We talk about some great games this week including a budget, downloadable title that draws inspiration from Portal (Quantum Conundrum) and a surprising hit on the Playstation Vita (Gravity Rush).

The theme on this weeks episode is busty women performing heroic feats like slicing through waves of killer zombies with a glitzy chainsaw or stabbing potential rapists through the face with sharp, sharp glass. You guessed it! Lollipop Chainsaw has landed and made a splash in the way that any Suda 51 game should! In the second segment, the conversation switches to our distaste for the the long-running focus on Tomb Raider as an over-sexualized portrayal of women in games.

Nick and Brad reflect upon their experiences with "I Am Alive", a downloadable adventure/platformer from Ubisoft Shanghai. They discuss the game's troubled history, its similarity to survival horror, and the mechanics that make this one of the most memorable games of 2012 so far. There are some minor spoilers near the end of the show (See spoiler warning time stamps below) but any fan of platforming or survival-horror will want to give this a listen. Look for a possible volume 2 in the near future with Nolan to discuss the differences in "Hardcore" difficulty. **SPOILER WARNING: 28:20 - 31:40** I Am Alive - Volume 1 - [download] [podcast]http://4playerpodcast.com/podcasts/audible/AI-I-Am-Alive-Vol1.mp3[/podcast]

Nick and Bob reflect on their experiences with Silent Hill Downpour, the latest western-developed entry in the cult-franchise. They discuss the reasons why they feel the game is deserving of praise as well as the reasons that the game is not quite as noteworthy as it could be. Is the combat finally improved? Is it spooky? Does it feel like a Silent Hill game should? All of these questions are addressed without any story specific spoilers! Look for volume 2 in a couple weeks to hear our spoiler-filled discussion!
