We talk about the upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, David Jaffe leaves "Eat Sleep Play", Xbox Live's Stephen "StepTo" Toulouse is leaving Microsoft, Sony skimps on Vita PSP UMD support for the US/Europe, Double-Fine pulls off another miracle, Ubisoft proves why DRM is bad, Resident Evil: Revelations was released, and much more.  

We announced on the show our latest contest for the Podcast! Head over to Kickstarter to see where Double-Fine is right now on their amazing drive to raise money for a new adventure game that they are developing.  Once you check it out, post in the comments your closest guess as to what the final dollar value will be. The closest two people will each get a $20 card for their system of choice (Steam, Games for Windows, Xbox Live, Playstation Network, Wii Shop Channel, 3DS eShop, etc).  So let those guesses fly and see if you can win!

Read ahead for the new announcements that helped bring my hope back to this Zombie story!

This is a short epsiode that I pulled together on the road in California to get the ball rolling for the year and because I was getting WAY behind.  

The music for this episode is the "Arkham City Main Theme" by Nick Arundel from 2011's Batman: Arkham City.  

I talk a little about Zen Pinball 3D being released for the Nintendo 3DS eShop, Sony having some issues with the Vita, Modnation Racers for Vita lets us down, and why SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) has to be stopped along with my feelings and ranting on the matter.  

So enjoy this short solo episode with a promise that there will be more to come!

2011 brought us some of the greatest games yet along with amazingly messed up stories for us all to enjoy, and 2012 is already looking to have some of its own. We can look forward to the release of the Nintendo Wii-U, the inevitable console announcements from Microsoft and Sony, the ongoing war for your pocket between Nintendo, Sony, Apple, and Android to get your mobile gaming cornered, as well as what new games or returning favorites will be announced.

2012 will also bring about Season 3 of the Zenspath Podcast with me returning as host along with Brent, Josh, AJ, and others as we go for more commenting and speculation mixed in with new contests and give aways.

So sit tight as we get ready for this new year and move on and grow the site. But remember to comment on any of our articles and shows, email us at Zenspath.com@gmail.com, find us on Twitter @Zenspath, or find any of us via our different online names to let us know what you think! We may even have some game download codes waiting for you. ;-)

We took a break for a bit because just about everything you could think of happened to slow or outright stop us from recording...but we didn't give up!  Jeremy and Josh got together to talk about some Forza Motorsports 4, Skyrim, Sonic Generations (OMG it's actually GOOD), the death of the Lego Universe, and much more.  (Like Jeremy can't shoot a rabbit.)

We also talk about the decision to make the game giveaway for "Child of Eden" an ongoing event because while we GREATLY appreciate the 2 posts we got for the last show...we need to see some more!  Tell your friends, your family, your enemies, YOUR PETS! We need to get the word out to people about the show because we do this for YOU so we need to know what you want and like about the show.  So to sweeten the deal we are now including a copy of "Fruit Ninja Kinect" along with a sealed copy of "Child of Eden".  I know this contest is 360 focused, and I promise to change it up as time goes on, but you could win it for a friend, trade it in once you get it, use it as a coaster....it's up to you! (please be nicer than the coaster...)

So give the episode a quick download below or keep an eye out for it on iTunes and Zune Marketplace as we are working to get added to those locations for your ease of access.

A brand new Humble Indie Bundle deal has arisen yet again this time dubbed "The Humble VOXATRON Debut." This bundle currently includes the games:

• Voxatron - A very unique game which uses Voxels (which are basically 3D pixels) to create a stylized look with top down camera focus and platforming elements. This game is currently in early stages of development, but they will give you free updates all the up to it's final version and beyond!


• Blocks That Matter - 2D sidescroller that is part puzzle, part block building similar to Minecraft.


• The Binding of Isaac - Classic Zelda type sidescrolling gameplay from the guys that gave you Super Meat Boy.

Check after the break for more info and videos!

Now first off, you will hear about the new Bloody Roar game we talk about in the show...and yes we have already found out that like many other sites, we were the victim of a joke as the game is not really in development.

During the show we talk about how we feel about Gears of War 3 (SPOILER FREE!(mostly)), the new updates and reveals for Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Minecraft Pocket Edition delays and Josh's first time seeing Minecraft...where I promply fall directly into lava and die.

Also remember to sign up and comment on the show to be elegible to win a free copy of "Child of Eden" for the Xbox360 which can be played with either a controller or the Kinect and the contest is limited to the United States please (sorry guys!).

The first 10 games announced were Super Mario Bros. (NES), Donkey Kong Jr. (NES), Balloon Fight (NES), Ice Climber (NES), The Legend of Zelda (NES), Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (GBA), Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA), Metroid Fusion (GBA), WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$ (GBA) and Mario VS. Donkey Kong (GBA).

The NES titles were to be the first release of titles starting on Sep. 1st, and today Nintendo of Japan has revealed the other 5 titles for the NES series. (EDITOR NOTE: There has been no announcment that these WILL be the other 5 for the US...I just hope they are.) 

They are Wrecking Crew (NES), Mario Open Golf (NES), Yoshi's Egg (NES), Metroid (NES), and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES).

Nothing else was said about if they will all be released on the same day, as well as nothing about the other 5 GBA titles. Nintendo had previously stated that all 20 titles would be availble to Ambassador status 3DS owners by December 31st, 2011.

I will update once I hear more, but thanks to Kotaku for posting this announcement. (HERE)

UPDATE: As of the morning of August 31st 2011, the NES Virtual Console titles mentioned above are all available to download via the eShop.  Follow these instructions to get them asap!

1. In the Nintendo eShop, go to the far left and select "Settings / Other"
2. Scroll down and select "Your Downloads"
3. Scroll down to find each individual title.  Any you have not downloaded still have "Redownload" next to them.  Note: Depending on the amount of games you downloaded in the past, you may have to skip to the next page in the list to get them.
4. Download the game then repeat for each title.  Don't forget to also grab the "Ambassador Certificate".
5. Enjoy some old school NES GOODNESS!
