Tonight's main topic is about games which have left a lasting legacy. Should titles which revolutionized the industry be held to a different standard than others? Is it right to dismiss games which did something innovative first because others took that idea and made them better? What modern games have introduced things which will be copied and perfected in the future? We discuss all of this.

This week's news topics include:

*Warner Bros. knowing that the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight was fucked up for months.

*Allison Road, a game inspired by P.T. and Silent Hills is in development.

*Original Ryo Hazuki voice actor returning to reprise his role in Shenmue III.

*Latest details on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Brian Munjoma, Chris Sealy, and Randil Hines.

Today's show is about all things Batman: Arkham Knight. Many of us on the show are playing (and loving) the game so we talk about what we think of it so far. Not all is rosy with the game however, so we also discuss the botched PC port of the game and also about some of the questionable DLC practices that Warner Bros. has initiated with the release of this highly anticipated title.

On the news front we discuss Destiny's Red Bull partnership and about how silly it is. Finally, we talk about how the PS+ Edition of DriveClub has (finally) been released.

On this episode we welcome our good friend Weapon X who many of you may remember from The Video Game Warzone and who is always talking to members of Throwdown on Twitter. We also have a surprise appearance from Torrence Davis who wanted to correct us about Batman and Destiny. In addition, Brett gets on his soapbox to talk about Ark.

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Brian Munjoma, Rachael Murdock, Brett Murdock, and Chris Sealy. Special thanks to guests: Weapon X and Torrence Davis.
