Tom's didactic (that means fantastic right?) review of Dyad has appeared at LaserLemming.com.
It’s an exhausting experience; a beautiful experience that is as brutal as it is hypnotising.

Episode 3 of Game Under Podcast
Tom Towers and Phil Fogg continue to fail in their resolve to keep this a monthly podcast by producing a third one in as many weeks.
We break the regular format to talk about Nintendo skipping E3, EA Partners shutting down, Shinji Mikami's new game and the Dragon's Crown controversy.
Tom also defiles the conceit of our YakuzaKillzONE minute, and we give some final thoughts on the games we have finished this week including Bully, Serious Sam 3 and Spec Ops: The Line.

Thomas Was Alone May Be Heading to 360
I played Thomas Was Alone earlier this year and found it to be a charming re-mix of the style of puzzle-platformer that was originated by Blizzard's The Lost Vikings.
TWA was released this week on PSN for PS3 and Vita (crossplay enabled).
I spoke to the game's creator Mike Bithell via Twitter earlier, looks like a 360 version is not out of the question.
Which means to me there is no (paid for) timed exclusivity in place (or he otherwise would not have mentioned it). That Bithell went with Sony because they showed interest and got the deal in place. This a good sign for Sony.
Besides all that though, give Thomas Was Alone a try, it's a great game on Steam or on PSN.

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.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have now been approved by Apple for an iTunes podcast listing.

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.
Phil
