The Wii U is almost here and with it comes a whole heap of launch titles, which got us thinking: what are the best launch titles ever?
Game companies are putting more and more effort into big budget trailers, but have they gone too far? This week the gang (minus Tara, plus Jackie) discusses exactly that, pondering what makes for a good video game trailer. And of course, there’s an inevitable video game to movie comparison.
Dishonored is out this week, and a lot of people are really concerned about the game’s length. This got the gang thinking – how long should games be?
The gang is back for another Casual Friday! This week our thoughts were on the Mass Effect Trilogy and Assassin’s Creed “Trilogy”. How do we feel about story branched across multiple games? Do they make it too hard for new fans to get into? Should franchises go for a more James Bond-style approach?
Valve’s already announced Big Picture mode and now they’re hiring hardware developers. Does that mean the Steam Box is coming? And is a Steam Box even a good idea? What do you think?
So yeah.
The kids are heading back to school, so Max, Tara and I reminisce about our time as students and how it was impacted by video games.

This week on Casual Friday, Max, Jackie, and I discuss the games we’ve missed. We all try and play as many games we can, but there are always some that slip through the cracks. Some of which we’re not too proud of.
What big, important game did YOU miss?
Max, Tara, and I sit down to discuss the rules around spoilers. When is it ok to talk about the endings of games? Are people oversensitive to spoilers? These are the questions we grapple with in this weeks Casual Friday. How do you think spoilers should be handled?
