Episode 3: Jade Empire - I have a strong love for Bioware and a tremendous respect for their game design philosophy. I have owned Jade Empire since day 1 and have always wanted to finish it. The game mixes role playing and character interaction of KoToR with a new ancient Chinese setting to give players control one of several martial arts masters. The story, setting, and combat was also gripping so I look forward to finally playing through this from beginning to end. Should be a good show.
Episode 4: Parasite Eve I & II - I don't too much experience with Parasite Eve but I have wanted to give it a try for years. Back when Squaresoft was still awesome, they produced a game that mixed elements of survival horror, one of my favorite game genres, with various action-RPG characteristics. It had an interesting looking character in a unique universe. This game was actually going to be the subject of Episode 3 but we decided to push it back in order to complete both the original and its sequel. We did this because the sequel is drastically different from the original. Expect this one to be a bit longer than usual but it should make for some really interesting discussion. I think the show might become a really fun addition to our podcast portfolio! I encourage everyone to track these games down, play through them and post your impressions and feedback in the forum!

Great podcast guys. I can't wait for these two. I loved Jade Empire, heck between that and KOTOR it was what got me to buy an x-box. I've never played Parasite eve, but it looks cool.
Hooray, fibally a game I can help with since I've beaten Jade Empire about 8 times now.
I didn't have a chance to play the other games, but hopefully I'll get a chance to play these and participate in the actual discussion since school is almost over. I've always wanted to play Jade Empire.
Even though I haven't known much of the games going into the discussions, it's still very interesting to hear about them in a more focused manner than impressions with 4 very different opinions. I also think the second Revival Club Podcast went much smoother than the last, even though David and Travis didn't finish. Are they going to write their final thoughts in the blog when they do? ...If they do? I can't wait for next month's!
