Hey, that rhymes.
This week’s podcast checks out the non-E3 publisher direct shows, from Microsoft to Ubisoft. Of course, Starfield was the big reveal, and it did not disappoint. There was very little news thanks to the conferences, but there’s nearly two hours of show this time.
Let us know what games interested you.
This week follows the stunning announcement over the closure of Telltale Games and the repercussions of the shuttering of one of the most influential companies in the industry. There’s also Scott continuing to gush about Dragon Quest XI and Jonah enjoying the 2008 version of Prince of Persia again. That, and Fallout 3 headlines the Gaming Flashback.
News of the week include:
Let us know what Telltale Games you were hoping to see in the future.

The news this week includes:
With that is Reader Mail and the Queston of the Week: What was your favorite Atari 2600 game?
Nintendo has already announced the Wii Motion Plus at E3. This device is supposed to fine tune the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii controller and make it a bit more refined for gaming. Sounds, to me, like a hardware patch, no?
1up is reporting:
“The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion,” says Nintendo. “Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone.”
This is a great move, technologically, for Nintendo but what gamers really are looking for along with this advancement is… games.
Yeah, they did it as a Fathom event in Portland and I went… good stuff. Nice seeing what Fable and Avowed might look like when they come out.
The Internet is already talking about “No Man’s Skyrim”. I’m cautiously optimistic. It seems VERY ambitious. Between ship building, habitat building, space travel, trading, combat, a room full of sandwiches, it’s a lot…
