The first day of conferences are in the bag. Step inside the ++Good Games danger zone as we dissect Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo's pre-show offerings. Has Sony forgotten the Vita? Is Nintendo ready to grow up and play with the big boys? Did Microsoft deliver on more than just Kinect integration this year? We discuss all of this, as well as the show stopping titles on hand. Watch_Dogs, The Last of Us, Beyond - Two Souls, Epic Mickey 3DS, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed, and everything else noteworthy about the day is contained within.

As the ++Good Games Podcast celebrates three years of gaming-audio-excellence, we ask ourselves what other crowning jewel can we add to our crown? ++Good Games has had the pleasure, honor and privilege to have interviewed the likes of; Trip Hawkins, Tim Schafer, Terry Wolfinger, OXM, Eric "Shidoshi" Patterson, Aram Jabbari, Kat Steel, Justine Joli and many more! Well, the answer to that question, as we enter year four, is one of THE ORIGINAL founding fathers of the gaming industry, none other than, Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari, Chuck E. Cheese and many other companies). Nolan Bushnell is a man whose body of work spans over four decades and is still being added to today! It's a truly amazing journey ~ one that the ++Good Games Podcast delves into. We discuss a bit about the past, more about the present and learn of a vision that will change the future. Nolan Bushnell made his original mark by kick-starting the gaming industry with Pong, yet now he has his sights set on an exciting marriage of technology and education with Brain Rush. Make learning swift, fun and truly allow one to realize their fullest potential. This is an interview not to be missed.
From Bushnell to BioShock Infinite:Episode 58 starts off with a big ol' bang as we announce our upcoming interview with industry legend, Nolan Bushnell. From there we discuss James' recent 10/10 BioShock Infinite review, Anthony's two 3DS purchases and Neal goes on a tirade (TWICE) about the state of gaming. This episode covers BioShock Infinite, Bruce Campbell, Best Buy and Bushnell so if you have a vitamin B deficiency, this episode may be just what the doctor ordered. Plus, be sure to listen closely for your chance to win a copy of BioShock Infinite somewhere in the show (details in the podcast).
