Podcast S2E8: Titanfall, great DLC and the impossible sell

Prepare to be advised...

Hello! There's one big story this week: we've all been playing the Titanfall beta, and it's absolutely dazzling. What with giant robots, smart pistols and the fall-out of one of gaming's most intriguing legal disputes, there's something for almost everyone here - and even if you think you don't like online shooters you might want to give Respawn the benefit of the doubt. Be warned, though: you're going to get hop-ons.

Elsewhere, our host Bertie investigates good story-based DLC with the help of editor-in-chief Tom Bramwell, staff writer Tom Phillips and myself, and then he leads us all in a round of The Impossible Sell - a sort of debating-club panel game that quickly deteriorates into a confusing mess. Fun!
