In this episode of GamerHusbands Radio, we invite AceBlack back for another week, as we work Mass Effect 2 out of our systems. Warning, does not contain any spoilers. We also talk a little bit about Bioshock 2, and how you can make the gaming publishers work for you. All this and more in this episode of GHR!
PAX East is going to be the first major gaming convention on the East Coast and I am pumped for it. If you’re coming make sure to log into the forums and throw your name up on the GHR Meetup.

Note that the stuff below is a partial list of items that have been confirmed. Much more coming! …continued
Capcom is releasing a movie on Xbox Live in Japan. Unfortunately current stats have only 12 Xboxes sold in Japan so the audience will be limited. I’m hoping it has a US release sometime in the near future!
Dark Horse Comics is releasing a 4 part story set between Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. The first book is free today only from the iTunes App store.

My wife recently got Facebook and saw all of her friends sending her invites to Mafia Wars and Farmville and Blood Wars and a ton of other games. She signed up and asked me to show her what it was. I happily explained everything and she said, “So you just hit this button over and over.” “Yeah, basically. Sometimes you hit that button too.” After my 7 year old and her made fun of me and I realized that I didn’t understand why I liked these games. I play them and I guess I enjoy it, but I don’t know why. There’s no skill. No story. There is a sense of accomplishment to completing some things and I guess that is enough because I still log in and hit that button. I’ve become George Jetson.
Farmville is my other secret shame. It’s on my iPhone and religiously I plant and hoe and plant and hoe and plant and hoe. So while I have to tell you that Farmville is one of my favorite iPhone games. I can’t tell you why. It’s free until you get suckered into buying all the additional content. I already purchased a medium sized farm for $1. And the ‘drag to plow’ for $1. And the ‘drag to seed’ for $1. And the ‘drag to plant’ for $1. And right now I am trying my best not to buy the large farm for another $1. This ‘free’ iPhone game is going to be my most expensive iPhone purchase at the end. And I love it, I just don’t know why.
No Mass Effect 2 spoilers in this:
Wrex, my Mass Effect 2 universe is a darker place without you in it. In ME1 I never did the Krogan armor quest and my Paragon level was never high enough to save you. I tried to save you over and over but you kept dying. I looked at old saves but I was sloppy and relied on auto-save too much.
So at every turn I remember having to kill you Wrex. I didn’t want to. I would have even let Saren cure the genophage because you really were that cool. The rest of my party were a bunch of stiffs (except the blue one that I got it on with). Wrex, you are my greatest gaming regret (#2 is not ‘breaking up the party’ in Arkham Asylum).
War. He speaks softly but carries a BIG SCYTHE.
One of the main things I like about Darksiders was how it really surprised me. Surprised me by how good it was in a below the radar dark horse (pardon the pun) sort of way. I feel this game stands up well against your triple-A high profile titles like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. That being said, this game is not simply a brawler. It is a true adventure game in the style of the popular Zelda series. Having read and heard a few reviews of the game while deciding if I should buy it or not, I heard the Zelda comparison often. But the similarities are obvious and in-your-face – from the grappling hook, to the horse, to the boomerang. All the other aspects are there as well – puzzle solving, exploration, collecting health boosts (not hearts :p ), and of course the combat. I’m not a Zelda expert, but I do enjoy the series, most recently having played through Twilight Princess on the Wii.
GameStop hits a homerun this week with two of its price drops. XBox 360 and PS3 fans should be smiling across the 50 states with some of these! Ok, check them out!
In this episode of GamerHusbands Radio we roll out another episode as Maverick and Bumblb19 go into an extensive talk about Mass Effect 2. We also praise the gaming community for their unity during trying times. All that and more on this episode of GHR!
