Back from another break, Alon publicly deals with his internal conflict over digitally distributed console games; it's a love/hate thing. Rich takes an unexpected phone call from Ron Workman, cofounder of Destructoid.com, to discuss plans for the upcoming CES. There's also a little discussion about Adam Sessler's recent Soapbox rant about complaints of violence in games.

Got an iPhone? Like games? Too bad the games that sound good usually suck. You know what else is pretty lame? PlayStation Home and it's microtransaction economy. What else could we complain about this week? Well, to complete the trinity of lame, please enjoy our argument about narrative in games, based on a little commentary by Steven Spielberg.

After a short hiatus, we're back in action. This week's discussion surrounds an article on Gamasutra that digs into the used games economy and the opposing viewpoints. Basically, it's GameStop vs Publishers, otherwise known as The Man vs The Man.

This week, we brought in Chad from PlaySwitch.com to talk about the game trading market he helped to create. It's another site intended to bring together buyers and sellers of used games. You know, a way to take down the man, a man named GameStop. If you try it, let us know what you think. PS - some of the audio in this episode kind of sucks... won't happen again. For cereal.

LittleBIGPlanet is still totally awesome, and you should be playing it right now. When you're not playing it, you can listen to our show. This week you'll hear us interview Jon Dean, Executive Producer at EA Salt Lake, who talks with us (and his Producer friend, Jeff) about the commonly negative stigma of licensed games.
