POP Ep.43: It's a Fall, Fall, Fall, Fall Preview (Voicemail line 713-893-8069)

Published: Aug. 19, 2007, 4:36 p.m.

b'Madden last week, BioShock this week. The evidence is all around us -- we\'ve started into the fall gaming season where players will part with exorbitant amounts of cash to play the games they\'ve been waiting all year for. And we\'re gonna like it, damnit! In this episode, we run down the releases month by month and discuss what we\'ll buy, what we\'ll skip, and what we\'ll wait till it\'s half-off to pick up sometime next year. To wrap it up, we limit ourselves to just five games -- the ones we absolutely have to pick up this fall and list them for you. What\'s your list look like?

But of course we begin the show by talking about the games we played this week, including plenty of Madden and BioShock talk with a couple other things thrown in there as well. Possible spoiler warning: CJ talks about the retail version of BioShock during his segment. It\'s\\nnot particularly spoilery but if you want to remain completely\\nuntainted you may want to skip ahead.
