Fresh from the cloning facilities on Kamino comes a new breed of warrior in the Republic’s war against the Separatists…the clone commando.
In today’s RAD we take a look at a different kind of Star Wars game..a squad based shooter taking place during the Clone wars with Star Wars:Republic commando. The Republic recognizes the need for a different kind of a solider in it’s fight and allows the development of a more independent clone unit that can act quickly and decisively if need be and are just as deadly as Jango Fett himself. The small 4 man squad battles across Geonosis, a derelict Republic battleship and the Wookie homeworld to accomplish their objectives but…is it worth while?
Does this Star Wars game take advantage of a new type of game play unfamiliar to the Star wars games or does it fail to receive orders and get cut off?

In today’s edition of RAD we join Birdman and Batman in their attempt to free the world the iron fist from a man of steel in
INJUSTICE:GODS AMONG US.
Metropolis lies as a nuclear ruin and Lois Lane and 8 million other people have died at the Joker’s hands and Superman finally snaps. This is the DC fighter we have been waiting for since the somewhat disappointing MK vs DC a few years ago. Does this fighter have the stones to build up the fantastic reputation built by Neather realms MK reboot? Is this finally the true story based fighter we have wanted?
Prepare to choose a side in this war!
Are you with Batman’s insurgency or under Superman’s regime?

However you won’t care…
“Play it again Sam.” takes on a new meaning in today’s RAD.
Birdman returns to the battlefield of guns and swords with Metal gear rising’s first piece of single player DLC with Jetstream Sam. We take control of the cool Brazilian breeze as he makes his way into Denver to fight World Marshall. Why does Sam have a grudge against this PMC? How does this tie into the overall Metal gear rising storyline? Why in the hell did Birdman do a tableflip after beating this DLC?

Are you ready to head to the world of Columbia, the city in the sky?
In today’s RAD we take a look at the wonderfully beautiful world of Bioshock:Infinite! Experience the alternate history of 1912′s America complete with racism and old timey music! However we do find ourselves on more then just a tour of this grand city as we are out to clear a debt and rescue the mysterious girl, Elizabeth.
What secrets does Columbia hold? Who is Comstock and how does he tie into this plot? Who are the vox populi?
So many questions and so little time?!
Is game worth your airtime or should Bioshock stick to under the sea for it’s adventures?

YO JOE!
Birdman is back and this time with a classic from his childhood on the NES!
We are taking a look at GI Joe:A real American hero and we’re bringing out our HISS tanks and Cobra Rattlers to do battle in the sandbox. The Joes have been tasked with eliminating Cobra Commander and his forces once and for all from Antarctica to the Sahara desert and beyond. Fight alongside Duke,Blizzard, Captain Grid-iron and the ever awesome Snake eyes to unleash some justice!
Is this GI Joe game better then what we’ve seen recently or would you be better off dusting off the USS Flagg for one last spin around the toy chest instead?

This week, join Ryan as he tries to survive the Zombie Apocalypse playing as Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Is this game the equal of Telltale’s critically acclaimed point and click adventure game? Or should it have stayed buried for at least another 9 to 15 months? Seriously, this game had some neat ideas, but the development team just clearly didn’t have the time needed to expand on them or put a decent game around them.
A disappointment all around, even for fans of the show.
*Editors note*
Birdman returns to RAD this weekend.
Thank you to everyone who emailed and messaged me.
It meant a lot.

Spoiler free !
Join Ryan as he travels through the ruined New York of the future in the third installment of the Crysis franchise, Crysis 3. Laugh and cry with him as he remembers older films he saw when he was younger while playing this game. Remark on how surprising it is that he recorded something while still being in the midst of his addiction to Path of Exile !
Is Crytek going to Prophet on this game ? Or will they end up with a game that could cause them a financial Crysis ??? *
* Note: I know the puns are bad, but sometimes you just have to make due with what you’re given. Making lemonade and all that…
*Editors note*
Birdman is dealing with family in the hospital and will return as soon as he can
Prayers and good vibes appreciated guys

*SPOILER-FREE and now with 20% more vitamin C*
Listen up COGS, we have a job to do and that job can only be accomplished at the end of a gun barrel.
In today’s RAD, we take a look at the latest entry in the Gears of War franchise with Gears of War:Judgement! This time around we’re taking a trip to past before Baird and Cole ever met Marcus and Dom. Baird and his squad are facing some serious charges in a courtroom surrounded by locust and the world is crumbling around them…what charge could be so serious that they would hold a trial at the end of the world?
We are ready to declassify this mission account and set the record straight?
Does this entry make itself worthy of the Gears of war name or just simply just grind our gears?
*Editors note* As of time of recording some multiplayer issues were encountered but do not accurately reflect final product
Very few players were online at the time to give a FULL scope of the multiplayer
