Host Garnett Lee is away this week to attend the Nite to Unite charity event, but Jeff Cannata, Jeff Mattas are joined by special guest Xav de Matos from Joystiq to talk about a whole bunch of current and upcoming video game releases. Chris Roberts' Star Citizen project gets some love, as do Dishonored and Hitman: Absolution, and Cannata explains his growing excitement for the WiiU launch lineup, after having had some more hands-on time with the system. Finishing Moves wraps up the show proper, followed by another brief TailGate session.
