<itunes:subtitle>SPOnG Podcast Episode 4</itunes:subtitle>
<description><![CDATA[A regular look across the video game landscape ]]></description>
<itunes:summary>SPOnG's wintery Underwater Castle sees the fourth of SPOnG's  videogame podcasts with the regular crew, some sparkling shiraz, lager, pretzels and much video game talk.&#13;
&#13;
Mark bemoans that fact that comics (and graphic novels) rarely if ever cross-over to or from video games. Tim and Mat take issue with Steve Jobs over Garage Band. Everybody plays Mod Nation Racers. Svend reports back from several big game events in London (AvP, MAG and another one). We interview John Dennis from Team 17 about Alien Breed, Natal, Worms, iPad gaming and other things. &#13;
&#13;
We'd love to hear from you, so post your comments at here or follow us on Twitter @SPOnGDotCom or Facebook. &#13;

  <itunes:summary>Mat discusses the highs of Bulletstorm and the disappointment that was Crysis 2 at the Eurogamer Expo.

EA faces SPOnG's 'we're not angry, we're just disappointed' face in a 'goat or boat' session over the Taliban/Opposing Force debacle.

Svend weighes in on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, while Mark provides a n00b's-eye view.

FIFA 11 is put in the inevitable cagefight against PES 2011. Paul has no doubt which way he swings, Mat may be in denial about his preference...

Sonic 4!

How Minecraft can ruin your life and make you a nightclub owner.

Svend has a bit of a chin-wag with Platinum producer Atsushi Inaba about Vanquish.

In between all this, well, the chat goes very, very inappropriately in the direction of Nintendo's sadly departed Cammie Dunaway... 

We also tackle the thorny issue of how you get a refund on an MMO that failed.

  <itunes:summary>With Halo Reach in the headlines and Mark on holiday, we descend into discussions of jetpacks, Portal hatred, our sponsor - Nottingham Game City - Hooters, and famous actors in games, what's the point of them?

Why, we want to know, did Sony launch Move in the same week as Microsoft launched Halo Reach?

Is Apple's Game Center doomed to fail or will the iPad and iPod Touch kill PSP and DS in a savage attack?

Also listen to Paul get shouted down before he finally snaps. And a warm welcome to Game Media Awards nominee and ace games writer, Lauren Wainwright.
