It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these so called roundtables, so we thought we would pit the two top shooters in the ongoing Halo vs Call of Duty debate. Both have their highs and lows, but with the constant development of these two series, it is good to re-evaluate the situation. Joining us for this episode is the former host of Podtacular: foo mo jive, forum mod Painkilla05, My Halo Life’s JakFireDragon, and TTL Gunslinger Xerxdeej. Enjoy

Podtacular 215: Decade of Games

Shownotes
In the past decade, the gaming scene has changed dramatically. We saw the introduction of the Xbox and Halo, and the main competitors were Nintendo and Sony Entertainment. Graphics has had a dramatic improvement, 3D gaming has become the norm, and game music has evolved from 8-bit to orchestra and all-out rock. For this episode, we venture into our pasts of gaming over the past decade and visit some memorable moments. Former host JVB joins us along with guests ChuckieJ and AceofSpadesCard. We have some nice commentary from ChuckieJ as he goes through his list of big games and Brent has his Top 5 pick of the decade which will accompany this post shortly. Thanks to everyone who submitted their favorites and enjoy.
