This week we present one of our early shows that you likely have not heard. Tom and Phil used to host a different podcast, this is one of our shows from February 2012.

As you can tell not much has changed, but a distinctive part of that podcast was keeping in our breaks and end of show comments.

In this episode we talk about Final Fantasy 7 (PS1), Shadow Hearts (PS2), Game Dev Story (Mobile), Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (360), Halo 3 (360), Killzone 2 (PS3), Yakuza 2 (PS2), Prey (360) and Binary Domain (PS3).  Asura's Wratch also gets our Fake Reviews (TM) segment treatment and much much more.

Oh, re-mastered. If that matters. Oh and kangaroos.

Who is watching the watchers? Tom F'n Towers and Phil F'n Fogg, that's who!

We talk about a lot of things including incriminating acts of vandalism, friends who eat too much, Stalin, other podcasts and XL Cities (and Shovel Knight), but the big thing we go into this show is the elephant that has been sitting in our kickstarter-funded studio for 51 episodes. Game Reviews. Our personal tastes as well as a complete deconstruction of the literary form.

And what game drove Tom Towers toward never reviewing another game again?  You'll have to listen to find out on this week's Game Under Podcast.
