I haven't heard too many good things about the Bandai Pippin either. :P
I think that even trumps the CD-i by a wide margin.
Maybe that might be Game Sack's next episode. :idea: :lol:

Fun fact: There used to be a TV show in Finland where people would call the show and play CD-I games using their phones (landline phones, since it was the 90's) while the show and the game was being broadcast. I remember they used at least Burn: Cycle and Wacky World of Miniature Golf. The caller who got the furthest in the game would win something, I guess.

I always watched the show and thought the minigolf game looked cool. :oops:

Didn't the Pippin have the game Marathon which was made by Bungie and is the great grandfather to the Halo series. There are even references in Halo series to this game, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Mara ... es_in_Halo

It did.

Although it didn't have Marathon Durandel which is a masterpiece.

And yeah, Bungie always puts references to Marathon in pretty much every game. Even Destiny has a few references. Like the Manus Celer Die

Great video, liked the unbiased opinion for Sonic Colors that game has some praise but it blows and you handled the review with great explanation for what is was.

Nod to All Stars Racing part 1 is so excellent and has been one of my favorite's since release. I felt they blew Mario Kart out as well, and did some things differently which improved on the formula. Solid game and tons of fun but what really shines is the level layouts and attention to detail, the spiraling tracks were mind blowing.

Valkyria Chronicles is gorgeous and the strategy element is wonderful in the setting they created there, seems this game may have been reprinted with a flux of copies available for a decent price this is a must play game and belongs in every PS3 owners library.

Enjoyed the video as usual, but what was also ironically cool was my kids woke up this morning and jumped on my lap as I was watching Game Sack and you guys had the class to fore warn the cursing from House of the Dead and that was extremely curtious and professional, you guys can do this for years and it never gets old. Thanks for being a staple for this generation of classic gamers!

Great episode. Sega has had some underrated content since the fall of the Dreamcast. It'll never feel quite the same, but once in a while they hit it out of the park.

I'm glad Vanquish got a mention even if it was only published by Sega. It's got to be in my top-ten games for the 360. I generally don't even care for 3rd person shooters but the relentless action in that game is addicting. I've heard it described as an over the shoulder bullet-hell and that's probably not far from the truth.

Maybe if Dave is itching for a Nintendo centric episode you could do something like Pre-NES Nintendo games.
