In this first episode of our brand new podcast we bring you a seriously packed show. First up we hit the big releases form the past week, which mostly means Torchlight 2 and Borderlands 2 with a few downloadables sprinkled in for good measure.
Then it’s onto news in which we discuss some of the bigger stories, including BioWare’s Founders retirement, a new Ninja Gaiden spin-off, the new even slimmer PS3 and Starhawk multiplayer getting a standalone release.
In Hot Topic our very own Todd Schlickbernd leads a discussion about sequels, followed by some of your opinions and questions on the matter. We round things out with more community questions, which leads to a lengthy discussion on the future of Nintendo.

While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Whoo!
BOOM. Podcast.
