Title: Breast Police

There is absolutely no reason that an actual game concept should have escaped from the breast fueled buddy cop dramedy that was Police Breasts, but I managed to actually come up with something I would want to play!

Fighting breast cancer, in a real time strategy game! A tumor is producing cancer cells, your task is to surround it with differing white cell production sites, which combat certain levels of the cancer. The farther away the cancer cells gets from the initial source, the different phases they transfer through. Push the disease back, using heavier duty white blood cell conversions, until the tumor is gone. Use special attacks such as chemotherapy, and other cancer treatments as they become available! The game is intended as not only a fun strategy game, but also a basis for actionable education.

Alex’s HD has been replaced, his hairdoo has been rebooted and we rangle up our thoughts on Rockstar Games’ “Red Dead Redemption”.  3 new trailers make their way into the fold as well: Little Big Planet 2, Call of Duty:Black Ops & Bulletstorm.

Words: Pauper, Succulent, Splice

Title: Maligno, A Steampunk Musical

As a mad scientist trying to take over the world, Industrial Era London has become your playground.  Build your notoriety and take down superheroes of the day (prominent members of parliament in costume).  With a unique dynamic musical system, NPC’s break out in song as you walk down the street, and sing the chorus as you perform common actions.  The soundtrack is alive around you!  Find the ringleader of these crime fighting heroes and prepare for the next major city to fall under the wrath of Maligno!

El Juego Classico is a pre-historic version of El Juego de Palabras.  Prior to breaking it off into it’s own show, El Juego used to be a weekly segment on Crunch Time.  This is one of those earlier runs in all it’s technically deficient glory.  You can find new episodes of El Juego at www.crunchtimepodcast.com

Title: Se-Dated

Alex’s hard drive committed suicide this week, and as such there’s no full Crunch Time episode to entertain you all!  In its stead, I’ve invited Brendan back for another fun El Juego!

As a drunk bar patron, you’re reached the stage where you no longer comprehend reality.  Discover where you are and what surrounds you using tools in your environment to find the exit and call a cab home.  Get out faster, or pick up a date for bonus points!

Title: In Me You Trust

Special guest, head of Activision’s social media initiative Dan Amrich joins us today for an absolute blast of an El Juego!

As a young con artist, you’ve always skirted the law.  Upon realizing nobody in your town was all too bright, you begin an enterprising counterfeiting scheme.  Initially only hitting smaller local venues, you exponentially grow to an international crime lord, peddling your faux bills.  Take over the global monetary system and show off your funny money!

Alex returns, and we celebrate by playing awesome new games IN BETA.  The nature of our coverage seems to have influenced even our recording, as our planned StarCraft 2 coverage decided it didn’t want to hear Alex’s opinion (AKA, no audio).  We’ll be covering StarCraft 2 next week!

UNTIL THEN: Enjoy our thoughts on the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta and trailers from such games as Call of Duty Black Ops, Medal of Honor, Dead Space 2, Singularity, Enslaved & Ilomilo!

As Alex sails towards his native Kentucky, we take this time to talk about Left 4 Dead 2′s first DLC, “The Passing”.  Featuring the first cross game interaction between the main cast of characters, does this 7 dollar pack scale walls to new heights?  Or is it shot off the roof?  Find out!
