From The Vault: Binary Domain
Today I am dragging a Tom Tower's review out of the vault. Lessee what we got here.
*blows off dust*
Aw Yeah, this is a good one. Binary Domain. The guy who brought you Monkey Ball and Yakuza took a year off to make something unique and brilliant. And Tom had something to say about it:
...the characters might be stereotypical, but there is certain a degree of satire to their portrayal; even the Japanese stereotypes are presented somewhat unsympathetically, which is a change from Yakuza where loyalty and honour are presented in black and white, and the shades of grey explored through the characters; here often the opposite is true due to the more limited setting.
Boom! Headshot!

Episode 2 of Game Under Podcast
Tom Towers and Phil Fogg break from their monthly podcasting schedule to go over the week's news and anything else gaming related in their lives.
This week they discuss the release of the March 2013 NPD sales report and the Nintendo Direct conference.
Under an hour, this is a quick-listen, but we also make time for a Yakuza/KillzONE MINUTE segment.
Our show is under-par and so is Kaz.
iTunes Now Available
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have now been approved by Apple for an iTunes podcast listing.
Yes, Steve Jobs is turning in his grave.

Bioshock Infinite Review
"This game is more linear than the original but has much larger
and interconnected areas than Bioshock 2, so it strikes a balance
between the two. Which is great as it eliminates backtracking but keeps
the element of exploration."
Regular host of The Press Room Podcast, Dave Ader reviews Bioshock Infinite.
Dave goes into some gameplay details that I have not read elsewhere, so it's worth a read. I have not figured out how to format (or if we even want to) add numerical scores to reviews, so I'll spoiler it here -- he gives it a 9.3/10.
Episode 1 of Game Under Podcast
After years of podcasting together under a different banner, Tom and I launched our first (long) episode. But, we didn't just give you a first episode of a regular podcast, we give you over an hour of a SpoilerCast for Spec Ops: The Line. For most outlets that would have been good enough for a stand-alone show.
But don't feel like you have to listen to the whole thing (though you should). I have provided a full time-line on the episode page so you can skip around to what interests you.
This episode I particularly enjoyed our Features, which are a new... feature of our show.
Please let us know what you think, and if you liked the show tell a friend.
