This week’s a lot of discussion of comic book movies, including the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”. In fact, it dominates most of the podcast. However, there is some discussion of video games.
This week’s news includes:
- Free money suddenly showed up in some people’s Steam accounts
- “Obviously there’s going to be another Borderlands,” says Gearbox
- Rumor: Nintendo NX to be officially revealed this or next week
- Rumor: Xbox One upgrade under development at Microsoft
Question of the Week: “Would you buy a updated console like the PlayStation 4.5 or Xbox One and a Half?”
The undeniable rumor, as expected, has come to be true and Microsoft’s Major Nelson has revealed September 5th as the day the Xbox 360 shall drop in price. Although not surprising, this is really the first good price drop for the 360 hardware which does not involve phasing out an old product line.
Mass Effect 2 Information 
In an “unexpected” move, Ubisoft has opted to utilize the 1:1 accuracy of the Wii Motion Plus add-on device for the Wii remote in their next Red Steel sequel, currently called Red Steel 2. It may be most gamers consider this an unexpected move because they thought the series would be dead after the first launch title.
