Tom Chick is in the house and we're talking about why AAA games get a pass on the review front, whether or not games should be knocked for innovation and just what the hell Kirby is any way. We also talk about Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Gears of War 3, Kirby Mass Attack, Witcher 2 and the Bit.Trip games.

Todd was unable to join us this week, but no matter, as we filled our time talking about what we consider to be the future of the AAA game. We all talked about games too, but for the life of me, I can't remember what they are. Professionalism!

Danielle is out sick, but Tom Chick joins us to talk about game endings: the good, the not so good and why they often suck rocks. We also talk about Dead Island, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Space Marine and BloodRayne: Betrayal.

This week, the usual crew of Brandon, Danielle and Todd, (minus Bill!) discussed the finer points of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Quarrel, Crazy Machines: Elements and Rock of Ages, with a dash of Civ V to keep things spicy. 

For our topic, we discussed the perennial question: "Do game reviewers suck at games?", as inspired by Mitch Krpata's awesome article Doing it wrong: Are game reviewers bad at video games? over at Joystick Division. Our answers may shock and inspire you.
