This week, Naughty Dog rips our hearts from our chests once again with the first story DLC for The Last of Us. We also spent a hefty amount of time with the Beta for Titanfall. Who would have guessed that the minds behind Modern Warfare would whip up a pretty awesome First Person Shooter? Jazzpunk is not a music game, Harmonix is making a First Person Shooter, Irrational Games is living up to it's name, and we pay tribute to Free Willy with our new Kazoos. Damn guys... the insanity of 2014 has started. Share your thoughts about the games and discussion topics featured on this week's podcast! We want to know what you think!

It was only a matter of time before we talked about the insanity that is Rust. There's nothing quite like running naked through a field with nothing but a rock to protect you from the elements... and dudes with Kevlar vests. We also talk at length about Bravely Detault and Hearthstone (the gateway drug to WoW... Pray for Krispy). We also discuss our thoughts on the recently debuted gameplay for Evolve, the next-gen co-op shooter from the creators of Left 4 Dead.

It's Octodad week! Brad shares his thoughts on this goofy indie title in preparation for New Release Tuesday.

Brad has been getting deep into The Banner Saga, a kickstarted strategy RPG with a lot in common with Final Fantasy Tactics. Speaking of Final Fantasty Tactics... Krispy has started playing it finally and is developing a love/hate relationship with the game.
