Burnout Paradise turns the Burnout series on its head by moving from closed set tracks to an open world full of events to experience both alone and in a group online.
The "Wintolympo" have come to an end allowing the snow to go on holiday and waft into the UK. The white ground is nice but we prefer green with us being all salad-y and stuff...
In this episode: Minor Black Panther Spoilers, Recore, a Sonic movie, Terraria, Hand of Fate 2, Eets Munchies, Astroneer, Burnout Paradise and Mass Effect 2.
Fluid Jamboree.
This episode has EVERYTHING. Possibly anything that's ever been said in human existence is crammed into this extra long SaladCast instalment. We’ve got running, rumours, Sonic’s Olympic garb, parking tickets, web development plugs, Zac’s eating habits, esports lifestyles, Shoutcast Radio and, in a surprise twist, video games!
Need a new diet plan for 2016? Don't eat Chocolate, play games instead. Take your mind of the sugar with the sweetness of staying alive in Alien Isolation. Eat mushrooms instead with New Super Mario Bros. 2. Simulate the feeling of being slighter further away from chocolate by going for a drive in Burnout Paradise or a greater distance in FAST Racing NEO. Grow your own chocolate alternatives that you can’t even eat in Stardew Valley. All this advice comes courtesy of the SaladCast.
As we draw ever closer to the "reveal season" some news just can't contain itself and slips free. This way it gives us something to talk about before the noise of E3. The games are coming and we must be ready for them.
This week there’s DmC, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (and whether or not it’s racist), Bioshock Infinite, EA and Star Wars, Gran Turismo 6, Burnout Paradise, Star Trek, Half Minute Hero and Crysis Warhead.
Greece should have won Eurovision clearly.
The return of the sun brings some danger with it. Some people may try and convince you that there's a better world out there in the light. All you will find is MORE world. It’s like a disappointing RPG. Count on the SaladCast to provide you with useful public service information.
This week there’s Nintendo Direct news, Zac getting a 3DS, Spec Ops: The Line, Kerbal Space Program, Sim Farm, Injustice, children with footballs, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, the Tog scale, Burnout Paradise, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, Bioshock Infinite and more.
Everyone needs to get piz’d.
3 weeks have passed since the last cast. Who's fault is that? Well it's kinda ours. No excuse. We got lazy. To celebrate our return here's a blurb that represents the spirit of laze:
Games, games, talking about games, blabla, Rob, Bulletstorm, Dan, L.A Noire, Zac, Just Cause 2, games, games, bla-di-bal-ba-bla, moo.
Due to an unforeseen failure in Dan's immune system the usual arrangement of casting in the Room of Doom cannot happen this week. This gives you the opportunity to play a fun game of "count how many time we talk over each other". Such fun.
In this episode Zeg covers new indie 2D Minecraft-style; release Teraria and gets a taste of dictatorship with Tropico 3. Rob begins to tackle two more games new to him with the 3D tactical anime war game Valkyria Chronicals and gets his trademark rant on towards Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Dan attempts to solve the puzzle of describing just what L.A. Noire is and what it may mean for Adventure gaming.
Driving seems to be main theme this time. We've all been playing them racing games. The Steam sales have magical properties like that.
Rob gushes about Blur, confirming its awesomeness, Dan arrives late to the Dirt 2 party and Zac.... plays Eve some more. Well he did play some Dirt too (see what I did there?).
There’s also some ranting about the 3DS before it's out, some SpaceChem and Super Meat Boy. How lucky you are!
