This episode of The Benny & Richie Show boots off with a bang, with Benny heading to San Francisco for 2K's BioShock 2. After a great look at the prequel to BioShock, Richie talks to Katsuhiro Harada - the Series Director on Tekken, in Australia for the launch of Tekken 6.
We then venture back into Rapture with a look at the BioShock 2 Multiplayer aspect before former presenter for Good Game Jeremy "Junglist" Ray joins the show to get some stuff off his chest (and smash Benny at FIFA). Make sure you read Benny's Hands On with BioShock 2, which is 100% awesome (if you kids can even read any more). You can watch the latest episode in our video library or download itfrom the files library!

With the PSPGo selling 1000 in its first week, it's safe to say the PSP platform is going to need more help than Sony or retailers are willing to throw at it.
Luckily, Rockstar have stepped to the plate and given punters something to chew on: a PSP version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. From Joab's review:

The stereotype of the internally-focused Japanese developer has taken another blow with Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid overlord) telling Famitsu magazine about his three top picks for 2010 - and they're all Western-developed:
Kojima reserved special praise for Assassin's Creed II: (Continued) Posted 04:52am 21/10/09 by: kreese
The PSPGo is off to a slow start in Australia, with only about 1000 or so of the revamped handheld sold in its launch week.
We say "about 1000 or so" because there seems to be some contention over exactly how much. Sony Computer Entertainment head for Australia, Michael Ephraim is quoted in The Age as putting the figure at "over 1000", while allegedly market monitor GfK's figures are saying the figure is under 1000. In the big picture, arguing 100 either way seems reasonably pointless. However it would be good to know exactly who passed on the figures to the Sydney Morning Herald's scribe, Asher Moses.
We may never know, but the wannabe bookie in us has the following tote in place: 3-1 Annoyed retailer 5-1 Nintendo 20-1 Microsoft Retailers are not thrilled with the handheld, because its digital distribution functions cuts them out of the more lucrative software sale side of the equation. "Major retailers like EBGames," the article notes, refused to stock the handheld. The article reveals updates are on the way to the PSPGo, including an ebook reader - as well as the observation the PS3 Slim has sold a whopping 10,000 consoles a week since its launch. Worth noting: the PS3 Slim's is only $50 more than the PSPGo's.

Darksiders, the fantastic looking game from Vigil Games, will hit Australian shores January 7th next year, a press release from THQ announced today. Alongside the release date is a new trailer featuring a mixture of gameplay and cut-scene footage from the game
We've previewed Darksiders before, and it's no secret that we're really looking forward to it. It combines open world action with RPG elements, a crazy scriptural storyline and a killer art style. It just sucks that it was delayed until 2010. Obviously the date at the end of the trailer is for the U.S. - THQ has confirmed a 07.01.10 release date for Aussies on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

The Armageddon Expo hit Melbourne on the weekend just past, and Andy dragged along the gorgeous Sally Arnott to see why punters were in attendance.
The Expo covers a wide range of pop culture elements, so all sorts of people showed up. Make sure you watch the video to see Sally quiz them on their reasons - Andy said he'd try to bring her along to eGames as well, so cross your fingers on that!

This week the GAP is joined by Rohan Harris, a Digital Dictator (read: fan of Grand Strategy games) and bonafide PC fanboy. After a frightening discussion about Aliens vs Predator we talk Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, Operation Flashpoint 2, East India Company, Europa Universalis III, South Park Tower Defense, FEAR 2 and finally Madden 10. Or, we don't talk about Madden 10, and Heath gets punished for his choice of game.
We also see how scribbley Rohan and Heath can think thanks to Blynd's suggestion to play Scribblenauts on air, we discuss whether a game needs an end boss and the idea of a Halo movie gets thrown around. And, of course, we discuss all the news for the week as quickly as humanly possible. As always - there's a language warning on The GAP. The GAP - Episode 7 Posted 04:51pm 16/10/09 by: Joaby
This episode of the Weekly Update features Andy looking at some other racing titles - two from rather big rivals, actually. Sony's Gran Turismo PSP gets a work out - watch for some really pretty in-game footage. Microsoft's Forza 2 also gets a run, as Andy praises the new rewind feature - which was a big part of GRIDs charm, back in the day, by the way.
Also in this week's update is about 40 seconds of me laughing while Faizon Love (GTA:SA, Couple's Retreat) talks about my favourite thing (and his, incidentally). Moving on from Couple's Retreat talk, we also get a look at Surrogates - Bruce Willis' new flick and Andy looks at the Armageddon Pop Culture expo - if you see him on Saturday make sure you say hi!

Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment has announced the full track list for Lego Rock Band - the joint collaboration from the WBIE and MTV Games teams. The target audience for LRB is a little younger than the other band games - still there's some corkers in the tracklisting.
It has become evident that you cannot make a band game without some Bon Jovi - also great is the inclusion of Elton John's tribute to Australia and the sexually oriented Summer of 69. The game should be available on Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, DS in November.
