We confess the games we've never played in our Video Game Bucket Lists.

New Business is fairly short this week, but a monstrous featuring segment makes up for it. Greg hasn't played much this week in the absence of Resident Evil, but he does address Nintendo's recent financial news. Jon begins to catch up with one of our favorite games last year, Radiant Historia. Jonny has a pair of platformers with Trine 2 for PC and a conjugal visit with Super Mario Galaxy 2. James surprises us with his short review of a tiny DSiWare game called WarioWare: Snapped!
The show really kicks off in part two as we churn through our extensive Bucket Lists -- games we've always wanted to play and hope to experience before we flee this mortal coil. Despite the grim premise, it's a fun-filled discussion as we march through each generation of video games, naming those titles that eluded us in the past and still call out to our senses of curiosity. It's a nostalgic, surprising set of games, and we had a blast with the discussion. Hope you enjoy it too! Be sure to let us know what's on your list with a quick email to the show.
Finally, don't forget that RetroActive is ongoing. We'll have a big blowout on Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones next week, so play the game and drop your knowledge into this here forum thread for a chance to be read on the next episode.
Pureval, I haven't played E.T. I haven't heard good things, though.
As for Planescape Torment, I actually played it many years ago and I hated myself for it. The story is not that great....it will make you feel empty inside, much like...say, the Dark Tower series. Not the same ending, but the same feeling of "Well, that was the point of all this?" Or the ending of Lost. The "gameplay" is not great, either. It's based on the Baldur's gate gameplay model, which is what KOTOR is based on, clicking to fight.
Also, was that a Majora's Mask Retroactive I heard being hinted at, or are my ears deceiving me? ;)
Just realized I forgot one thing from my bucket list: A 100% completion+000 run of Link to the Past.
I've done it with Ocarina and Link's Awakening, but never LttP because its save system is busted.
Wouldn't that be a lot easier with Virtual Console... or do you mean actually completing a marathon playthrough?
One thing left on my bucket list: Destroy Jon Lindemann
