PAX East wrapped this week and Joystiq was at the show in full force. If you weren't able to make it to the expo, fear not: we have the whole Joystiq Live panel right here for you in audio form (though the quality is what you'd expect from a live panel!).

Hear stories of joy and heartache as the Joystiq crew discusses their best and worst picks from the show, stolen personal effects, exciting new site content on the way, and the new direction for this very show.

Also, if you somehow missed it, Jeff Cannata is helming the return of With a Q in video form. Can you handle this much excitement? (Watch the videos from PAX East after the break!)

The Joystiq Show is charting a new course, and this week we take a first step towards a totally revamped show.

First up is an interview with Ken Levine of Irrational Games on BioShock Infinite. Xav and Levine talk storytelling, game mechanics, Irrational's plans for BioShock on PlayStation Vita, and the relief of finally getting a release date.

In part two, Ludwig talks with Tim Schafer of Double Fine about the roller coaster ride of its goal-smashing Kickstarter campaign, and the unexpected work that comes with such a large number of backers. Schafer also plays off his alleged recent proclivity for gigantic gold watches and custom-tailored suits.

Also, don't forget, The Joystiq Show will be live at PAX East on April 7 at 3pm in the Manticore Theatre.

Richard, Alexander and Jordan are back in the first segment this week, and while it is technically the "news segment," you might not know it with 30 minutes of Street Fighter X Tekken talk up front. After Jordan says his piece, it really is on to the news.

Classics are being resurrected with Diablo 3 finally getting a release date, and Baldur's Gate (I and II) are coming back in enhanced editions. Battlefield 3 is finally getting some more content, XBLA achievements are getting rejiggered, and Richard talks about his thoughts on Silent Hill: Downpour.

Part 2 is another interview this week as Richard and Jordan sit down with thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen to discuss Journey, his studio, and much more.

Oh, you want more video game news and opinion, straight from the Joystiq crew at GDC 2012? How about almost a full hour of that?

Xav, Ludwig and JC sit down for a lengthy discussion on pizza, Lollipop Chainsaw, The Witcher 2 for Xbox 360, the reveal of SimCity, and Mass Effect 3. If you're not at GDC, enjoy the luxury of being able to play Mass Effect 3 at a leisurely pace -- we hear it's pretty good.

Thatgamecompany's Journey has been a long time coming, but it is now on the cusp of release, and Jordan starts the show with his thoughts on this "harmoniously joyful expression of love." As usual, Alexander joins the crew for the news, and there is plenty of it; from the Assassin's Creed 3 reveal and release date for BioShock Infinite to rumors of Doom 4's demise and plans for PAX East.

In the second segment, Richard is joined by Sean Dunn, General Manager of Big Huge Games, to discuss Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the history of Big Huge Games, and how the studio's open-world RPG came together.

As noted in the official PAX East schedule, we will be in the Manticore Theatre on Saturday from 3-4 PM.

We aren't exactly sure what we're going to do yet, but we certainly plan on having a session of "Ask JC," where you can ask our managing editor to name a game you've been trying to recall for years with only the most obscure details. Panelists also include the former X3F crew and EiC Ludwig Kietzmann hosting a "With a Q?" segment.

Or, we may scrap that whole idea and come up with something new. Either way, we'll be there. Please join us.

First up in news ... it's reviews. Weird, right? Richard, Alexander and Ben start the show off with a bit on Richard's Asura's Wrath review, and why length should not necessarily factor into the judgement of a game's quality. Nintendo Direct talk starts the real news section, and the guys are sure not to miss word on the next Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect 3 reversible cover art, and the horrifying premise of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Also, game review theory, and lots of it.

The second segment is all about Alan Wake's American Nightmare in an interview with Remedy Entertainment's Oskari Hakkinen. The discussion covers the gamut from the inception of the XBLA release to what the future holds for the troubled scribe.

It's been a week chock-full of gaming news with both Assassin's Creed 3 and Darksiders 2 getting release dates, word that Rayman Origins is profitable, copies of Mass Effect 3 going to space, and more. Alexander and Dave join Richard to cover the happenings of the week, and as exciting as all of that is, this week is really about Sony's latest handheld.

The PlayStation Vita is already in the hands of those who preordered the First Edition bundle, and is just days away from being widely available on shelves. In the second segment, join Ludwig, Richard and JC as they sit down for an hour long discussion on the ins and outs of the hardware, launch lineup, and overall impressions of the PlayStation Vita.

After our special DICE episode yesterday--which you should totally go listen to right now--the regular show is back. Richard, JC and Ben discuss the week's news in the first segment, and some big things are afoot. Good news: Tim Schafer and the crew at Double Fine have crowd-sourced more than $1 million for a new adventure game. Bad news: Those looking for a way to play their PSP UMD titles on PS Vita will have to repurchase them.

In the second segment, Richard is joined by GameSpot's Kevin VanOrd and Game Informer's Philip Kollar to discuss Big Huge Games's sprawling role-playing game Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Spoiler: It's pretty good.

The annual industry-focused trade show. DICE, kicked off last night with a keynote from Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard, but he's not the only industry veteran at the conference with insight into the inner workings of game development and publishing.

In this special DICE edition of The Joystiq Show, Alexander Sliwinski talks with Eat Sleep Play's David Jaffe about the imminent launch of Twisted Metal, his current status with the company, and his plans to move into next-gen and browser game development.

The second interview features IGDA Mobile SIG's Kevin Dent, the man responsible for shining the spotlight on THQ's business practices and potentially disastrous financial predicament several weeks ago. Dent joins Alexander to delve into the details of his public statements and motivations for why he spoke out.

We promised a surprise last week, and it is here, in Canadian form -- Xav de Matos is back. Xav joins the show to discuss his new role as Feature Content Director, and touches on the kinds of new content in the pipeline. Then Alexander is full-up on bad news, but it's okay, did you hear that Ghost Trick is out on iOS?

Final Fantasy XIII-2 kicks off games this week with newly minted Kotaku reporter Jason Schreier talking about his review. Jordan is back talking about his favorite genre and why SoulCalibur V is both awesome and not so awesome, and Richard wraps up the show with how NeverDead is almost completely not awesome.

But before news, the guys hit some of the games they've been playing, including the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and the space sim throwback SOL: Exodus (did we mention it's $10?). In news, there are still a few more things to say about SOPA, Nintendo and THQ are struggling, Steam hits mobile, and a copy of Bastion goes abroad in physical form.

In the second segment, the 'Ol Joystiq Mailbag makes a return with Ludwig fulfilling his main task as Editor-in-Chief: reading emails and tweets.

Don't forget to check back in next week. We have something special planned, but it's our secret for now. Just trust us on this one.

Ah, 2012, don't you feel fresh? The Joystiq Show returns to its regularly scheduled programming, and this week it's back to a classic formula. Richard, JC, Alexander, and Ben hit the big stories of the week including the SOPA/PIPA roller coaster. A few games also get their time in the sun -- well, maybe in Amy's case "in the sun" doesn't quite work, but Puzzlejuice is pretty good!

The second part of the show features the New Kids on the Block(TM). Richard chats with Jess, Jordan, and Steven about their roles at Joystiq, and makes them justify why they are here. HR has been notified.

2012 is set to be an exciting year for games and Joystiq, so tune in for a glimpse into what's in the wings.

This is it; the final Joystiq Show of the year, and the last round of Game of the Year personal picks from the final group of Joystiq editors. Mike, Steven, Jess, and Jordan join Richard to hit on titles ranging from Mortal Kombat to Mount & Blade.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the launch of the Joystiq Show this year. We'll be back next year with new interviews, roundtables, Now Playings, Spoiled Rottens, and more.

It's the fourth round of Game of the Year personal nominees -- there's only one more of these left before the final Joystiq picks define the landscape of games for 2011. Chris and Justin are up this week, and you may not believe it ... but the name Homefront is uttered.

Check back again next week for the final round of personal picks for 2011 from the Joystiq editors.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is now available. We've been playing it for weeks, but when it comes to MMOs that just isn't enough time for a review. Even with more time, reviewing MMOs is a tricky prospect, and that's where this roundtable comes in.

It's Game of the Year personal nominees round 3: The X3F memorial edition. That's right, this week Richard assembles the old crew to talk a smattering of smaller, personal favorites from 2011. It's not all about smaller releases, though -- Alexander and Dave also bring some love for the year's bigger titles.

It's all about Gears of War 3 and more personal Game of the Year nominees this week. Arthur has been playing Gears of War 3 Raam's Shadow, and it shouldn't really come as a shock that he is enjoying his time with it.

After the quick Now Playing segment it is on to more editors' potential Game of the Year picks. Luddy presents The Witcher 2 as one of his favorites of the year, and JC has a couple more obscure selections. Guess Arthur's pick. More editors, more picks, next week.

Part 1 (1:39) - Now Playing: Gears of War 3 Raam's Shadow

This week in Now Playing, Serious Sam is back. However, Ludwig is feeling a little full on cheeseburgers, and the lack of humor isn't really helping the matter. Jurassic Park: The Game has to be better, right? RIGHT?

The second segment this week kicks off the end of the year festivities. Richard is joined by Griffin and Ben to talk about some of their Game of the Year contenders. This is not necessarily indicative of the Joystiq Game of the Year lineup-- more of just some personal favorites. Stay tuned for more picks from different members of the Joystiq crew next week.

The show ends with the first round of the new voicemails section of The Joystiq Show. If you want in on the action, drop us a line or give us a call at 1-(877)-JOYSTIQ.

It's a casual, four-day weekend sort of Joystiq Show this week. Now Playing has Richard, Justin and Griffin talking about two games with sword-centric gameplay, Infinity Blade II and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. You heard it here first: If you like Infinity Blade, you will probably like Infinity Blade II. As for Zelda, it is a rare accomplishment that a game with so much "mind-numbing" fluff can be so good.

The second, and last segment, is all about you. It's the first edition of the Mailbag on The Joystiq Show, and Chris joins Richard in answering a slew of questions. If you want in on the action, drop us a line or give us a call at 1-(877)-JOYSTIQ.

You really should take your Friday/Saturday/Sunday afternoon with a stomach full of leftovers to listen to this one. It would be un-American not to.*

*Non-Americans get a pass, but you are still obligated to listen.

We are at the very back end of the holiday releases, but there are still a few games to hit. Three games this week, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, and Saints Row: The Third, more than held their own in the reviews, but the last two are the big winners here --and the two couldn't be more different in their individual greatness.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has brought Solid Snake, some white-haired guy, and a whole slew of villains with crazy names into the modern era, and Chris, along with Ludwig and JC, take this opportunity to revisit the majesty that is the MGS series.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has already shared the limelight with other games in a previous Now Playing, but this week it gets its own segment. Chris, Ludwig and Griffin aren't pulling any punches in spoiler town so, if you haven't finished Drake's latest adventure, this might be a segment to come back to.

Part 1 (1:21) - Now Playing: Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, and Saints Row: The Third
Part 2 (43:28) - Roundtable: Metal Gear Solid series

Big games are still hitting shelves, and at least one member of this episode's Now Playing segment would argue that one of them is a hurdle to marriage - see what you've done Todd Howard? It's not all Justin pouring love on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim though, Griffin has a few things to say about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Richard has some kind words for Rayman Origins.

In Part 2 Richard chats with Jamie Dillion, Project Manager at Child's Play. If you are not familiar with this Penny Arcade-founded charity for children's hospitals, you may just be a bad person, but here's where you can turn it all around.

This week's show final segment continues the philanthropic trend with an interview with LoadingReadyRun's Graham Stark, Paul Saunders, and Kathleen De Vere about their annual masochistic charity drive, Desert Bus for Hope.

It's a game explosion this week and you better get used to it, because the season only gets crazier from here. Up first, Richard, Ludwig and Griffin share their experiences with Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and Sonic Generations. Guess which one of these games features the protagonist kissing a human woman.

Battlefield 3 takes the hot seat this week with some tough love. Arthur joins in to explain why a game with so many issues deserves the score he gave it. Alexander and Ben also get in on the multiplayer love-fest.

And Spoiled Rotten is back. Chris assembled his own team of villains to discuss the ins-and-outs of Batman: Arkham City. But beware, you're about to get punched with spoilers.

Now Playing is back with a double-dose of games this week. JC talks about the latest Professor Layton, but the real love in this episodes comes with Dungeon Defenders. The mobile game has arrived on consoles and PC, and it has more to offer than you might expect-- just listen to excitement in Alexander's voice.

Comic Con isn't just for those on the west coast. Ben and Shacknews' Andrew Yoon were on-hand at Comic Con's east coast contingent, and they saw some cool things. Maybe you would like to hear some anecdotes about Ken Levine and how bosses are being handled in Bioshock Infinite?

Part 1 (1:40) - Roundtable: Professor Layton and the Last Specter, Dungeon Defenders

Batman: Arkham City isn't quite on store shelves yet. If the wait isn't already torture enough, Richard, Chris and Griffin spend 40 minutes breaking it down for you -- and you just might be surprised by what you hear.

If Dark Souls is more your speed, or you're just a connoisseur of varied experience like Richard and Griffin, make sure to stick around for a lengthy discussion with GamePro's Kat Bailey about the unique, and sometimes torturous, experience of From Software's latest. We dare you to listen to this and not want to at least give this game a chance.

Diablo 3 doesn't launch this year, but that won't stymie the excitement surrounding the game. The beta has been available for a few weeks now, affording the lucky few who made it in a chance to get a feel for what is in-store when the long-awaited sequel finally hits.

In this week's Joystiq Show, Richard is joined by self-described Blizzard fanboy, and Joystiq Contributing Editor, Mike Schramm to discuss the Diablo 3 beta at length. Everything from the game's evolution throughout development to the somewhat controversial real money-based auction house is covered here.

It's time to say goodbye to the Tokyo Game Show. TGS 2011 proved to be the biggest and most attended yet, and while the guys spilled the details of what they saw at the show in the two previous specials, this one is all about the Japan experience. You love hearing about Japan craziness, right?

Richard, JC and Ben share a few stories about their time spent wandering the concrete jungle of Tokyo, and then it's on to an interview with Suda 51. And with that, we set our sights on TGS 2012.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution kicked-off the season of big releases a couple of weeks ago, and along with it came no shortage of controversy. GameStop pulled PC copies and ended up giving purchasers a $50 voucher after removing the included OnLive codes. An interview with Shawn Freeman provides a look at one side of that story, and some insight into GameStop's future digital plans.

The retail situation was not the only source of controversy though. While Human Revolution was widely praised for the many elements it got right, there were a few divisive ones that couldn't be overlooked. Plenty of frustrations are shared in this week's roundtable, but remember, it comes from a place of love -- mostly.

Music has been a key component of games for a long time. It can spur nostalgia and range of emotions like little else is able.

This week, Richard talks with a few of the people behind game music, from composers to proponents. Games provide a canvas for all types of music, and we cover the gamut on a journey from classical to trip-hop.

There are very few publishers that can stand toe-to-toe with Capcom's legacy. How different would the gaming landscape be without the likes of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Mega Man and so many more? But things have changed at Capcom, and not necessarily for the better.

Richard talks with former Capcom Producer Ben Judd and 8-4's Mark MacDonald about the state of Capcom in the context of modern Japanese game development. The guys over The Mega Man Network also share some of their thoughts on the recent cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3. Then it is on to the roundtable where the guys close the show with some of their own Capcom insights.

It's summer, and that means a wasteland of retail releases, but never fear, there are plenty of great smaller titles on the way. XBLA has turned the Summer drought into a veritable smorgasbord of great downloadable releases, and the indie scene is looking to bring their goods as well.

Twisted Pixel delivered Ms. Splosion Man last week, and Richard talks with Twisted Pixel's Frank Wilson about the follow-up to 2009's XBLA hit. Indie games are also getting their due with an interview about the Indie Games Summer Uprising on XBL. Supergiant Games's freshman effort and Summer of Arcade 2011 opener, Bastion, gets an audio review from Ludwig and a review roundtable featuring MTV Games's Russ Frushtick.

This week, the Joystiq Show talks localization. From the cry of gamers wanting Nintendo to bring niche Japanese games stateside, to inside information straight from the localizers themselves, we have the topic covered from all angles. Is Catherine the first game from Atlus to include underwear in a special edition? You'll have to listen to find out.

Also, stick around after the main show as Mark MacDonald from 8-4 joins a lengthy Spoiled Rotten roundtable on Shadows of the Damned.

Part 1 (2:50) - Operation Rainfall

Part 2 (15:10) - Atlus on Catherine

Part 3 (28:40) - Mark MacDonald of 8-4

Part 4 (52:30) - Spoiled Rotten: Shadows of the Damned

Let us know what you think of the show in comments. Also, we still need some sweeter than sweet art for The Joystiq Show, so you creative types should get on it!

E3 has come and gone. In the weeks since, we've heard about a few big games ad nauseam, but there were many worthwhile games that managed to slip through the cracks.

With that in mind, for this week's Joystiq Show, we've chosen to highlight a few of the smaller games from E3 2011 that we believe deserve attention.

Part 1 - BloodRayne: Betrayal

Part 2 - Rock of Ages

Part 3 - Papo & Yo
