The cloud-based gaming service is headed toward Google TV. Are you?
PB & Jason issue 71 is many things. Dignified is probably not one of them. Join me for a special week of PB & Jason, which includes things such as excerpts from Nick's Amy review, news of OnLive hitting all Google TVs, Club Nintendo downloadable titles, and more! Hooray!
Listen to Crew 2 talk about maturity in game storytelling in very immature ways!
Welcome to the second episode of PixlTalk Crew 2! Jason (of PB & Jason fame) sits in with the traditional trio of Julian, Rob, and Patrick. We discuss the maturing of story in video games, starting with the intriguing target footage of Rainbow Six: Patriots. That leads us into some debate over the merit of the Call of Duty series before things get really heated over Heavy Rain. Then we put on our silk robes and crank some Barry White as we discuss romance in games, with a focus on Half Life, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and...Zelda. Wait, what?
Disney Epic Mickey 2, Avenger Controller Customer Service, and the ESA/SOPA controversy fill out this week's PB & Jason.
Listen to this week's (best ever issue) of PB & Jason and find all you could ever want to hear about my thoughts of a sequel to Disney Epic Mickey. Spoiler alert: This is one 2012 release I'm not at all excited about.
A Final Fantasy XIII-2 Amazon.com preorder gives players a boss battle and party member. Why do the "when" and "where" matter when making a new videogame purchase?
This week's PB & Jason takes the idea of exclusive game content offered as retailer-specifc preorder bonus to the task, specifically in relation of Final Fantasy XIII-2. In short, I think the idea is ridiculous, and I'm surprised to see Square Enix using this tactic for a Final Fantasy title.
Nobunaga's Ambition is a franchise based by Tecmo Koei on Japanese history, so we'll have to wait and see how Pokémon fit in...
It may be issue #68 in number, but it became issue #1 in our hearts.
I could sit here and type out the things I talk about in this week's PB & Jason. I could tell you I go over my thoughts and opinions about the PixlBit Games of the Year. And yes, I could talk about how I mention the NXE and the PS3 lawsuit, or tell you another gift idea for the holidays.
Beginning somewhere in World 5, join Jason as he plays through more of Super Mario Bros. 3.

The first week of the second crew of the PixlTalk podcast debuts, complete with Vita whining and a hodgepodge of topics to conclude the show.
As hinted at a couple episodes ago, PixlTalk is going weekly once again. Rather than hearing the same crew every week, each crew will occupy alternating weekly time slots and tonight's episode is the first from the second crew. While Julian will ultimately take over the hosting duties, for this week previous podcast regulars Nick, Chessa, and Jason help break him into his new podcasting role.
Join Jason Ross to watch the replay of one of the most popular games of all-time!
We've all played this one (I hope). Super Mario Bros. 3. It's one of the top-selling games of all time, even before being rereleased. Mario first dons a power-up that lets him fly, there are colorful, challenging stages that are well designed, and there's even something of a fun and interesting narrative throughout the game. SMB 3 is a classic, and now I invite you to join me as I play through some of Super Mario Bros. 3.
No lions, tigers, or bears here, but we're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
Imagine a world where schools are secretly facilities to train kids to become fighter pilots. There is an underground spy at the school masquerading as a science professor. The fate of the world is at hand! Does any of this matter? Oh no it doesn't. Skimpy clothes on teenage anime girls, bullets, bullets, and more bullets, along with several boss fights define Otomedius Excellent.
