Super Joystiq Podcast 043: ARMA 3, Metro Last Light, TMNT, StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast can't tell the difference between snow and tears.
Xav, Ludwig, and Mike Schramm kick off the games talk with two European first-person shooters: Metro Last Light, and ARMA 3. Also on tap, Mike's thoughts on Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, a few more thoughts on God of War: Ascension, and Ludwig weighs in on Tomb Raider and the forthcoming downloadable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
Alexander, Jess, and Mike Suszek are already in Boston gearing up for PAX, but the news stops for no one. This week, John Riccitiello leaves EA, Supergiant's Transistor is revealed, SimCity is still making waves, Saints Row 4 has a trailer and release date, and more.
Be sure to catch the games segment recorded live on YouTube every Thursday. This week's edition can be seen on the Joystiq YouTube page, and after the break.
