Hey everybody! Tonight we’ve got a quick show with two crippled hosts as Modeps, Pwnophobia, and Kragg get you up to date on what they’ve been playing. First Kragg gives a quick review of Killzone 3, and then Pwnophobia talks a bit about Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Is it better than Super Street Fighter 4? Not sure, but we learn not to pick up the Xbox 360 while it’s spinning inside. Then Modeps and Kragg talk a little more about their new found addiction to Rift. “Head Start” began last week and the servers are fully inundated with millions of MMO junkies. Finally, Modeps lets us know that one game he won’t be playing much of is De Blob 2, which is apparently a repetitive nightmare of colors and jazz fusion. Or maybe it’s just a bad acid trip… All this, your emails, and weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!

Hey this is Jim,

I can't E-mail the show however I did have a question. I just played through Bulletstorm and although it was a fun game I beat the campaign and three stared all the echos in a very short amount of time (about 10 hours). I rented the game and I am glad I did so. I enjoyed the game and for $6.00 I feel I got my money out of it. However it would have made me angry had I pruchased this game. So my question is there any incentive for a developer to make a game that is essenitally a rental. I'm sure alot of people bought bulletstorm but for me there was little content to actually push me to purchase the game. Also I was upset to see no co-op in the game and no ability to play 2 players on the same console which was disapointing. Also do you think duke Nukem will be this type of game and is there any talk of having and co-op or multiplayer in Duke Nukem? I would to play this game just think it will fall under the rental category given that it has had many problems and the game that came out from the save developer last is very similar and did not offer enough to make me want to own that game.
