Welcome to the Combobulater for September 19th 2009.

Please check the website for the latest show notes and more!!

I was meant to publish this at the start of the week, but here we are at the end and I've only just got this up! Apologies for the delay, but join us on this casual show where Emeny and Burnsy pick up on a thread started on the Combobulater forums.

As well as what we've been playing we discuss narrative in game, is storytelling something you can expect to do well win the confines of gaming mechanics?

We share our thoughts on this, touching on games such as Batman: Dark Asylum and Bioshock and we invite you to give your thoughts on the forums.

Cheers for tuning in.

A solo effort from Emeny this week which sees me discuss what I've been playing (WoW...umm, WoW) before moving on to our first community driven podcast.

Plucked from our up and coming forums is a discussion thread that looks at Activision and their attempt to push up the RRP on gaming. How will this affect the future of the industry, our pockets and the relevance of Indie developers?

Have a listen to my thoughts on this and head over to our forum to join in!
