4PP 254: The Fish Sticks Show Jan 20, 2012

Show notes

Jack starts the show off strong with a guest rant about the developers of Amy. We discuss some pretty high-profile demos that hit Xbox Live this week including Azura's Wrath, the Darkness 2, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. One of those titles sends us spiraling into a heated conversation about some of the more questionable marketing ploys of today's biggest publishers. Max Payne 3 and Batman both make into the news this week and we share some of the more entertaining results of our recent community survey.

4PP 253: The 2012 Preview Show Jan 06, 2012

Show notes

2012 is Finally upon us and aside from preparing for the armageddon, there is a whole lot of gaming to squeeze in. In the first hour of this epic 3-hour podcast, we take some time to talk about the Witcher 2, Crysis, and David's distaste for green olives. Of course, the focal point of this week's show is the extensive list of 2012 releases that we run through for the bulky back-end of the show. Gathered by ourselves and then fleshed out with the help of the community, we run down a comprehensive list of games that will inevitably be holding our interest and fueling our discussions for the next year. Grab a pen and paper and get ready to write because 2012 is looking to be even more jam packed than 2011!
