Episode 29: Mobile Games Hey everyone! In this episode we discuss mobile games (iOS & Android) and how they compare to other mobile platforms like the Nintendo DS family.

Episode 28: Golf Games This week we discuss golf games, Konami’s radical shift in game development, and downloadable content. Specifically, we take a look at Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2013: Masters Collector’s Edition for the Xbox 360 and Kirby’s Dream Course for the Super Nintendo.
