This week we continue (and end) our Naughty Dog obsession with Tom's completion of Uncharted 3 (he reveals his score as well).
Phil Fogg is joined for the second half of our show by Dave Ader, were they discuss The Last of Us with plenty of gameplay and story spoilers.
Upcoming guest co-host Dave Ader just put the final touches on his The Last of Us Review. Join us in our next podcast where Phil and Dave will discuss what makes this game such an enjoyable, and ground-breaking experience.
It's a short show this week, Tom continues to barrel through the Uncharted series (this week he beat Uncharted 2). I have my latest notes on Last of Us and we address the big news of the week, including NPD, Xbox ONE-80 and Aussie pricing of the next gen consoles. My favorite part? Tom's yak opinions.
The podcast does contain spoilers for both Uncharted and Uncharted 2, which are noted in the show notes.

Phil plays a mystery game, one that you won't believe he is actually playing and playing well. Tom gives hands-on impressions of this week's big release from France, Remember Me, (and some how we do not use bad french accents or besmirch the people of France in the process).
Thank you for listening. If you like the show, consider subscribing (links to the right).
Tom and I put together a real humdinger this weekend. We clear the decks with final impressions of several games, and give you a back-end Deadly Premonition treat.
Oh and new, higher-quality audio, without a hit on your download file size.

The Grateful Dead is, under no interpretation, "techno".
After selling out with his last review, Tom Towers is back to confuse and arouse with his esoteric review of Metro: Last Light.
"It was my own stupidity that first introduced me to the potential of the gameplay. It was the second or third time that I had ventured from the safety of the underground to the grey, dangerous drudgery of the outside world. The rain was falling heavily which meant that it was hard to see because of the thick drops of water collecting on my gas mask’s visor. I had to stop playing soon, so was in a rush. Triumphantly, I reached the climax of the level after a rather dull fight with some monsters whom—while no smarter—were at least more agile and faster than the human cannon fodder. Even so, it still came across as little more than a shooting gallery; their attack patterns predictable and easily intercepted even in the pouring rain."
But, uh, start from the beginning because power outages in the cold are hardly tantamount to sweatshop conditions.
We give some original takes on the Xbox One launch, first impressions of Deadly Premonition and and our final thoughts on Malicious, Tomb Raider 2013 and Resistance 3.
Oh, and please remember to subscribe on iTunes or your favorite RSS reader.
Thank you also to all of you, we really appreciate your listening, tell a friend if you like the show, or an enemy if you hate it.
Still doodling.
We spoke about Tom's review for Resident Evil: Revelations at laserlemming.com in this week's podcast, well it is now up for all to see.
It was interesting to read how a game designed for a hand-held system could jump the chasm and be playable on PC and home consoles. It will be interesting to see if more portable games follow suit given the advanced tech in the Vita and 3DS.
Revelations is—deep down—an action adventure game and not a survival horror one; though nor is it a straight forward third person shooter in the vein of Resident Evil 5.
This image best sums up the 3DS' graphic capabilities, now brought alive on PC and the home consoles.
