We came, we saw, we critiqued. The Xbox One was revealed in suitably buzzword-heavy fashion last night in an event beamed from a massive Redmond tent into millions of homes worldwide.

We slept on it and then convened to have a good old chinwag about the evening's revelations.

It's just Jon and myself this week as Carl was off investigating WildStar (stay tuned for some big articles on that very soon). We eviscerate Nintendo's depressingly meagre Wii U Direct this week and discuss the implications of Ninty's new deal with SEGA; we take a look at EA's abdication of Nintendo's ailing console; we dance on the grave of the Online Pass and delight in the news of GT6 and Putty Squad's return, 20 years after it was never released for the Amiga; and we take a look at the recent formation of DICE LA, and what it might mean for EA and Star Wars.

This week on the PWNCAST, we chat about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and the difficulties that come with creating parodies in this industry, before moving onto the topic of comedy in games, and the gaming experiences that have had us in stitches.

This week on the PWNCAST we take a closer look at two games we've all been getting stuck into. First up, its all about Defiance, as we chat about Trion Worlds' ambitious multiplatform MMO shooter. Then we move onto Soul Sacrifice. Can Keiji Inafune's inventive action title save the Vita?

This week, we deal with Microsoft's announcement about their pending announcement; we return to Nintendo's continuing woes, but acknowledge that at least they're starting to admit their mistakes; and we take a gander at the final acquisitions from THQ's demise -- specifically Gearbox's purchase of the Homeworld IP, and Nordic's gargantuan haul.

Oh yes, and then there's the matter of the omnishambles that is SimCity 2.0.

This week on the PWNCAST we get stuck into the subject of free-to-play games. We ask why the term is still considered by some to be a dirty phrase, we look at some of our favourite F2P titles and what developers and publishers can do to take full advantage of the model, and we cast our minds ahead and try to determine what the future holds regarding freemium titles.

This week's Game Buzz is mainly about new stuff. There's Shinji Mikami's The Evil Within reveal, we get to grips with all of the announcements from this week's Nintendo 3DS Direct and the unveiling of FIFA 14, and we return to the subject of singleplayer games in the wake of Pete Hines' comments this  week.

This week on the PWNCAST, Jon and Carl give their initial impressions of Defiance; we wax lyrical over Fire Emblem: Awakening and the notion of the 3DS as a must-have device due to its now-stellar lineup; and Matt goes bonkers and goes eBaying while drunk on nostalgia, leading to something of a Star Wars love-in.

This week, we find ourselves playing devil's advocate a lot. First we defend Windows 8's honour, and argue not only that it's possible the OS might not actually be the reason PC sales are down, but that it's made PC's accessible for many for the first time in years; we look at the latest rumblings from the rumour-mill, specifically Durango's backwards-compatibility or lack thereof, microtransactions potentially coming to Halo, and the resurfacing of Ryse on our radars; we chat a little about Bethesda's noise about noise, beg them to finish Prey 2, and look at Pete Hines' words on day-one DLC. Finally, we briefly discuss the emergence of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the new Dark Souls II gameplay footage, and the Flashback sequel from Paul Cuisset.

This week, we look at the closure of LucasArts and wonder if this is actually the best thing that could have happened to the ailing studio; we discuss the controversial breakthrough video games made with two composers reaching the top five in Classic FM's Hall of Fame; we applaud id Software's decision to restart Doom 4's development after not being happy with the current project; we chat briefly about the ASA involvement with the Aliens fiasco; and we breeze through this week's next-gen tidbits, including Adam Orth's naive remarks about always-online hardware.

We'll be honest, this week's podcast goes a little off of the rails. What we originally envisaged as a discussion centred around artificial intelligence programming in terms of companion characters in games became a hearty chinwag about some of our favourite companions.

We even manage to make a case for Slippy Toad being the Best Video Game Companion Ever!

This week we try to make sense of the Metal Gear Solid V reveal, wherein Kojima's explanatory presentation served to make everything even more characteristically confusing; we discuss Mitch Lasky's warning for EA regarding their console future; we pick apart the Battlefield 4 trailer, and lament yet another franchise skipping out on the Wii U; we take a look at Square Enix's change at the top as Wada resigns; and then we finish off by addressing Frank Gibeau's words regarding DRM...and kind of end up on his side.

This week we chat about the departure of John Riccitiello from EA along with the SimCity "redemption portal"; we look at Quantic Dream and DONTNOD holding firm against marketing interference; we discuss the "new" Durango report and the controversy surrounding always-connected services; and we give our impressions of the recent Transistor and Saints Row IV reveals.

As Richard Garriott might say, no other podcast comes close to the awesomeness of this podcast.

Carl and I were going to have an enormous chat about SimCity for this week's PWNCAST. In fact, we did have a natter about the game earlier this week for a good hour and a half. Unfortunately it's boring as all hell. What we had hoped might sound like a triumphant discourse in double-teamed critical dissection didn't really work, mainly due to the fact that we were very much still working out some solid thoughts on the game.

That's perhaps somewhat unsurprising given how much of a mess the first ten days of SimCity's existence has been.

Much in the same way we've abandoned SimCity for Jetpack Joyride on numerous occasions, we've abandoned the mess of a podcast for something small yet perfectly formed.

We've done it. With a little bit of help from our Crysis 3 winner - Teppic2000 - we've managed to get Carl to rap about the SimCity launch. And it's awesome.

He's even stuffed an Adam Jensen reference in there, just because he can.

In this week's show we lament the omnishambles of the SimCity launch, particularly in the US; we ask whether or not Crytek 3 can really be considered a "masterpiece"; we discuss "generational fatigue" and how it should be a development consideration rather than an excuse for a disappointing game; we take a brief look at EA's faltering relationship with the Wii U; and we natter a little bit about the upcoming Thief reveal.

In this week's show, we chat about the rumours of Microsoft prepping a reactionary presser for April, and give them some advice on how to mark an impression; we look at the rumours of a burgeoning relationship between MS and EA; assess the utter pointlessness of the Wii Mini; talk a little bit about the dirty word of the moment - 'microtransactions'; and lament the non-existence of Bioshock Vita.
