Episode 05 - Typical Topics


Welcome back, guys and girls, to another instalment of Two Guys and Their Joysticks. In this fateful episode, Charlie ‘the English dream’ and the ever Polish Jacek deliver the news they scavenged from the pre-E3 silence- they work hard to bring you the latest goodies, including:

-Dying Light reveal (so scary!)
-The Curiosity iOS project
-KotoR on the iPad
-Unity on iOS FREEEEEE!
-Final Fantasy 14’s collector’s edition (+1 XP for Square Enix)
-Fary Cry 3 map editor: BLOOD DRAGON EDITION, SON!
-Remedy’s future plans

The chaps tell us about their recent gaming hijinks, too. Charlie’s finally had a go at Papers, Please and also dipped into the Chinese ninja warrior game, Mortal Kombat: Deception. Jacek, wonderful as ever, describes the worryingly enlightening Plague Inc and the absolutely badassery of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.

A special treat for you listeners this episode is a fan letter from a game retailer employee. We get to see his insights into the Xbox One, which are very interesting! Furthermore, landing with a controversial BANG is the episode’s discussion on the Saint’s Row genre, where it’s going, how we feel about it and what other folks are saying.
