Red Tie Miner (15:41 – 24:50)

Red Tie Miner is a new indie release on the Xbox Live Arcade that involves mining…with a red tie. Well you mine with a pick-axe, you’re just wearing the tie. Anywho, the game is developed and published by Maximinus games in France and is available now for 80 MS points.

Attack the Block (25:07 – 38:41)

As a group of kids in South London wrap up a routine mugging, they are attacked by a small creature who they chase down and kill. Said creature turns out to be an alien who’s fallen from the sky and his co-travellers aren’t very impressed by this turn of events to say the least. The film is the directorial debut from Jim Cornish and is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

This week we sit down to discuss the MMORPG, and now free DC Universe Online as well as the DVD release of Conan the Barbarian.

DC Universe Online (17:26 – 52:09)

Developed by Sony Online Entertainment, DC Universe is an MMORPG which puts you, as you might have guessed, in the universe of the DC characters. The game was originally released for PC and PS3 back in January of this year, but has recently changed from a subscription service to become free to play.

On this episode we take a look at a number of different games we’ve been playing recently both on the Xbox 360 and the PC. Games being discussed include Driver San Francisco, Minecraft, Escape Goat, Borderlands, Oblivion and Risk: Factions.

Driver San Francisco (03:46 – 11:11)

Developed by Ubisoft, Driver: San Francisco is the latest in the long running Driver series. You play as John Tanner who in the real world in laying in a hospital bed while in his mind is still chasing down the person responsible for putting him there. And since everything you see is technically a dream, you’re able to randomly shift between all the cars on the road to meet your objective. The game was released back in Spetember for the Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii and Windows.

Minecraft (13:22 – 17:18)

A number of episodes ago we devoted an entire show to our fixation with Minecraft. Now several updates later and with the game finally at the stage of removing the beta tag, we look back to see what has changed with the game.

Escape Goat (17:19 – 20:36)

Escape Goat is a 2D platformer available as an indie game on the Xbox Live Arcade. And in case you haven’t figured it out you’re a goat who’s trying to escape. What is he trying to escape from? I have no idea since I didn’t play it. But Kev did and he’ll tell us all about it.

Borderlands and Oblivion (20:52 – 32:27)

A couple of older games caught our attention due to some recent sales on Steam. We had originally looked at Borderlands on the Xbox 360 WAYYYYYYY back when it was first released but we’ve recently all had a chance to revisit the game on the PC. And with all the attention that Skyrim has been getting lately, we also took a look back at Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – some of us for the first time.

Risk: Factions (32:28 – 45:12)

Since the boys had a chance to try out the board game version of Risk recently, we decided to see what the PC counterpart was like. The game is availble as a downloadable game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but we took a look at it on the PC.
