Despite Phil's best efforts to
derail the show Tom Towers forges on and gives his impressions of
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl. Phil also goes on and on about
Killzone 3 and FIFA 13 (what is this, Freaky Friday?). We also talk about used games and piracy.
Anyway, if you are in Africa or Western Australia, please give us a listen.

Two new listeners disagree with Tom's correlation between Roadside Picnic and STALKER.
With little to no new releases on the horizon, and The Last of us in the books, prepare for this week's podcast by reading Tom Towers' classic review of Killzone 3.
I am playing it myself this week for the first time, so we'll have plenty to talk about. Tom is also going to be talking about S.T.A.L.K.E.R (I resent it already for all those periods).
If you have anything you want us to talk about, tweet me at gameunderphil.

This week we continue (and end) our Naughty Dog obsession with Tom's completion of Uncharted 3 (he reveals his score as well).
Phil Fogg is joined for the second half of our show by Dave Ader, were they discuss The Last of Us with plenty of gameplay and story spoilers.
Upcoming guest co-host Dave Ader just put the final touches on his The Last of Us Review. Join us in our next podcast where Phil and Dave will discuss what makes this game such an enjoyable, and ground-breaking experience.
It's a short show this week, Tom continues to barrel through the Uncharted series (this week he beat Uncharted 2). I have my latest notes on Last of Us and we address the big news of the week, including NPD, Xbox ONE-80 and Aussie pricing of the next gen consoles. My favorite part? Tom's yak opinions.
The podcast does contain spoilers for both Uncharted and Uncharted 2, which are noted in the show notes.
Above: Tom and Phil (left) re-enact the final scene from Uncharted 2.
We've talked about it for several hours on our podcast, now you can read Tom's definitive review at Laserlemming.com.
If you do want to listen to our prior coverage of one of the greatest games of the generation you can listen to episodes seven and eight.
Tom uses York to demonstrate his personal style.
E3 Reactions.
Last of Us First Impressions.
Naughty Dog Retrospective, including Tom's Aural Review of the first Uncharted.
And Metro 2033.
It's a big show, listen here.
10 out of 10 doesn't mean perfect. Here I join as one with my companion.
Phil plays a mystery game, one that you won't believe he is actually playing and playing well. Tom gives hands-on impressions of this week's big release from France, Remember Me, (and some how we do not use bad french accents or besmirch the people of France in the process).
Thank you for listening. If you like the show, consider subscribing (links to the right).
Tom and I put together a real humdinger this weekend. We clear the decks with final impressions of several games, and give you a back-end Deadly Premonition treat.
Oh and new, higher-quality audio, without a hit on your download file size.
Thanks for listening, and if you like the show tell a friend.

After selling out with his last review, Tom Towers is back to confuse and arouse with his esoteric review of Metro: Last Light.
"It was my own stupidity that first introduced me to the potential of the gameplay. It was the second or third time that I had ventured from the safety of the underground to the grey, dangerous drudgery of the outside world. The rain was falling heavily which meant that it was hard to see because of the thick drops of water collecting on my gas mask’s visor. I had to stop playing soon, so was in a rush. Triumphantly, I reached the climax of the level after a rather dull fight with some monsters whom—while no smarter—were at least more agile and faster than the human cannon fodder. Even so, it still came across as little more than a shooting gallery; their attack patterns predictable and easily intercepted even in the pouring rain."
But, uh, start from the beginning because power outages in the cold are hardly tantamount to sweatshop conditions.
