Free DLC for Resi and Tekken made us smile this week as did the return of Chris Roberts and his new game, Squadron 42. Less fun was Rayman getting delayed, essentially removing the best game from the Wii U's launch lineup. Our reviews include XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Fable: The Journey and what could be game of the year, Dishonored. Features include survival guides for XCOM and Dishonored. Matt also gets extensive hands-on sessions with Far Cry 3 and the Wii U.
