Top Down Perspective

From the flu he returns! Sean is back to talk about finishing Ace Attorney 3, Cibele, and That Dragon, Cancer. He's also started up Lifeline 2, Downwell, and Churchill Solitaire. Jon continues with Super Ghouls and Ghosts and starts up Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. News is February's Games with Gold and PS+ and Mighty No. 9 getting delayed again.

Sorry for the late upload. Not a lot happening this week for games played and Sean's sick so the real draw for this episode is... NPD numbers! And a whole bunch of emails. There isn't a lot to say about this week's episode honestly. It'll kill a bus or train ride or something! Hopefully more happens for next week!

Games are moving slowly so we all dip into the back catelogs. Paul plays some Warframe and Binding of Isaac. Jon is starting Final Fantasy 4, Galak-Z, and continuing with Pokemon Picross. Sean dives head first back into Super Mario Maker and tries out Assassin's Creed Syndicate.  News has us talking about the Oculus Rift's release date and price point and the amazing new Emotional Games Awards. 

The year is over and so are games so we talk about our favorite from this last year of 2015.

We also had a survey running for the last month or so for our community and we tallied the votes and reveal what our listeners chose as their favorite games as well.

With the holiday rush starting to happen, we had to record a day early and a man short. Luckily, Paul's co-host over at Burning Barrel was ready to fill in for some video game talk!

Remember to take some time off t...
