"After I graduated from high school, I became a big fan of Time Crisis 2. I mean REALLY big. I’d play it all the time, to the point where I knew exactly when enemies would jump out and attack in order to maximise my score.

After a long consumption junction (featuring big games like Far Cry 3, Forza Horizon, and Adult Swim’s Major Mayhem), and a Les Mis critique, we dish more predictions (next gen controllers game streaming, and alternate pricing structures), resolutions (to stay away from Cheap Ass Gamer and Thrifty Nerd), and awards (Spoiler – The Pinball Arcade wins everything, forever. Game of the century). Game Club sees the boys facing down their holiday challenges, Spec Ops: The Line and Gitaroo Man."
