We spoke about Tom's review for Resident Evil: Revelations at laserlemming.com in this week's podcast, well it is now up for all to see.
It was interesting to read how a game designed for a hand-held system could jump the chasm and be playable on PC and home consoles. It will be interesting to see if more portable games follow suit given the advanced tech in the Vita and 3DS.
Revelations is—deep down—an action adventure game and not a survival horror one; though nor is it a straight forward third person shooter in the vein of Resident Evil 5.
This image best sums up the 3DS' graphic capabilities, now brought alive on PC and the home consoles.
This week we have breaking impressions (or broken impressions really) of Resident Evil: Revelations for the PC and consoles.
Tom also gives us impressions of Metro: Last Light and we break down the week's news as well covering NPD, Nintendo Direct, EA dropping DRM and of course we make time for a KillzONE Minute. Thank You for listening.

You have to do something while recording. I doodle. Tom... well, you can probably guess.
With Halloween coming up in just five short months we decided to make out Big Show a horror special. We talk about the horror games we've played in the last month, give embargo-breaking Deadly Premonition impressions, interview a horror gaming expert and talk about our favorite horror games.
Yeah, pretty organized eh?
Pretty creepy.
Tom Towers might be a pretty self-centred guy, to the point where he talks about himself in the third person just so that he can expand his personable vocabulary beyond me, myself, and I, but sometimes he likes to talk to other people as well. On these rare occasions, the people involved are pretty damn awesome, and Joost Van Dongen just so happens to be one a pretty damn awesome person. You can read Tom Towers' utterly fascinating discourse with Joost Van Dongen here, as mentioned on Game Under Podcast Episode 4.
It's a GTA-themed show this week. Yes, we've put up another short show before next week's big monthly edition.
If you don't like GTA there is still plenty for you to listen to, we keep most of the GTA stuff before the introduction... except the introduction comes 37 minutes into the show. Bwah ha ha HA!
Oh and we also introduce our anonymous source this week.
Thanks for listening!
Okay, so Tom is on a tear, two reviews this week. But what, what's this? A review for a film? Must be one of those non-interactive games I've heard about, maybe it will catch on.
Hot off the heels of Zorba the Greek and seemingly shoehorned into the film—just as Julie Andrews was—for the purpose of marketing. Oh, but what heavy handedness it is! She is pathetic, brutal, and hilarious all at once. She’s completely over the top, hamming it up like there’s no tomorrow, and at the same time crushingly tragic. It’s an exceptional performance, and the fact that it doesn’t seem to fit the narrative pacing makes it feel somehow right: remember that Paul Newman and Julie Andrews may as well have fallen down the rabbit hole as much as caught a plane to East Berlin!
Oh, and spoilers of course.
Play that funky music, white boy.
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.
Tom Reviews a Media Player Visualizer.
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.

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.
