In this week's GI podcast, we catch up with Crysis 3 and the
latest Metal Gear game, plus delve into the debate surrounding microtransactions
in games.

Due to the big Sony PS4 announcement last week, we cut
Crysis 3 from the show. But that doesn't mean the game isn't worth discussing.
Crytek always delivers big-budget, graphically advanced thrills and, while this
game doesn't exactly break new ground, it's a satisfying shooter experience from
a studio that knows what it's doing. Host Matt Helgeson is joined by reviewer
Matt Bertz and Andy Reiner, who break down the game in detail – and talk about
why the PC version might be a glimpse of how games will look on next-gen
consoles.

Next up is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the collaboration
between Kojima Productions and the stylish action masters Platinum Games. It's
not your typical Metal Gear game, and it's new focus on action and lack of
storytelling gives reviewer Joe Juba, Ben Hanson, and Andy Reiner much to
discuss.

Finally, Matt and Joe are joined by GI PC editor Adam
Biessener to talk about the recent controversy over EA's decision to include
microtransactions in all their upcoming games. However, it turns into a more
broad discussion about consumer rights and the right and wrong ways to do
microtransactions.
