Our guest this week is developer Nathan Fouts of Mommy's Best Games. He's the creator of the Xbox Community Game Weapon of Choice, which we covered several episodes ago -- and yes, he calls us out on many of our criticisms. He also talks candidly about the freedom and frustration of Community Games development, what inspired Weapon of Choice, and somehow it culminates in a Devil May Cry 3 rant that must not be missed. Our thanks to Nathan for participating! Be sure to visit his website at http://www.mommysbestgames.com.
