That's right! Now a solid two weeks older and wiser, Max and I are back from holiday vacation with an extended hangover and a handful of hearty news. Because the studio was unexpectedly closed yesterday, we weren't able to bring you an episode as planned, so in its place we have a shorter, news-only segment for you today - it's not terribly long, but it's something at least.
On today's show we cover some hot topics from the past two weeks, including a list of some upcoming PS Vita launch titles, juicy rumors regarding the Wii-U, and an official unveiling of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, complete with teaser trailer. Max and I also chat about what games we played during the break, and I'm not at all ashamed to admit my 3DS saw plenty of steamy, hand-on-stylus action. What games satisfied YOUR boredom this holiday season?
