The latest game from Drinkbox Studios, Guacamelee!, is a charming Metroidvania style game that is certain to charm the pants off of fans of the genre. Nick sounds off with intial impressions of his first time playing Metroid Prime and Nolan shares his impressions of Legend of Dungeon. We also try to rationalize the teasers from Bethesda to no avail... somehow, we are sure this game is Prey 2. **Please excuse the temporary inconsistency of audio quality.

Our latest Subscriber of the Month, RangerXT, chose the original Bioshock this month; a game that is fun to talk about but also incredibly relevant given the the recent release of Bioshock Infinite. We also somehow manage to sprinkle in some discussion of Resident Evil 4, his other top pick for the month. Enjoy! Every month, we will choose a new subscriber of the month and allow them to choose which game we play for this podcast! Subscribing is easy and helps us to continue doing what we do!

Time for Cocktail Time...LIVE! (In the interest of time we've decided to push out the audio for CTT first with video coming later) This week Joseph, Chris watch in horror as Bob eats chees & bacon flavored crickets, and then to cleanse that horrific taste, talk up Bioshock Infinite! In hour two CTT welcomes special guest Will Brierly, creator of Soda Drinker Pro and Bob talks about his 'experience' with Micheal Jacson the Experience for Kinect and the glory that is Moonraker! Joseph finishes up with describing the final puzzle of Phantasmagoria 2.

Nolan is addicted. Addicted to a drug called Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT for short). Batman is set to make another big splash later this year on both consoles and handhelds and Far Cry 3 is having an identity crisis (in a good way). If you have finished Bioshock Infinite, stick around for the 3rd segment in which we have a spoilerific discussion of the games ending. But lets face it, if Bioshock taught us anything, its that you are going to listen... even if you don't. **Please excuse the temporary inconsistency of audio quality.

Tomb Raider is upon us and we talk at length about why we think the game came CLOSE to being one of the generations best third-person action games. Of course, that also begs the question of how does this impact the future of the Tomb Raider franchise? We also give hands-on impressions of The Last of Us and (attempt to) school Brad on the science behind Echolocation.

It's another big week in the world of video games. Just 4 months following the release of Assassin's Creed 3, Ubisoft has unveiled the next numbered installment in the franchise and it's a doozy.
