Description
This Episode of Sisters in Gaming is very interesting. We get a little jolly with the Sailor and Vodka (virgin vodka’s for some). We try to keep this episode short since we’re all a little short on time because of Christmas and all that entails for each of us. We postponed our Discussion Topic on Casual vs. Hardcore for our January episode where we hope to have a special guest. En lieu of that discussion topic we cover the games we’d like to revisit in 2009. Reviews this month include: Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World (Wii), A Kingdom For Keflings (XBLA), Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3), and Prince of Persia: The Fallen King (PS3). Crafting Mama keeps your head warm with the Shadows in the Nyte Etsy store. In this month’s Dare to Game we cover Warcraft 3 (PC), Christmas Nights into Dreams (Saturn), The Red Star (PS2), and Twin Bee Portable (PSP).

Thanks to VGEvo, our listeners and our fellow podcasters for welcoming us into the community. We hope you all have a safe, happy and healthy New Year. Merry Christmas!
