Game Under Episode 25

It's time again for another BIG SHOW, and for BIG SHOW 5, what better game to give first impressions of than GTAV. 

It is all anyone can talk about this week, but we find time to talk about some other games as well, including Saints Row 4, Saints Row 2, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief and because we have not talked enough about open-world crimes games we cram in a Tom Towers Aural Review of Mafia II.

Oh and the news.  Thanks for listening,

Generation 16 YouTube Series

Greg Sewart was always one of my favorite reviewers when he was at EGM, and now he is one of my favorite podcasters

For a while now he has been putting up a the series that showcases the games of Sega's Mega Drive.

His goal is to chronologically play and review every game released on Sega's greatest system, as well as outline some of the history surrounding the development of the games, the hardware, and the general goings-on of the video game industry back in the nineties.

I've enjoyed them, they are great to watch while you are writing or gaming and have prompted me to buy some older games that slipped by me at the time.  You can check it out here

Hey folks, just a heads up that you may be seeing some additional programming appear in your RSS feeds or other ways you subscribe to us. 

Tom is forcing me to edit his aural reviews into individual shows which will be available here on our site and also on our YouTube channel (more on this later). 

The first one I have done is from Episode 21, which is where Tom aurally reviews

Max Payne 3.

We agreed that this would be an easier way to find old ones, or at the very least a good way to skim though the aural reviews Tom has done in our first 23 shows.

Thanks as always for listening.
