This week we discuss the new downloadable game Burnout Crash and we look at some of the fall TV shows debuting this year including Ringer, Person of Interest and Terra Nova.
Burnout Crash is a downloadable game available for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. This game focuses exclusively on the crash mode made famous in previous iterations of the Burnout franchise.
Fall TV (13:39 – 43:31)
Well it’s that time of year when everyone’s PVRs are overflowing with all kinds of new TV. Vern & Bill take a look at the the gluttonous amount of new shows as well as some that are returning, and even some that are wrapping up their summer seasons. Some of the shows we look at include Ringer, Terra Nova, Person of Interest, 2 Broke Girls, Fringe, and Haven.
On this week’s podcast we have a pair of games and a pair of TV shows. We start off with a look at the latest Xbox’s Summer of Arcade release, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. We also take a look an older release, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. We wrap things up with two new TV shows that premiered this summer, SyFy’s Haven and ABC’s The Gates.
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (01:50 – 22:24)
The Castlevania franchise has had some ups and downs but now there’s a new release as a part of the Xbox 360 Summer of Arcade. We take a look at where this title falls and if it’s worth the 1200 MS points.
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (22:47 – 36:39)
With Kane and Lynch 2 a few weeks away from release, we thought we would give the 2007 original game a try. The story focus on a recently escaped convict, Kane, looking to reclaim some stolen cash with a psycho sidekick, Lynch, in tow.
Haven (36:46 -52:40)
SyFy has a new original series based on the book, The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. Haven is a small town in Maine that seems to have a lot of unique individuals living there. And it’s filmed in Nova Scotia! Haven can also be seen every Monday on Showcase in Canada.
The Gates (52:41 -65:05)
ABC has also launched a new show for the summer season starring Rhona Mitra. The show focuses, again, on a small community where a number of unique characters reside. This time it’s a gated community that happens to house a number of vampires, werewolves and other assorted supernatural folks.
