Welcome to a very special spur of the moment project that our good friend Sean inspired us to do.  During our off weeks we will be posting a morsel of a podcast to whet your appetite while waiting for the full podcast.  The difference here is we record live at some at a bar, or wherever we decide we want to record, for 15 minutes on one to two topics.  We keep it short and very sweet.  Plus you get the cool ambiance of the pub.   Consider this an early holiday gift.  Enjoy.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit really did sneak up on me.  I have so much crap on my plate right now that the last thing on my mind was an arcade racer.  What I forgot was that this just wasn't another Split Second, Blur, or any other generic arcade racer (Split Second and Blur are both good titles, so chill).   This was one of the most beloved franchises from EA that hasn't seen a release since 2002.  This was Hot Pursuit. 

There are 17 titles within the very prolific NFS franchise, but only one has truly stuck with me.  1998's Hot Pursuit holds a special place in my heart.  It was one of the first racing games I ever played and I immediately associate it with my childhood.  I remember going over to a friends house during the holiday and seeing it for the first time.  I was mesmerized.  All of this time I've been playing San Francisco Rush on the N64 and there are games like this?  Fast-forward 13 years.  I pick up on NFS: Hot Pursuit on impulse and here is why I think it is one best games of the year.

So It Begins...with Resident Evil 2? Check out Jon's thoughts

Post Written by Chad W.

To see the entire game you have to play through both of their  scenarios. This,to my knowledge, is the first game to have two characters with branching paths where one directly affects the other. For example if you leave a gun in a particular part of Leon’s game A, that gun will be there when you boot up Claire’s game B using Leon’s end game save.

When you arrive the entire city has been taken by the undead and it is up to you to survive the horrors. I still remember the first time in the police station when you first encounter a licker creature. The terror that engulfs you when you hit the hall and a cut scene plays and you are introduced to a creature that is walking on the ceiling and has a 5 foot deadly tongue.
