With Nate Andrews, Reviews Editor on NWR, Jonny, Guillaume and James shoot the crap on the adequately priced Fractured Soul, the enraging FTL, the non-derivative Starship Defense and Renegade Ops, the imperfect Touch Detective and the nostalgic Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
The crew then reads the listeners' mail: hand-wringing over the Wii U price, bundles, backwards-compatibility, a digital copy of Nintendo Land, etc. We also get some really interesting survey results from a high school teacher who wanted to know what games are most beloved by today's students.
