Content Moderation, Kids and M Games, Reviewing Innovation

In the first episode:

• We begin by talking about Global Agenda and Pwning For A Cure...Did you see the photos on Kotaku of the event?
• We look into the issue of content moderation of user-generated levels and songs, and the heavy hand that seems to be occurring in LittleBigPlanet.
• This is also occurring in Guitar Hero: World Tour, and that launches into why the music creator isn't exactly as robust as advertised.
• We answer a voicemail from a minor asking us if we believe minors should play M-Rated games.
• Then we take calls on America's Videogame Expo, M-Rated game players, and content moderation.

In the second episode:

• We wish a happy birthday to all of the current major consoles, which were released several years ago this week.
• We discuss some of the innovations in console interface design and how the consoles are different today than they were on launch day.
• We give our impressions of Animal Crossing: City Folk, but frankly, just stay away.
• A reviewer believes that innovative games (such as Mirror's Edge) should get a pass in reviews for bad gameplay, and be given higher scores just for being innovative...What?
• This leads to several calls about that topic as well as the used games market, the New Xbox Experience, and why Left 4 Dead will be flipping awesome.
