On this week’s TMA, Mat has had a revelation on what it means to be a Bad Game. Tom’s been playing some Binding of Issac on the Vita & a little bit more of Toy Box Turbos and reflecting on nothing but the gold stars he can unlock, as well his new 3DO purchases. Yep, just a normal week of Tom & Mat…
Listen here.
My memory has never been that great...but can anyone remember the last time we, that is us the British, have had the privlidge to be graced with not one, but two fantastic Nintendo games on one release day? Answers on a postcard! (or tweet, or Facebook comment or even an email!).
Anyway, regardless it is happening this coming Friday! Super Smash Brothers, fresh from the recent news that it is now the fastest selling Wii U game (over taking Mario Kart), is out on the Wii U from this Friday. After playing a number of hours on the 3DS version I can safely say I've been really looking forward to the options-abound Wii U addition. Multiplayer madness will ensure no doubt, especially with Christmas incoming.
While some of us maybe dusting off our Wii Us, others may par-take in purchasing the other Nintendo release. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby are both out too, on the 3DS/2DS. As the names suggest they are remakes of the GBA classics Sapphire and Ruby, but with the inclusion of Mega Stones and other various mini features, including the ability to link to the Pokemon Bank allowing you to truly attempt to 'catch 'em all!'.
I really did think, for quite some time, that when the time came I'd be more excited for Smash Bros rather than Pokemon. While I cannot wait to crowd round a TV and play some HD 'Smash', I'm actually more ready for Alpha and Omega. Playing X and Y at the same time as my friends last year was really fun. The constant competition between gym battles as we all sought out new Pokemon, tweaking teams, trying out new move combos and such only added to what was a very good addition to the Pokemon series.
This got me thinking. What are you more looking forward too?
Shall we do a poll? We'll discuss the results next week!

On this week’s TMA, the boys get down to the serious issues. They talk about the benefits of video games on the player, including increased focus, more patience and amazing podcasting reflexes, before reflecting on the state of Triple As. From there it’s the usual bought and played titles, Tom’s feelings on Sonic Boom, some live eBaying and a rather startling confession of love that needs to be heard to be believed! All this & more, on this week’s TMACast!

Striking while the iron’s hot, the boys discuss the Mega CD… Yup, it’s one of those episodes! Mat’s been knee deep in Gameboy action, getting confused by the apparent love for Adventure island and learning all about German children’s characters through isometric platoformers Die Maus & Ottofant. Tom meanwhile has been playing the classic Super Mario Galaxy, Shovel Knight and even a little bit of DMG himself. He did not however, think to ask the important question – Does that game contain Mechanical Dragons? What a disappointment!

It's hard to believe its been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot into Azeroth, but tonight marks the launch of the latest World of Warcraft expansion - Warlords of Draenor! With a raised level cap of 100, new dungeons and raids, garrisons and an intact Draenor to explore it's no exaggeration that some of the Blast Process team are rather excited!
We'll let you know our thoughts on the expansion once we have managed to sink our teeth into it, and I'm sure we will have many tales to share of our adventures in Draenor!
Warlords launches at 11pm tonight - and as you can see from the image above The Dark Portal is once again a hive of activity...
...See you on the other side...
Blizzard have announced their first new IP in 17 years - Overwatch!!! From the trailer looks to be a pixar styled team based multiplayer shooter - and if the game is anything like the trailer it should be awesome!
Blizzard showed some gameplay in a number of themed arenas Egyptian, Japanese and Victorian London - the game has a cartoony style and looks to play like Team Fortress, but with some awesome features like teleportation, wall climbing and close combat, alongside more traditional elements such as crafting turrets.
Overwatch is due to have a beta in 2015! More as we hear it!!
New expansion to Hearthstone - Goblins VS Gnomes with 120 new cards! Looks to be a hilarious engineer based expansion with such deadly devices as exploding sheep and the Annoy-o-tron!
It's due to release next month!
Also of interest is the Android version of Hearthstone due out in December!
More as we hear it!
Tonight marks the start of Blizzcon 2014, and the Blastprocess crew are here to keep you updated on the news as it happens!

Feature the boys raising from the dead (or coming back from Holiday…) to talk from the great beyond about such ghoulish delights as The Castlevania Adventure, The Evil Within, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros. 3DS and many many more… We would also have talked about Cliffhanger on the Gameboy in more detail, but that would’ve truely given you nightmares!
