GameBurst

[Replay] GameBurst Replay explores the beautiful and war torn 'Europan' landscapes in Valkyria Chronicles. Joining Gary on the review panel this month are Joshua Garrity (CaneAndRinse.com and GonzoPlanet.com), and Jerome McIntosh.Josh has produced a QuickRinse video review to accompany this episode of GameBurst Replay, which you can find at http:\\www.caneandrinse.com or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74SrETmnF1I

[News] After a very special announcement, Neil and Gary are joined by special guests Joshua 'Combine Hunter' Garrity and Jerome McIntosh discuss the latest gaming headlines. It's more sad news for GAME as the troubled retailer inevitably goes into administration. Assassin's Creed III on PC shies away from keyboard and mouse controls, which the next FIFA game shies away from retail. Microsoft reports that films and music are now more popular than games on Xbox 360. PlayStation 4 is rumoured to be named Orbis and includes anti pre-owned tech. Finally, Gearbox Software says Aliens: Colonial Marines has "much more to offer" on Wii U.

[News] The end begins as GAME files for administration - once again, GameBurst's thoughts go out to everyone affected. In lighter news, Sony officially announces LittleBigKarting and Disney lifts the lid on Epic Mickey 2 - a video game musical. Microsoft announces release dates and more achievements for Trials Evolution, Fable Heroes and Minecraft. Meanwhile Minecraft's creator Markus Persson discusses his idea for a Firefly-inspired Elite-style sci-fi game. Finally, BioWare considers changing Mass Effect 3's ending.

[Top Five] In the second of our special Top Five shows, we discuss our favourite bad games. Or at least games that The Press has deemed to be bad. The only rule was to choose titles that have a rating of less than 75 on score aggregator Metacritic. Do you agree with our choices? Think we've missed something out? Let us know: [email protected].

[News] There's more trouble for GAME as the struggling retailer announces it is for sale. Hope was found in several offers, but little progress has been seen. Rumours persist that Bethesda will create an Elder Scrolls MMO and that Sega will hit the HD button for Shenmue. Obsidian reveals it lost out on a bonus because of one Metacritic point, and the Giant Bomb crew return to GameSpot as CBS Interactive buys the independent games site. Plus, Diablo III's release date and that Achievement-erasing glitch.

[Roundtable] James, Gary and Mij take a look back at the last year of New Handhelds and discuss how they have performed in their sales, hardware and software. First, we take a look at the recently released PSVita and how that has sold in its first month of release and whether or not we believe it is superior to the second handheld we discuss, the Nintendo 3DS. Which is the best handheld in our opinions? Which do we use more? And what software are we looking forward to? Find out within..

[Roundtable] The GameBurst crew discuss the implications and context of moral decisions in video games. What information do we feel we need before we're presented with Mass Effect's crucial choices? How does the world of Fallout affect our in-game behaviour? How much do we expect the game to depict the consequences of our actions? And how do we want to see this narrative and design technique used in future?
