Super Joystiq Podcast 058: The Bureau, NCAA Football woes, E3 & indies
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast has banana hands.
It may be the slow season for big releases, but there is no shortage of smaller games worth playing. Xav, Ludwig, Alexander, and Mike kick off the show with a look forward to Rayman Legends, and share impressions on Rogue Legacy, Deus Ex: The Fall, and Breach & Clear.
Also on tap this week: a lengthy discussion on the troubled state of EA's NCAA football franchise, Ludwig's preview of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, and how indie developers approach E3, other trade shows, and the costs involved.
