We haven't done a straight news show for quite a few weeks now so you'll have to forgive us if some of this is a bit old. We couldn't let some of this pass us by without throwing our oars in though so prepare yourself for some commentary on some cherry-picked morsels of gaming culture from the past couple of months, including Square Enix's decision to make the next Hitman game properly episodic, EA bringing their 'Access' program to the PC via Origin, Double Fine's slightly controversial crowd-funding campaign for Psychonauts 2 and yet another Xbox so-called exclusive that may well be coming to PC eventually after all. It's all about the news on this week's #NOTplaying Podcast!
