This week’s Gaming Podcast is chock full of news and reader feedback. Rather than do a Gaming Flashback, a conversation about the middling sales of the PlayStation Vita is discussed, while Paul is anxiously looking for a black Wii U so he can play Epic Mickey 2. We also hand out the indie game prizes to our two winners.

This week’s news includes:

Star Citizen hits $4.5M stretch goal, biggest crowd fundraiser ever
Black Ops 2 1.03 patch doesn’t fix server issues
Deus Ex: Human Revolution film director tabbed
Spector: Epic Mickey 2 takes “choice and consequence to new levels“

This week’s Question of the Week: What was the best game you ever played that cost less than $5?
