First up in news … it’s reviews. Weird, right? Richard, Alexander and Ben start the show off with a bit on Richard’s Asura’s Wrath review, and why length should not necessarily factor into the judgement of a game’s quality. Nintendo Direct talk starts the real news section, and the guys are sure not to miss word on the next Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect 3 reversible cover art, and the horrifying premise of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Also, game review theory, and lots of it.

The second segment is all about Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in an interview with Remedy Entertainment’s Oskari Hakkinen. The discussion covers the gamut from the inception of the XBLA release to what the future holds for the troubled scribe.
