E3 has come and gone again, and in this Partners in Lag, we talk about some of the highlights — and lowlights — of E3, from the surprise awesomeness of the 3DS to Ubisoft’s laser tag… thingy. We also engage in a no-holds-barred, spoilerific discussion of Red Dead Redemption, now that both of us have (and hopefully some of you) have finished it.
We also have a craptastic 16-bit remix of the podcast theme to ring in the show! Let us know what you think.

We’re not quite back to our regular schedule, but we’re getting better! This episode, we discuss the standardisation of gaming — features like cover systems and XP-driven multiplayer that seem to have gone from neat ideas to mandatory features. We also delve in to more Red Dead Redemption impressions, and a few other games, too.

In this latest episode of the Partners in Lag podcast, Asz and I discuss controls and movement in games — building tension by limiting controls, automatic vs. manual cameras, when controls go bad, and a whole lot more besides. We also cover Nintendo’s big game announcements, and talk about classes in Mass Effect 2.
