gonna meshes with -- dope wars they did a beautiful job of capturing like the ecology effort. So you do that -- OK there's the guys can get a lot of cash if -- can bring him.

Thank PM somebody. --"

" I think they sort of overdo it the touch in so little bit like a lot -- it really -- Very no brainer they're very smart thing when you get to one mission to -- and get the sniper rifle on it but I've traveled together and that's that's -- It's out all the technical things like just like the interface lower screen interface and -- radio station for example have to change weapons just manually though it's like to. I'm not the kind of person who really likes to touch screen I think -- and they sort of imply that a lot it is kind of schizophrenic yeah. Some things might be better figure maybe there's silence the most at times -- the stuff."

" I feel like it should just have problems like. Take you DS stylus -- when you're -- bids including your mouth yeah -- going to take it gets a little -- back in digital way that doesn't."

" Well mission early on when you have to see. Him the ball that's the fans of the bombs in the cubs need to -- to and it tonight. The sequence back to events and get the stylus that. You like spinning around lunch with the Oscars and you pull mobilizing opinion and I didn't do the same thing at thinking yeah. Okay. Because this game actually master holding two fingers while I'm still doing everything so -- it's respect isn't or wasn't that you -- it this sort of implying. You just -- reverend -- but it wasn't it's not besides work. Like that but the Hawaiian particularly of that but the old because -- this. The bolts screws and then just buttress the class together. If you if you -- it would make the whole process must -- terrorists and would have looked much better all these little mini games really added a lot to intervene. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody.

Dumb guy arrogant guy thing drags out -- a guy that sells weight that progressively seem to be getting less taxes in the I mean it. In -- in the damn that was that relatable either in this that we just -- it was guys would only Jones basically and it wasn't really any connection to them which. Probably books are living hand held games the best. Meant more with -- not being -- I think -- think the dialogues when I don't -- of dialogue dangerously cheesy thing. I sort of overly community and its really needs."

" Apparently they didn't like really good job and they -- and very mindful of the BCS game. It doesn't make me hope that when we get it. So the inevitable next its PG TAI hope they go something more like this this these stories. We're just straight lists some of his dismissal that is put -- back they took what they learn from vice city stories which is like. Don't make these long Connolly pass in the most complex thing again is the by the way from this guy's alleged misdeeds they get the -- from this guy's gonna take it back that. Hello this doesn't it guys don't yell tequila oh play vice city stories for his life go ahead and kill this guy company done. And so it lends itself very well to light a candle by this."

I love tower defense games and I really like playing when the iPod Gilman has some really big favorite of mine and problem and it's not wasn't you it was the only at the two. Tuesday's huge -- is and it was pretty much like a set formula to what I like about this is every all the levels -- different depending on what stage -- playing the -- in all these -- sometimes are nearly a certain amount powers available to you other times you can only -- Purchase one certain amount of times with creeps move faster with a stronger different levels of waves. That you're going to have accomplished so everyone has sort of objective to exceed I have to switch -- play every time -- money -- and the levels and an athlete who were towers -- edit it right here in the beginning utility company waves how many lives you have a much cash could start with. -- that you destroy you have to get -- lot of money accident it's the same deal of place in the towers upgrading the tower -- accommodations that works it's a lot of trial and her mom. Which kinda sucks about a -- Smith tower defense and a warning earlier this is just incredibly hard.

Conceded this Biden is palm's having confidence that they're going to lead and obviously -- locally as well over all these these great circles you got -- Put a number one next to it in haven't exploded -- like blows it up a little bit halfway and then once you do it again then it blows up in it becomes a number and so now an extra bit of complexity to the -- I've only just begun playing it. And right now it's like. It's it's just the perfect event complexity for me -- this this game is like. The exact opposite where time is totally of the essence death it's got toppled two hits by in Juno -- you ground Islamist militants and he kind of like set them up in the ideas to build a tower it's kind like gender or something right yeah yeah with a really good art direction.

Play any of them all that much I have always really excited when I do giving -- and the biggest led them Easter Ellis or whatever I've heard about I actually have now.

" My my favorite thing about this game. Well there's lots of good things about it came on 2004. In June 14 read before half life -- He's still looks great it's still think like I was a web site I've ever played -- your -- so this is my first experience I think this. And forgetting most of the time it's technically it last gen game."

" Especially bush -- days. Would PC version of -- must -- me so what you're after the Xbox red available -- Roy eighteen minute what do you do robots in sequence to -- very much the same game was right and like I really thought that. Especially -- Jimmy was really effective in the way that it had training in play. And every one every time it was fun even when they took away make sense of what. Are they took away my guns -- like both sweet now I get a member gonna set me for the budget still sequences like -- nice kill people it's it's."

" On going that's like going you know I appreciate it because you know if he really. Kids get get familiar with the stealth combat you know and then once you become you know Howard -- really regularly handled them I'm not a fan of self interest at all but I somehow put your -- on his game that. It made me appreciate the style sequences even though I don't generally like self employed. I'm and they weren't too frustrating that kind of like the kind of forgiving it's easy to lose the guards beating cod. And it's easy to I mean it's as easy to pull off really satisfying sell --"

" So it actually good the first time I was playing and I stopped. Because I thought it was frustrating. And I was in the mine sequence there were a bunch parts I was just like -- budget creates hearing. -- them John DiMaggio and they're saying like -- here and now prisoner. --"

" They -- your. Shoulders now."

" But this time I watch is playing more spell the end I don't know buses it quick -- that it didn't respond well. Basically. Not spotted the entire offensive sequence that was one of the escape the experience of having yours is probably my favorite stuffed it. Ever."

" Beginning half of which -- days. It's not super open and it's pretty straightforward Linear but once you get that that's that -- sort of hope area in the second prison camp and then reminds surrounding him. He didn't really opens up and you get to approach it in whatever -- best -- it comes to mind again argument minds -- when you at least you. Go through this menu come down on top of his."

" Elevator in the elevators are moving down that you didn't mind. And you can see because there's some holes in -- young student walked out. And you know ordinarily would cost down and hopefully stealth -- one of them until the other guy and I'm kind of make your way into the mines. This time accident I was looking around on top of the elevator and found event that I can open with eventful. I hop in this -- system and there was the whole series of rooms and everything's on the first -- was my game. -- which are totally set numbers and polls don't game -- speaker owes you one of the ventilation shaft I did it get -- the reasons I suspect that -- They and then and then you know I've -- not just aren't as dark eniac. And thus far -- hasn't been over my dad it's more like the beginning with the today where he knows it's it's very very straightforward very Linear."

" Unfortunately I don't spoil it for you it doesn't really ever -- and it's kind of gets worse as it goes. They kind of the kind of start throwing away cellphone lot more experience. Especially near the second half of it. I guess the way the way it feels to me and I know pockets everything handed them a while back about -- Nevada. That's what happened with Vivendi getting spot right -- they got there are kind of what I'm gonna tell us target them up. They had a that a bunch of free time so I think originally this is only going to be a little like maybe three or four hour edition right to put your day. But then it had more times that kind of -- on an extra hard and it seems like the second half. This dark -- they didn't have enough time to polish it the whether they did the first half. Because it just ends up. Feeling I'll take credit it's not it's not the kind of things that I loved about what you're saying does this really disappeared that's a half."

" But the point I mean he does and you there's a certain point where you -- been the experience of the pretty definitive and yes yet been happy to have. Yet -- credits. Right and on the board game thousands like once it was there is really like this is where they were going to happen. Like the way we have a few extra months -- let's. Is upon that lesson that character with a spike -- from their Iowa and I thought well why does the public after. Having just finished. Jermaine put your faith and it feels like the final words or actually yeah it does well I agree it has some of that when it looks like. Andy after the robbery indignant that the sequences that have ever seen in the game and there's another one after that two minutes it's pretty good as well the difference is really just in butcher bay you want to."

" To keep going and then it does and that's really satisfying whereas in -- that they would have ended -- the part where I thought they're ending. I feel like overall sort of had a better if I would've been left with a better impression and even though -- about charter right."

" I think that ending -- that you guys seem to know like so much actually kind of done. And I think they the only reason I doubt it is because they give you and god guns that allows you to relax you to move through the rest of the game so even though. It's really light on the still sequences I felt that that that they at least balance that out by giving me a -- it's like. Fun to use."

" You know market caught its."

" Groups are. That's one -- I mean they're -- they're dumb one liners that you think of yourself like. Is this guy understated scene and it seems like he should say something super lame and usually turns out to be like. Kind of awesome it'll it'll have always like to teetering on the edge of self parody was never quite like all. -- yeah. Yeah."

" I mean he's doing."

" There're battles and sometimes maybe just fighting has one or two guys but. You know if let's say you have. Just your hands and even that's that's more about what Mike -- something like that you know you can. -- a guy and attacked him and basically swing and flailing and actually kill him probably take about to damage from war with what I'm button presses you know. The counter and it still feels nuts thing which. Make you feel like you're not so help us even though just one guy -- no weapons and these these places throughout this one guy those."

" Rich that's -- there that doubt as bad as to do another desperate days as an independent. Argentina is more future focused in on -- open ended and they don't give you as many opportunities to stop the years ago when you're going through. But did you give you -- locksmith at the beginning which are like this bartender and weapons. Way easier to kill. Standard -- any single weapon from. And then forced into -- I think he's back in the audience."

" And there at the reversals so it's every single melee weapon. Has its own two or three rehearsals and its -- to -- stealth kills. So you're constantly getting a variety of experiences just by changing up the weapons -- charging -- situations. And they my favorite one is with the locks when you I think it's a -- he -- and a couple Palestinian visit their goal and a penny just stands there."

" Let's go to like fall off -- Did you also change apparently affected you know lot with they'll achieve and then they have little sections retake control of we now have a Mac thing they have -- very thankful -- around those those were fairly well I thought I was felt I guess. Because you're not controlling -- the shooting style or natural health of and that it was it was focusing on the shooting in the sections the -- and and also like it is just. Neat you know liquid and when you're controlling -- just -- on the volume I don't care right guy that was unlikely you have to you know -- the fan and I was like. Well you can't possibly mean -- tried it. Please let's open and -- like. It also -- so we'll."

" Actually some I do enjoy this thing going combat more than I would've expected to go -- mean sometimes you feel like god this I've. Did I read this guy with this machine gun for really really long time but if you ducked down and came right there had to pull off one shot. It usually down for a moment that on the wants to. I really appreciate. First person games that really Amber's name that character -- pregnancy my arms and my legs and does the voice acting and I was thinking and dialog especially in Argentina what she gets the part words -- all people all of those prisoners in the wells at some there's some. Really really. Outstanding. Voice work in -- working there."

" There should become stations all of the ship. Try to find what you do. Punching and G four to four to contact me and my people -- remotely choose."

" Jailers think sort of goes around and oh yeah that's yeah yeah yeah. Dude like I lose like ripping -- for what's -- that I mean Phelps all the way to predilection. The deal is yet another news over the -- of -- everything else you can these dual us. Should be who -- With excitement. -- need to run their current burn burn Aaron."

" I don't -- Yeah."

" comment just a leg -- I don't it was really like his -- with the Chicago law evidently it wanted to combine just click on what he stayed next to you know again we're just think. -- I'm glad you liked the I mean if you come off select all out. Like you know sports character but all stand here and hooligans gonna stone basin is Gus -- another ship on their -- they need to speculate. -- you like although a minute before. And vision forever dialog scene news week's news who have -- debate dialogue candidate emotion across."

" I'm just glad everytime -- that way and again because it really makes it feel like. As you know we -- we've come so far you know from from. You know -- years ago Monday as the Pacifica."

" custom made bloody show she. Cut through barely noticeable for who made."

" This game reminded me and especially -- your butcher -- again how much I really appreciate star breezes mix where. Let's get those shooting in the first person stuff like 100% right or as close as we can get it. And then put in these like. Few little adventure in elements is really breaks of the painting there's enough money system and file items yeah what did -- little dialogue trees and what a little bit everything it and then. So do that play but I don't want to say like. Obviously this differently today. Escape from today -- I don't except it's whether it's an uncertain after coming through. What is whatever spaced out -- going through all parts of its sewers every everywhere you can possibly imagine and -- Finally emerging and seem like I reds guy with like transports. You know I was like I felt like I had actually escaped from its just highly of highly of its its -- really really. I am glad that we're of people are gonna get a second chance the."

" And again for the first half of them and well and also to test to be -- Butcher bay market in it together in one package is. It's like the best value that I see in real yeah yeah -- so -- your money even -- the view notwithstanding -- kind of irrelevant multiple hear her bread is I had no interest ruined now means that it doesn't even matter that it's and there are those like him. --"

" Yeah."

" I told you I thought he told you other mission would provide you less all of these devices. And cheese. It's. One bit yeah and I believe that her pocket. -- from -- answer another mission has much more to provide really. Lesson number two is coming up. I don't know really what's what's more fat fat. Now. You're not ready for an act after all that god and a half ago -- is my bill -- numbers. Well it's apparently. Look into it robs you and written yet. And."

Episode 107 Mother Mission - COR: Dark Athena, GTA: CW, iPhone Favorites [Discussion]

Didn't see a post pop up yet so I'm making my own for my own show... hope that's not bad form or something ;). I'm curious to know what you all think about the iPhone coverage. We were reluctant to do off-screen coverage, but iPhone games are particularly hard to do video of. There are some solutions using jailbroken phones, but with tilt and touch, capturing direct-feed video is actually less-than-optimal.

Also, special thanks to Brad Shoemaker from GiantBomb and Ray Barnholt from 1UP for making their first appearance on CO-OP!

-----------------------
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and GTA: Chinatown Wars. Also, iPhone games! Karma Star, geoDefense, Topple 2, Drop7, Eliss, and Field Runners.

I loved this episode, and even though I don't have an iphone. I think it's something that can't be ignored. Iphone games have some scary price points by the way. Scary as in I would probably spend so much money on those games without realizing it. That's the genius of it though.

Maybe I'm slow.....but now I see a connection between that and the local eateries in the mission district. The benefits of small business producing cheap quality product.

Also, being someone who grew up in the mission district, I really appreciated those segments. The best burrito I ever had was from there.

Really enjoyed the episode, great to see Ray and Brad on the show, I'm really liking that not being on 1UP is allowing people from all over to appear on the show makes the discussions a bit more interesting.

Personally I don't have an iPhone or an iPod touch, nor to I expect to have one in the near future, so to me the iPhone coverage isn't quite as interesting or useful. However I did enjoy actually getting to SEE some of these games I've heard about on various podcasts and such, nice to have a reference point.

Also liking that the show was a bit longer than usual, I think around 45 mins (sometimes longer) is great for the show.

I'm glad you guys didn't find that bacon-wrapped hotdog stand. That would mean instant heart attack which would lead to instant death which would mean no more CO-OP--but what do I know? I don't even play a doctor on TV.

That food guide was a cool idea, even if it seemed a bit odd for the show. I guess it further establishes CO-OP isn't bound by any set rules/form, which is a big reason why it's so damn good. Wish you guys did the guide in my city (Austin). $1.50 tacos that look that good are hard to come by.

COR is one of my favorite games and I can't wait to pick it up again in HD, later this year. Although, I don't really agree that the shooting, stealth, or adventuring are as good alone as they are in other games. Take any element by itself in Riddick and it's not so great; it's the combination of all those things that makes the overall package so damn great. It's pacing and variety is superior to even Half-Life 2 (I'm not saying its all around the better game though). I'm a bit disappointed that you guys shit on the multiplayer. I haven't played it but when I heard the initial concept of Riddick with night vision versus a team of soldiers with only flashlights I though that sounded pretty great. Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer wasn't nearly as innovative or in-tune with the single player experience.

Keep it up guys. Any info on how long this season is going to be or are you going to just go non-stop like the other Rev3 shows? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, being that the editing and cinematography are only getting more developed this time around.

All that cheap delicious food. You guys have made me hate where I live.

The quality of the footage looked exceptionally great this episode. I don't know why. Maybe it was the color correction or something, but I was loving it.

I'm glad you guys are touching (no pun intended) on iPhone games. Appreciate trying at least, even if it's difficult to capture, which I thought you did great with. I'm on the same boat as you guys. I might not play these games for hours on end, but give me something interesting at a low price point, and I can't help but buy it. But I'm a $.99 guy. $2 is still too rich for my blood.

This episode was awesome. It had an exceptional organic feeling of fun to it. All of the going and getting food made me feel like I was going on an adventure. It also made me super hungry for a hearty meal.

The Chronicles of Riddick talk was very cool. This game is still awesome after 5 years. The atmosphere it creates is what really makes it stand out to me.

I don't have an iphone(yet) but those segments made wish I had one. I'm missing out on all the disposable fun. I think the iphone segments came out very well.

Again this episode had the an awesome organic touch I hope continues.

Great episode. I thought the search for good cheap food bits were great. I'm not familiar at all with San Fransisco besides pictures or videos, but the areas of the city shown here look like a place I'd want to live. I really need to go to San Fran sometime. Anyway, keep up the awesome job guys I'm really loving the show more and more every week.

Awesome Episode. Whenever I take BART to work, I get off either at the 16th and Mission or 24th and Mission station and either walk or take a shuttle to work (San Francisco General). And I swear, I have to get something new every time. But my favorite food would have to be the burritos at El Farolito. I mean, there's a bunch of places there to get a burrito, but this place always has long lines. And I see the same group of SFPD officers eating there. If you haven't tried it yet, GO NOW!

Good Stuff

Great show, I don't have an iPhone but as a gamer it's always cool to see new ideas and executions regardless of the medium.
Also, love the creative ads - actually makes me sit through and watch the ad scenes as they're entertaining. I'm gonna have to register a domain name or something in support, cause I already have the other services :)

Great episode - keep up the goodness!
