The Joy of Gaming Podcast, Episode 7:

Smithsonian’s “Art of Video Games” Exhibit, and Defining Bad Games

On this Episode, Rich, Tim and Jordan discuss a variety of subjects, starting with a visit to the Smithsonian’s new “Art of Video Games” exhibit in DC. News topics include more Mass Effect 3 ending discussion, Peter Molyneux’s career plans, 3DS NPD numbers, and the actual release of Fez on XBLA (YAY!).

Then we discuss the always entertaining subject of “Bad Games.” How do we define “Bad Games,” what makes a game bad, and whether or not it’s possible to intentionally create a campy video game. Of course, this means that the flawed yet amazing Deadly Premonition is discussed, among other games like Earth Defense Force 2017 and Amy, and a good time is had by all.

I mean, what do you expect? This…is the Joy of Gaming.
