Nick and Brad reflect upon their experiences with "I Am Alive", a downloadable adventure/platformer from Ubisoft Shanghai. They discuss the game's troubled history, its similarity to survival horror, and the mechanics that make this one of the most memorable games of 2012 so far. There are some minor spoilers near the end of the show (See spoiler warning time stamps below) but any fan of platforming or survival-horror will want to give this a listen. Look for a possible volume 2 in the near future with Nolan to discuss the differences in "Hardcore" difficulty.

After a weekend at PAX East, the crew reflects back on the show and gives Brad and Nick a chance to chime in on some of the more noteworthy titles such as Hitman, Dragons Dogma, and Monaco. Capcom held their annual press event, Captivate early in the week and used it as a venue to debut new Resident Evil 6 and Devil May Cry details as well as a rather surprising announcement for Lost Planet 3. As you may have guessed, there is a lot to say about the announcements and some of it has to do with Volcanoes.
