Todd is off gallivanting in Sweden but Tom Chick stops by to talk about his recent decision to review games exclusively for Quarter To Three and how that ties in to the current changes in games journalism. After that we talk some Kingdoms of Amalur, the Saints Row 3 DLC, Scary Girl, the Mage Knight board game and why the Eastern Front is just not fun.

With all of us, well all but Danielle, in the thrall of Ascension, we take some time to talk about the digital board gaming revolution currently taking place on the iPad. What games work, what don't, and what would happen if Todd suggested to Bill's gaming group that they play Ticket to Ride. Here's a hint, it ain't pretty. Then Danielle talks about the joys of downloadable games on the 3DS and we talk a little about the Fiona uber-table from CES.

It's a brand new year and a brand new format for Jumping the Shark! Bill, Danielle, Todd and Brandon get together to talk about their most anticipated games of 2012, a little Skyrim, a little Dance Central 2, some Star Wars: The Old Republic and why Tom Chick is not the right person to challenge to a game of Ascension.

It's been a long tough week of vacationing for the Jumping the Shark crew, with Brandon and Danielle each taking a well-earned week off, but Todd, Bill, and Tom Chick hold down the fort just in time to ring in the new year. This week, Bill feels the age in the bones of Assassin's Creed: Revelations and wonders just why Ezio doesn't seem to as well. Tom tells us why All Zombies Must Die and shares with us the single strangest reason we've ever heard for having given the Gears of War season pass a tryout. And Todd sinks deeper and deeper into the galactic politics of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Start 2012 off right, with Episode 104 of Jumping the Shark. 

No Bill this week, but Tom Chick joins us for our Best of 2011 awards. Before that we talk Zelda: Skyward Sword, Batman: Arkham City, Ascension, Driver: SF, Star Wars: The Old Republic and probably a ton of other things too. It was a busy night.

Let the airing of greivances begin! Danielle isn't gone, so her optimism isn't here to bouy our constant complaining as we unveil the worst of 2011. Worst game, most disappointing, most overrated, it's all here. Along the way Todd talks more Skyrim, Bill gets into Saints Row: The Third and Brandon returns to New Marais with inFAMOUS 2: Festival of Blood.

Have you ever played a game that everyone said was the bees' knees but then found yourself wondering what game everyone else was playing? Have you ever played a game you thought was completely awesome to then find out that no one gave a damn about it? We have too, and we're talking all about it. We also talk Skyrim, more Demon Souls, more Batman: Arkham City and playing self created HTML 5 games.
