Summary

Admit it. You're biased. You have likes, dislikes, loves, hates, etc. And we jump into that a bit this week as we talk about fanboy logic -- the propensity to defend something you own/like even when that position is indefensible or seemingly illogical. We go through a few of the previous system wars and even fess up to our own personal biases. Maybe you'll be able to do the same after listening. Thanks go to Declivity Man on our forum for suggesting the topic.

But that's not all, we also discuss the games we've been playing this week, including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Blue Dragon -- two titles which have had very different reactions from the gaming community at large (that, for the most part, don't gel with our own).

Thanks for listening! You can leave us a voicemail comment by calling 713-893-8069 or you can send a comment via MP3 to our email address, playeronepodcast@gmail.com. Don't forget to join our forums!

This week's links:
Blue Dragon
Metroid Prime 3
Donkey Kong Jungle Climber
BioShock
Dynasty Warriors Gundam
Crazy Taxi PSP
