Seeing this review hit the rack here at DBG, you may be wondering what’s going on here? Why is DBG doing a review on what is seemingly a kids game?

PAX Australia, as known as the Penny Arcade Exhibition, finally hit Down Under on Friday July 19th, 2013, in not so sunny Melbourne. Filled with exhibitors, Q&A panels, demonstrations, and anything you can think of that is gaming and anime related. For us proud nerds and gamers alike, it is almost like Christmas in July.

E3 2013 has come and gone, but it has left a storm in it’s wake thanks to fanboys warring over Sony’s decisive blow against Microsoft. Susie and Matt discuss that and much much more on this episode of the Drop Bear Gaming podcast. Oh and by the way this was recorded before Microsoft’s backflip on their console policies today so listen accordingly!
