This week, Steve drops his first thoughts on Mass Effect 3 and swings a sword or two, Jon gives his two and a half cents on Twisted Metal, and Kev plays more Skyrim. There's also news, release dates, pondering the illustrious Tim Schaefer's Kickstart initiative, and teasing last week's lost episode that Steve inadvertently destroyed. FYI: This episode contains no references to Jem and the Holograms, so you're safe... for now.

This week, Steve and Kev spend some time with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, while Jon wades back into the JRPG pool with Final Fantasy XIII-2. There's some love for Syndicate, more Jem and the Holograms talk than should be considered healthy, a roundtable discussion on the Used Game side of the industry, and how we feel about pre-owned lockouts on next gen systems, online passes, and Curt Schilling's views on Free DLC and online codes. This is one for the ages!

This week, the boys return from Christmas vacation to reveal the exciting video game presents found under their Christmas trees, talk the next generation game consoles, and rant about crappy gaming gifts from Christmas' past.

Join Steve, Jon, and Kev as they deliver the end of year goods. Snazzy non-awards are handed out to the best of 2011 as voted by you the readers! The boys then lay out their own top fives (and honorable mentions), before unanimously agreeing on Blast Processing's Game of the Year. There's also a little talk of what looks good in 2012.

This week's episode sees more talk of Skyrim, as Kev puts the final nail into the main quest. Meanwhile, Jon gets his Smackdown on with WWE 12, and Steve continues his hate march against the Nintendo 3DS. Plus! The boys finish out 2011 with talk of their favourite gaming moments.

On this week's episode, the boys stop talking about Skyrim (briefly) to share some thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Then there's the usual Bethesda love and some news, before everything degenerates into a Nintendo hate-fest when Jon asks, "What would you do to save the 3DS?"

On this week's episode of Blast Processing, the boys ignore all these great new releases like Zelda: Skyward Sword, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and Saint's Row: The Third, in order to gush some more over Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and other games that do not have colons in their titles. There's also news, Uncharted 3 disappointment, and some King of Fighters XIII talk for those who may care. All 4 of you.

This week, the boys grab their axes and chainmail and get lost in the Misty Mountains, Mead Halls, and loose Women of SKYRIM! There may be talk of other games, but it all seems futile and without merit after experiencing Bethesda's latest Elder Scrolls epic.

This week, our boys spread a little love all over Naughty Dog's latest masterpiece, Uncharted 3! The usual suspects also return: Batman, Deus Ex, Dark Souls, and Call of Duty. Don't miss our in-depth roundtable on classic linear scripted experiences vs. emergent gameplay, and why we think the two can co-exist. Trust me, it's a lot more exciting than it sounds.

On this week's episode, all three of the boys still love Batman: Arkham City, while Steve spends some quality time with Battlefield 3, and Jon plays some Kirby, Kev decides to take his chances as some sort of harpoon wielding cloud whale thing. Being topical and all, we also sound the drums of doom for Nintendo, what with all their recent financial woes. Rated M for Mature.
