Game Under Podcast Episode 52
Who is watching the watchers? Tom F'n Towers and Phil F'n Fogg, that's who!
We talk about a lot of things including incriminating acts of vandalism, friends who eat too much, other podcasts and XL Cities (and Shovel Knight), but the big thing we go into this show is the elephant that has been sitting in our kickstarter-funded studio for 51 episodes. Game Reviews. Our personal tastes as well as a complete deconstruction of the literary form.
And what game drove Tom Towers toward never reviewing another game again? You'll have to listen to find out on this week's Game Under Podcast.
The power of Pepsi.

Game Under Podcast 49
Tom Towers and Phil Fogg come out of hibernation to talk about artistic and commerical choices, Dragon's Crown, Killzone: Shadowfall, Watchdogs, Mario Kart 8 and also the Wii U hardware. Listen Here.
So...
I was thinking last night, which is better?
Doom 3 or Uncharted 3?
I think I'll be proposing a battle of the franchises in the next podcast.
Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2?
I see a trend. Okay, well at the time I was thinking about it it was a lot more interesting.
Tom Towers and I are still doing a podcast, we've just gone into hibernation for the Winter (remember we are in the Southern Hemisphere). Internet problems, illness and the World Cup have created the perfect storm that has prevented us from podcasting.
But we are still gaming, and will have plenty more to report when we finally do get our stuff together and actually record.
Also... I just started Killzone for PS4.

The Australian Winter can be debilitating. Last week I dislocated my thumb playing beach volleyball.
Game Under Podcast Ep 48
Leak? What leak? In this all new content, Tom Towers replaces Phil Fogg with Tim Keenan, co-founder of Misfits Attic, of A Virus Named Tom fame. Everything is discussed, from Tim Keenan's French roots to his obsession with partial information. Despite this fetish, he goes into minute detail in all his answers. Check it out here.
Game Under Podcast Ep 47
We deciduously avoid the news this week and instead give final impressions of Tearaway and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. And... c'mon, who would not want to hear Tom Towers pass judgement on 50 Cent Blood on the Sand?
We also talk about the best end credits ever, sophomore slumps, narration in games and also argue about if this is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius for games.
Tom Towers also tips his upcoming review of Warlock 2.
No Show This Week
Quite frankly, it was too nice a weekend to sit for 3 hours and record and then sit for 6 hours and edit. So we hope you enjoy our back catalog this Easter Weekend.
I have been enjoying 3D Dot Game Heroes quite a bit, and got a Vita, so expect some Tearaway impressions next show.
Thanks for listening.
Phil Fogg
Would you record a podcast when you could sit in the sun playing Vita looking at this?
Game Under Podcast Ep 46
We plan on going through 797 news stories this week, but some game impressions appear.
