The Horrible Show 01-19-11: Games of 2011 Preview

Ok, now we are ready to talk 2011. Justin and Ethan welcome back Cole, Christina and for the first time, GiffTor. The crew previews the games of 2011 including: Batman: Arkham City, Gears of War 3, Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 3, and Uncharted 3. Send in your questions to [email protected] or @TheHorribleShow

Cole returns safely to the podcast and to the midwest, just in time to welcome another Justin to the show when GiffTor shows up for our preview of the games of 2011. With 5 Threesomes of the Week to get through we still manage to make houses and the ocean sound halfway interesting. The On the Spot question laughs at our mounting pile of games yet to be played to finds out what games we still have left from 2009, and Cole reveals he only wants to play with Cole. Our 2011 Preview takes us to the end of some trilogies (Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3), makes sure sure-fire predictions about the upcoming year, and proves time and time again that Christina is wrong (or outnumbered). Horrible Night wants to hear from you, our favorite listener/reader, as we plan out the future of the site. Reach out via our contact form to let us know what you’d like to see more or less of. Because we wouldn’t want to end up like, Kotaku, the victim of Justin’s latest industry shout-out.
