264: A Lot Going on in Video Game Town

PlayStation dropped Kojima Productions' Physint... and Xbox picked it up. Nintendo showed the Ocarina of Time remake, and then went and announced a new 2D Metroid. Blizzard revealed a StarCraft shooter for 2030, Diablo V for 2029, and a forever version of World of Warcraft. Insomniac's Wolverine came out. Obviously this is a lot to talk about, and we do our best with all of it on this week's show!
