Super Joystiq Podcast 013: Grand Theft Auto 5, Zynga in trouble, New Super Mario Bros. 2
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast welcomes you to Jurassic Park.
Xav returns alongside Richard and JC to discuss the latest games on their radar including New Super Mario Bros. 2, Jurassic Park Builder, and Great Big War Game. Segment One also includes a new "Talk Back" feature, where editors discuss a bevy of questions pulled from the comments in and around the video game industry, like: "What is one franchise you couldn't live without and one you could do without?"
In news, Alexander, Jordan, Jessica, and Mike Schramm discuss Grand Theft Auto 5's new viral campaign and its hidden status, Army of Two's latest entry, and a whole lot about Zynga's latest issues.
Be sure to check after the break to see how you can snag yourself on of six Steam codes for Awesomenauts!
