Spoiler Alert!
This episode, we focus first on the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Lightening Thief, by Rick Riordan. Amanda helps me review the book in preparation for us seeing the movie just released, and we even tackle the inevitable comparison to Harry Potter.
Then Wyatt calls in to tell us about the Alien vs. Predator demo, which is suitable for teens. And finally Kevin reviews the original Halo game, as he is now catching up with the series very slowly. I did edit this a little, and you can hear some of Kevin uncut in an upcoming new promo for HTGYG!

Great review! I have been saying this was the book Darcy has sitting here, hehe. Now she was, “Hey! That’s that one book!” She’s slow sometimes.
Can we get Wyatt to tone the descriptions back a tad? lol. Glad he loves the games, but folks could be eating.

to Kevin, a great review, and I’ll definitely check out Percy Jackson Susie and Amanda, sounds good, amd speaking of mythology, I’ll have to make a not-so gory more kid friendly review of God of War (if you’ve played it, you know what i mean)
