Our 37th episode closes out a week tinged by two strange and insignificant controversies. First, baby games suddenly became relevant, after the babbling in Baby Pals was accused of harboring a hidden Islamic message. Then, (some of) the reviews for Killzone 2 hit almost a month ahead of the game’s release, prompting a cavalcade of outrage from people who felt the 9s and 10s were either too high, too low or just generally suspect.

TalkRadar brings on a special mystery guest to finally settle a question that’s been burning in the minds of our fans for months: What exactly the hell happened between Chris Antista and Tyler Wilde? Once that’s settled, it’s on to our usual dissection of this week’s Top 7, followed by a frank discussion of why we chose what we chose for our Greatest games on every platform feature and spirited discourse on a couple of articles written by GR’s sister site Edge Online.

The inauguration of President Barack Obama has made this a historic week in America, but TalkRadar is happy to ignore all that in favor of what really matters: talking about videogames. This week’s podcast is devoted to chatting about games we wish would be announced for US release this year, long-forgotten skateboarding games and Chris’s uncanny ability to mimic voice samples from Genesis/Mega Drive games.

The game industry might have slowed things down during these dark early days of 2009, but never fear – TalkRadar continues to lumber ahead at its usual drunken pace. This week, we’ve managed to enrage the internet twice, and we discuss the drama along with our latest coverage of Killzone 2, this week’s Top 7 and one of the few good games to actually release this month.

Holy Holidays, a TalkRadar Christmas Special? That’s right, lollipops – while the other guys are Yule Tide no-shows, GamesRadar is the gift that keeps on giving! This being the Holidays, we went with a slightly different format. Instead of cursing our way through news stories and the latest games using the most advanced fart riddles and boner poems, hosts Brett Elston, Mikel Reparaz, and Chris Antista will walk you through our favorite bits from TalkRadar past.

2008 is nearly over, and thusly there aren’t as many new games to discuss. But fear not! We instead recount the prettiest (read: most colorful) games of the year, then ponder aloud how Nintendo was able to sell 800,000 Wiis last month (until we found it was actually 2.2 million) and subject you to an NES song so bizarrely long you’ll wonder how anyone could stand it.

Plus a big ol’ community segment for all you dedicated listeners.

In case you missed TalkRadar 28 (and shame on you if you did), we couldn’t fathom why Giant Bomb awarded MK vs DCU a five star rating (their highest score). That led to forumites on both sites to start a-feudin’ an’ a-fussin’ about integrity and other such nonsense, so we simply called Jeff Gerstmann up and now you can hear the results of said conversation. Hint: we’re bitter enemies now. For real.

Holy crow, T-Dar just turned 20! To commemorate this trivial milestone we’ve invited our very first guest, Dan Amrich of OXM, back on for another romp through the cussy, gritty world of TalkRadar.

After a long two-week absence, Shane Patterson rejoins the crew just in time to celebrate TalkRadar’s 18th birthday. With our podcast finally old enough to vote, buy cigarettes and go to the mall by itself, we briefly put aside our usual yammering for a weirdly serious talk about the ethics of software piracy.

But don’t worry – it’s then back to dick jokes and a spirited discussion about Star Wars, Wii Music, new games that already feel stale and an appearance by occasional guest reviewer Duke “Duke” Lombardi, who wants to talk to us about something called a “petz.”
