    I thought it was a "conceptual" edition of the podcast like jazz or something. It's all about the commentary you "can't" hear.

    Great X-COM review Daniel. Now I have to decide whether or not to play Dishonored or X-COM first (Borderlands 2 got moved to the back-burner for now).

    Thanks! I'm sure we'll do some bull **** hipster podcast some day....

    Like. Whatever man, this could be GameRevolution Radio if we wanted it to be. We were podcasting before it was cool.

    I'm glad you guys upload these to iTunes before you make this post. I get to listen to it "early" which makes me feel so so special. And also I can grab it off iTunes in the afternoon and it helps get me through my work day, instead of afterward. Thanks!

    Hahaha, I do that on purpose. A lot of times I try to get it on iTunes on Thursday, but editing and encoding can take a while. Anything to make you feel special, Used.

    I think people following GR on Twitter get a link to the show before it goes up on the site as well.

    Jump......stab! Jump......stab! Jump......stab!

    Rayman isn't on the top 25 list, just so you know. I was referring to the majority of the top 25. You know, the stuff that isn't Angry Birds 402, Cut the Rope 35, or Fruit Ninja 15.

    Hahaha, only one of those games you mentioned have had anything resembling a sequel. At most you could say that Cut the Rope has DLC. There certainly isn't anything following up Fruit Ninja.

    OK, that's true. The point is, there aren't that many sequels in the App Store. Infinity Blade II. That's another one but the fact remains. It used to be so cool to hate on that stuff, but they're beginning to coexist and intermingle. Some console games may even profit both in quality and in sales for it.

    That was MY point. If you just want new IPs, I'm tellin' ya, top 25 in the App Store.
