This week, there’s only one news item, but that’s because Jonah Falcon returns from PAX East 2012 to discuss the games he managed to check out and even play, including Assassin’s Creed 3, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Civilization V: Gods & Kings, Max Payne 3, Spec Ops: The Line, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, Borderlands 2, Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 3, Orcs Must Die! 2, Tera, Solitaire Blitz, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Mark of the Ninja and Code Hero.
The show does cover one news item:
- Zelnick regrets predicting THQ’s demise in six months
Finally, a new contest: win a free copy of Civilization V Special Edition on Steam. To win it, just state what your favorite civilization in history is and why. All that and Reader Feedback and a special surprise at the end!
Episode 498: Part Men, Part Games, All PodcastEpisode 498: Part Men, Part Games, All Podcast
This week’s podcast is a little late thanks to life interrupting, but better late than never. We discuss the Gaming Flashback, Robocop, and other weird tangeants that have nothing to do with videogames.
The news this week includes:
- PUBG is “considering” region-locked servers
- Rare cancels planned Sea of Thieves “death cost” after player complaints
- Red Dead Redemption 2 leak teases Battle Royale Mode
All this and Listener Feedback.
Episode 383: Get Some Board Games InEpisode 383: Get Some Board Games In
This episode was recorded on short notice thanks to last week’s late posting, so the Listener Feedback that responded to 382 couldn’t make it here. Paul and Jonah discuss some board games with remarkably similar themes they played in the past few days. Paul also waits for his compensation for The Sims Freeplay.
The news of the week includes:
- Microsoft discontinues Kinect for Windows
- Microsoft says open source Windows is “definitely possible”
- OnLive shuts down streaming games service, sells patents to Sony
- Mario Maker gets release date
No Listener Feedback this week, so the Question of the Week remains the same: “What do you think the future is for old games?”
