Thumbstick Athletes

The title speaks for itself, this week we dicuss the lauded PS3 title The Last of Us and the excellent PC titles Company of Heroes 2.

Episode 100!!  On top of hitting our top 10 lists again, we invited some of our previous guests to join us in studio for an update on what they're playing, looking forward to, and thoughts on the new consoles. 

Our long (3 hours on E3 alone) recap on this year's E3, talking about the new consoles as well as a plethora of new games.

We talk about two new releases this week in the stunning indie puzzle platformer The Swapper and Cyber-punk action adventure game Remember Me.

For this week's episode we pick and talk about our top 5 games that we would use to sway a non gamer over to the good side.

This is the better quality recording of our last episode, which was recorded accidently with the webcam microphone instead of the usual mic/mixer.  It was taken from the livestream audio, so it sounds much better but not as good as usual.  The person responsible has been sacked.

With Microsoft finally having the reveal for their next gen system, we can finally weigh in.

We continue our talks on the Metro game series with the newly release Metro: Last Light.

It's just Dan and Corey this week, pre-empting the Metro: Last Light release by talking about the first game in the Metro series, Metro 2033.

For this week's episode, riddled with technical difficulties, we talk about recent indie releases Monaco and Don't Starve.

We catch up on some of the big news stories in the gaming world this week in lieu of our original idea for a show.

Developer/Publisher LucasArts was unceremoniously shut down after being acquired by Disney, so the Athletes pay homage to some of the better LucasArts games.

This week the Athletes recap a previously streamed multiplayer matchup of a classic RTS they all enjoyed in the past as offering their thoughts on the remake.

At a listener's request the Athletes talk about classic games they want to see remade, and in what way.

This episode contains SPOILERS!!! on the ending of BioShock Infinite, so only listen if you've finished the game or don't care about having it spoiled for you!

The new BioShock Infinite is unanimously well recieved by critics throughout the gaming community, so find out the the Athletes thought of it in this week's episode of the Thumbstick Athletes podcast.

We're hopefully getting back on track with the hangover episodes in discussing the upcoming BioShock Infinite.  Full episode on it later this week. 

In this week's podcast, the Athletes all have a different topic from the gaming world to discuss.  Will wonders what he should do about Sim City, Eric wonders which game he should play next, Dan wonders if $70 games are worth it, and Corey talks about the resignation of EA's CEO.

For this week's episode, we do a rundown of some of the iconic controllers from gaming's past all the way up to the current generation.  (and even talk briefly about the next gen controller we know about)

The episode title says it all.  Tomb Raider and Sim City are the topics of discussion this week, as well as the hot topic of the week....the dreaded always online DRM.
