While we'd like to say this is a podcast with game reviews, let's face it, this week it's really about the news. And when we say "news" we mean, specifically, Microsoft's announcement that it will release a Kinect-free Xbox One on June 9. Of course, there's other news, and we do talk about games, but the big news really is the big news on this episode.In addition to the big news, we discuss:- Nick does a 180 on his prior review of Child of Light (it ain't good!), Titan Attacks, Drifter, Evochron Mercenary, Galaxy on Fire 2;- Xbox Live will no longer be required for streaming apps on your console like NetFlix and HBO Gop;- Microsoft will offer refunds for a limited time of annual Gold subscription fees for those who just want to stream;- Sony posts another massive annual loss;- XBox Games with Gold will no longer allow you to own your games after your Gold subscription expires;- Take Two will release a next-gen game sometime this fiscal year;Enjoy.
