At 4:30 in the GAMBIT lounge we kick of this Fall's Friday Games series with a RANT about Deadly Premonition. For those who don't know, this game has been one of the most controversial of the 2010. Players, critics, and bloggers can't seem to decide whether its good, bad, or so bad its good.

Most gamers who like it fall into the "so bad it's good" camp, but I actually find it to be mostly "good" in a completely unironic way. I will be explaining why in my rant, and why this "so bad it's good" trend often fails to capture what is special about certain games.

We will also being playing:

- Alan Wake
- Puzzle Agent

Recent games that, like Deadly Premonition, are also inspired by the television series Twin Peaks. Prepare for the surreal.
