Hello, and a big warm welcome to 2012! You can take that seat over there. Yep, next to the Wookie.

This week in the pod, I'm joined by Keith, Jon, and Peter to discuss the latest in iOS news, ranging from despairing at another new Apple rumour to wondering what Angry Birds Seasons would be like if it were to have a Twelfth Night update.

Oh, and there was a really long rant about Shenmue (following the news that Shenmue City / Town had been cancelled) that I had to cut out because I erroneously suggested it was a Sega franchise. Sorry, Peter!

Motorcycle Emptiness

New releases were fairly light on the ground this week, but we still somehow manage to make the section just as long as usual, thanks to some terrible-looking titles and a strange argument about what constitutes a motorcycle game.

Talking of Jon being weird, his game in the What We've Been Playing Fields is an airplane identification quiz. I'm not making this up.

Both Keith and I have been playing Super Crate Box (which we disagree on), and Peter managed to rock me to the very core by revealing Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered on iOS has a different ending from the original.
