Words. Games. That’s what we do on this show. Speak words and play games. Does anyone actually read this? So we talk about games this week. And Kickstarter and all the money it made last year. Hitman goes episodic. Will that be a good thing or not? EA Access comes to PC and goes free on Xbox for a week, so try it out if you don’t already subscribe. Finally, Jeff gives us a lesson in the difference between North American and Japanese UX/UI design philosophies.
