In this gameplay walkthrough of the mission "The Golden Cat", the co-creative directors Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith demonstrate the direct approach of playing this mission.
This week's PB & Jason was a little difficult to record...
Tonight: MAME cabinets, Zeboyd RPGs, and Pokémon. For whom is the 3DS XL the right choice? Earlier, I interviewed producers behind the Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess tour.

A listing on Xbox.com revealed the impending release.
Lately Sega has made a habit of digitally re-releasing several games from their last home console, the Sega Dreamcast. Titles like Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure are available on numerous digital platforms and Jet Grind Radio is on the way as well. However, it now looks like Sonic Adventure 2 will be added to that list.
Make sure you read that in your mind to the tune of Carmen Sandiego!
The show dates for E3 2013 have not yet been announced! Neither has the location! Did Carmen Sandiego literally steal next year's show? No? Oh. Well, looking at this year's E3, perhaps that's a bad thing. More on topic, this week's PB & Jason talks about the things that went wrong with E3 2012. As the show exited, most gamers were left with at least mild disappointment at the lack of coverage and announcements. Why? Find out inside! Also featured? Kirby's 20th anniversary collection and a tiny bit of Epic Mickey 2. Click through for the show's download and listening links!
A glimmer of hope for a played out genre?
If you’re feeling a little burned out from the deluge of indie puzzle platformers with unique art styles, you are not alone. Pid, which is just this sort of game, makes a good argument for you to make an exception: it’s being developed by the same team that created Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Although Bionic Commando: Rearmed was a remake of a perfectly crafted classic game, the development team that now makes up Might and Delight perfectly nailed the recreation of the original’s faultless controls and physics. Add a completely new game concept and art style to that proven record of gamepad artistry, and you’ve got a downloadable title that should be worth your time.
Gearbox supplies us with another awesome special edition
Gearbox software sure knows how to do a special edition. Coming off the announcement of the multiple and expansive editions of Borderlands 2, Sega has announced that the developer’s other big title, Aliens: Colonial Marines, will also be getting an equally cool set.
Learn about the ghost of E3 past, present, and future in this week's PB & Jason.
That's right, this week's PB & Jason talks about E3. The big event is coming up next week. How will you prepare for all the press conferences, demos, pictures, videos, and interviews? By listening to PB & Jason, of course! Long lines are covered, tiny bit of swag, a question of parties, too. The 90's shows are discussed, as are the later shows and micro-E3s of years gone. Hear the technicalities behind receiving a media badge and attending the show in this very exciting PB & Jason! Oh, right. There's a little bit of talk about the Zelda Symphony tour (Guess who's attending?), Mario Tennis Open, and Diablo III, too, so stay tuned for that near the end!
Is Tails the foil that accomplishes what Episode 1 couldn't, bringing Sonic back to his former splendor?
When Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I was released in 2010, it was meant to be a return to form for the blue blur, taking inspiration from the original Genesis titles. The results were mixed. So Sega went back to the drawing board for the next episode and fixed a few of the problems plaguing the first game. Although Ep. II evokes some of Sonic's previous glory, Sega still hasn't been able to fully capture the magic of the Genesis games, apparently content with yet another platformer that is only slightly above average in nearly every respect.
Gearbox Producer teases that the Wii U is a “Powerful, Powerful Machine”
Skeptics have been dismissing the Wii U since its reveal, claiming that the new console still will fail to hold a candle to the current generation consoles. Some developers have been going out of their way to dispute these claims, such as Vigil, the company behind Darksiders 2, claiming that the console will have a version of the game that is “at least as good as” the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. Gearbox however, goes even further to say flat out that The Wii U version of their upcoming title, Aliens: Colonial Marines, will indeed look better than the rest.
New "Suspense Trailer" released to help us cope with delay.
Aliens: Colonial Marines finally has a firm release date. After having its release window pushed back on several occasions, fans of the xenomorphs will be able to finally return to the doomed colony of Hadley’s Hope on LV-426 on February 12, 2013.
