Super Joystiq Podcast 014: Silent Hill HD patches, Wii U, Ouya funded, Steam software

Image
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast will not release on Xbox 360 due to "technical issues." Hey, it is what it is.

Richard is back on duty this week, and Alexander and Jess join the fun for a thorough recap of the week. On the games front, Richard has been playing Hybrid and Lucius, and as unique as 5th Cell's latest is, Lucius may be even weirder. Also, Jess hits indie puzzle game A Virus Named Tom. Talk Back features a number of topics including Sony losing The Last Guardian trademark, Wii U purchasing intent (or lack thereof), exclusive Assassin's Creed 3 DLC on PS3, and more.

In news, JC takes the reigns and guides Ludwig and Mike Suszek through the week's big stories. Needless to say, the guys are stoked at the prospect of picking up loads of classic productivity software from the inevitable Steam software sales.

Be sure to check after the break to see how you can snag yourself a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard!

And don't forget to keep it locked here on Joystiq next week for daily Super Joystiq Podcast specials straight from Gamescom 2012 in Germany.
