With Hitman Absolution, The Walking Dead, and DmC all making for some great dicussion this week, it is a shame that it had to be overshadowed by Nick's mustache and Mike's celebratory drinks.

Dishonored, the new stealth-action game from Arkane and Bethesda has certainly been one of the highlights of 2012. Jeff and Nick take this opportunity to have a detailed discussion of Dishonored while focusing more on a few of the games shortcomings. If you have not yet finished the game, avoid the ending because we close out the podcast with a little spoiler filled discussion about the game's ending.

Our E3 2012 and PAX Prime Games of Show (Dishonored & XCOM Enemy Unknown) have finally hit and they are doing a lot to fill the void left by the disappointing release of Resident Evil 6.

It is a sad sad week for anyone who once called themselves fans of the famed Resident Evil series. Resident Evil 6 has arrived and as we predicted since the release of the new demo, the game is disappointing in a lot of ways. We struggle to find redeeming qualities in that game but have instead found satisfaction in FTL, a surprise hit indie title that has taken the industry by storm in recent weeks.

Sorry for the delay this week. We have been scrambling to get the new website up and running so the podcast had to take a back seat. We wrap up some thoughts on Sleeping Dogs and Borderlands 2 this week and then give Brad and Carlos a chance to talk about their adventures at a local indie gaming event.

Arriving with the Summer of Arcade 2012 line up, Dust An Elysian Tail is a member of a genre that's seeing a declining membership these days: 2D metroidvanias.

One of the year's biggest surprises sneaks up on us this week and slits our throats... silently. Mark of the Ninja has proven itself as both worthy of your $15 and as one of the best stealth ninja games in the past decade! We also discuss the continuing success of the Walking Dead Telltale Series, Tekken Tag 2, and the senseless mass genocide that we must endure during turret sequences in games.
