This week we have first impressions of PayDay 2 and some Final Summations of Thomas Was Alone, Vanquish, Red Faction, Another World and Worms Revolution (as well as the week's biggest news).
Thank you for listening, and please, share our show if you like it.
In the next show we'll be talking about Bastion, among other things, so I figured I'd pull out a review from Tom's past. This was lost to the sands of time when robotgeek.co.uk went under, but I've brought it back to life for all the internet to read, right here.

First-Person Action RPG's. There are not a lot of them, so far as I know there are two that have been published, Zeno Clash and Zeno Clash II which makes them the absolute best (and second best) in their category.
Now I think about it though, wouldn't Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls series also be described as First-Person Action RPG's?
Well, in any case, Tom Towers, my esteemed and long-suffering co-host has reviewed the newly released Zeno Clash II over at laserlemming.com.
While the characters might still be complete with their funky hair and primitive dispositions on the PS3, the world itself is only a shell of its true self. And any moments of intensity from the PC version that weren’t taken from you by a glitch, are taken from you here by the unreliable and at times unplayable frame rate.
That is one pissed off crab.
Wow, I went a whole week without giving you all a post, sorry. But to make up for it, we have one of our best shows ever. The explanation for the image below is in the show, as well as our impressions of Zeno Blade 2, Retro City Rampage and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine along with Pikmin 3 and the week's other news.
$150. Will Phil Buy It?
This week we've both played Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, Bioshock Infinite, and Tom has a few views of his own on Worms Revolution and Mystery Game.
We also go over the week's news. Thanks for listening.

Semper Fi!
Tom has reviewed the latest re-make of Leisure Suit Larry, the groundbreaking Sierra adventure game from the 80's/ 90's.
The simple puzzles combined with the fact that the rest of Reloaded moves along at a wandering, nonlinear pace across an equally flexible structure only helps to exaggerate the finicky nature of the interface and vice versa.

It's BIG SHOW time again, two features, three aural reviews, some news and countless side-tracks. We have a Walking Dead spoilercast, a spoiler-free review of Walking Dead: 400 Days, a review of Bioshock 2 and some impressions plus a review of Hotline Miami. And more (seriously).
Check it out here, and thank you for listening.

Praise the Utopian.
The opportunity to interview Craig Zinkievich, the COO of Cryptic Studios and Executive Producer of Neverwinter doesn't come up often, so when it did Tom Towers sprung at the opportunity.
You'll enjoy the individual care taken with the responses (that were fielded from a community of Neverwinter fans).
Tom previews The Raven: Confessions of a Master Thief, we talk about Killzone 3 for the last time ever and Phil gives his first impressions of Halo:CE HD and Activision Hits. We also cover the week's news, give an aural review of Bioshock and have a discussion about direction in games and the best and worst gaming collections in history. Listen here.
Not that Raven.
Here are a couple of videos from Bioshock Infinite. I'll be talking to Tom to try and figure out what is going on with this game in the upcoming episode of The Game Under Podcast. If you have anything to say or ask about Bioshock Infinite and would like to have your tweet on the air contact me @gameunderphil
