TGS Special -- Final Fantasy XIII, Crackdown 2, Dead Rising 2, and More

Monday, October 5th, 2009 – running time 45:25
Only one of us got to go to TGS this year, but that doesn't mean we didn't get to bring home the goods! In this special episode of CO-OP we round up the big announcements as well as dive into two games: Deadspace Extraction and Scribblenauts.

Segments

The Tokyo Game Show was "interesting" this year for a myriad of reasons. Our special episode covering TGS doesn't have a narrative as we normally do and instead focuses on rounding-up the games from the show as well as bringing in two full-on segments for Deadspace Extraction and Scribblenauts. We're on a brief vacation, next week will be a short episode and we'll be back with a full-on season premiere on the 20th!

DEADSPACE EXTRACTION

Justin Haywald of 1UP fame joins our crew for both full-on game chats, the first of which is the Wii prequel to one of last-year's best games. More than a mere "light gun" game, Ryan, JayFresh, and Justin all agree that this game should sell way more units than it probably will.

TOKYO GAME SHOW WRAPUP

Hmm, how's this list strike you? Final Fantasy XIII, Crackdown 2, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2,Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Last Guardian and some anecdotes about Project Natal on the show floor. Many thanks to David Ellis, also of 1UP for coming by and sharing his thoughts and some of his game footage with us!

SCRIBBLENAUTS

Justin Haywald of 1UP again joins us for a talk about a game that should have been so much better than it is. Sadly, Matt and Justin both agree that Scribblenauts is an amazing idea harmed irrevocably by poor execution.

As I was actually about to re-watch the program on my iPod to see where I missed the FF13 talk, thank you for confirming that it didn't get more than the passing reference that I remembered.
