We move away from E3 and talk about what we've been playing.
E3 has come and gone and it’s time to focus on what’s really important, the games. This week we have a casual discussion covering what we’ve been playing and what we hope to play in the near future. We also delve off to discuss how 2013 is shaping up to be one of the craziest years ever for game releases, and the ludicrous notion that unfinished games receive awards at E3.
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.

Epic Mickey was released in 2010 to extremely polarizing reviews. Junction Point aims to address the criticisms of the game in hopes of reaching a larger audience with Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

The first game in the Oddworld series is getting a "from the ground up" remake.
The Oddworld series is a beloved franchise, but outside of a the recently released Stranger's Wrath HD port and the upcoming Munch's Oddysee rerelease not much has been heard.
