On this weeks show I cover Super Mario Maker and Forza Motorsport 6 in the new releases. In terms of news there was some update concerning Marty O’Donnels lawsuit against Bungie and some general updates regarding Fallout 4, GTA Online and Pokemon Go.
As for the game being played this week, I am playing a modified version of Halo Online which is based on Halo 3 but on PC. All you need to get started is available here on Google Docs.
This was another short week in terms of news and new game releases. The big news last week was Criterions announcement on them not making any new racing games, instead they will be focusing on new titles. As that is the case, we played one of the best modern Need For Speed titles developed by the legendary Burnout series developer.
It seems we can’t get enough Battlefield 3. This week we try out the new End Game DLC which features some cool new maps and vehicles. As for news and game releases, it’s a fairly quiet week in the world of gaming.
The main things we talk about are the rumours surrounding the new Xbox and the massive PR storm of failure caused by a creative director at Microsoft. Aside from that, there’s been a tech analysis done of the new Fox Engine that’s definitely worth checking out. Also, what was thought to be an April Fool’s joke by Ubisoft turns out to be the real deal: Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is scheduled to release on May 1st and there’s already been leaked footage of the game posted online.

Since we weren’t able to contain ourselves over the long-awaited and extremely hyped release of Diablo III, we had to post a new video featuring the game a little early. Thus, we dubbed this episode number 1.5. Incidentally, we’ll be posting new episodes of The Fraxial Show every Wednesday from now on, as it’s most convenient for both of us. Look forward to next week’s video, which will feature even more Diablo 3 fun and some more lively discussion!
