Episode 52 of the Digital City, where we talk about the latest Apple tablet rumors, dissect Kindles on campus, bemoan the use of single-core CPUs in 13-inch laptops, and worry about NYC's growing rep as a surveillance state.

The 404's Jeff Bakalar pops by to fill the absent Joseph's seat, as we compare notes on Uncharted 2 and complain about how hard it is to actually get any content onto a PSPgo.

I love how most of the time (note that I said "most") when there were compliments for Uncharted, there was silence. Then, when it came to the cons, everyone started laughing and agreeing. I do agree that it isn't 10/10, even if not for the reasons that you said, but lots of games have bad stories and people don't jump on it. And Dan didn't mention that someone told him that they could've used a lot of things that they used on Uncharted that they didn't on other games, like Gears of War. But whatever, at least one of you is biased, if only slightly.
