All this and more as Simone joins us for our most devastating episode ever!

A few months ago, I wrote a two-part article recommending thirteen post-millennium horror games I had played and enjoyed (see part 1 here and part 2 here). Well, I better now increase that number to fourteen, as since the time of writing I’ve played ZombiU and it’s easily one of the best horror games I’ve experienced for a long time.
Developed and published by Ubisoft and released exclusively on Nintendo Wii U as a launch title for the system in 2012, ZombiU is a first-person survival horror game set in London sometime after a zombie apocalypse has devastated Great Britain and left England’s capital teeming with the hungry undead, who are still much less ignorant and pushy than many of the people who crowd the London Underground every day in reality.
What is going on with 3DRealms? I feel like I’m going crazy here! Paul gets chilled out with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Ben is Banished and James plays some more MMOs or something (more ESO and FFIVX). Throw in some news attack and crowd funding and some epic disappointment in the general reaction to Lords of Shadow 2 and you’ve got a podcast. This one!

Flappy Bird took the world by storm… and now it’s gone. Loadout is still here though with flappy bits everywhere! As is Episode 2 of The Wolf Among Us. There’s a new take on Sonic to speculate about along with a new Amnesia fortnight and Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes. Please don’t forget about the amazing kickstarters though! DO IT FOR OUR FUTURE!

You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out. You put your front left foot in, you put your front left foot out. You put your back right foot in, you put your back right foot out. You do the Octopokey and you turn around. That’s what it’s somewhat about.
We talk Octodad: The Dadliest Catch, Pyro Jump, Nintendo’s new strategy, XBone rumours and much more in today’s episode which also includes an overly aggressive News Attack.

Nintendo is dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed except for all their money and fantastic games. Nidhogg rules and so does the DayZ Standalone, King.com try to sue the candy out of everyone, Assassin’s creed meets Batman Arkum Asylum in Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and a truly knock out week of crowd funding projects await within.

The Kickstarters are returning! See the proud creatures as they roam freely through the open fields of the interwebz. Also we talk about Double Fine’s Broken Age, if game discounting is a good thing and valve did so much this week it gets its own news attack.
