Powetcast Episode 17: Cobra Commander’s Moustache

The twice-monthly Powetcast comes to 4cr! Do you like TV, Games, Comics, Movies and Toys? Then this podcast is for you!

Shaun Hatton joins me (your erstwhile Famicom Dojo producer) and the rest of the Powet crew for this latest episode, reacting to the news from GamesCom and BlizzardCon. Some you’ve already seen below, such as the PS3 Slim announcement and Fable II going episodic. These topics lead naturally into the roundtable discussion for this week: is high-priced disc-based gaming in trouble? If downloadable content is the future, will it be “episodic”?

We also review Ponyo and District 9, and Shaun gives his initial impressions of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
