It’s an all-new Tom sandwich. The filling? A mangy old slice of Chris. Discussed? The future of Bioshock, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Invisible, Inc., and the failings of Star Wars: Battlefront.
Plus your many questions, encompassing such topics as orbital lasers, worthy games for kids, and the further highs and lows of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Show notes
- Bioshock is a ‘permanent franchise’, according to 2K.
- 2K Marin is indeed supposed to be working on Bioshock, but this was said last year.
- Tom F very much likes Invisible, Inc’s game-extending expansion, Contingency Plan.
- Chris does not like Star Wars: Battlefront.
- Tom S has no feelings whatsoever about Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Except perhaps ‘Tweet ennui’ and ‘there’s a cat there’.
- M Bison’s Psycho Crusher, which is also how the Emperor from Star Wars gets around.
- Dad-appropriate physics-based puzzler Armadillo Run.
- Mr. Odd’s SOMA playthrough (again).
- Akira’s orbital laser. Spoilers for Akira, obviously.
