Unfortunately, we had to skip a week despite recording a good podcast thanks to technical difficulties – don’t worry, we’ll air it at some point in the near future. It was a good episode. This episode had its own issues, as Jonah was unable to record the podcast at home, so he was outside in the New York City night air podcasting with TJ and Scott.
This week’s news includes:
- Microsoft cancels Fable Legends, closes Press Play Studios, considers shuttering Lionhead Studios UK

- 10 months later, MAME finishes its transition to open source
- Valve announces The Lab, a compilation of free VR “experiments”

This week’s gaming podcast covers a bit of the Microsoft Press E3 news, a tiny portion of our own opinions on Kinect and a slight bit of a gaming flashback on Beat ’em and Eat ’em, an Atari 2600 “game.” A game by any other name would have to be a porn… and that’s as close as we get to one. This weeks news includes:
- DreamCast games coming to PSN and Xbox Live
- Sony trying to bribe people to buy a PSP Go
- Activision‘s Indie Game Competition is Sneaky
- Microsoft partnering with Disney and Star Wars
- Microsoft releasing an Xbox 360 Slim
- Next Assassin’s Creed due out in November
- E3 Microsoft Media Conference
