Shadow of the Tomb Raider's launch is imminent, and we've been playing it, so we decided to dedicate a portion of this week's episode to Eidos Montreal's latest. Our conversation focuses not only on the finer points of the game, though, but on Lara Croft herself. Does her selfishness and callousness make her an unlikable protagonist? We discuss. We also go into the copious news that's emerged over the last seven days. Rocksteady is openly hiring for a next-gen game. THQ Nordic's buying streak continues unabated, this time with the Kingdoms of Amalur IP. Henry Cavill has been cast in the upcoming Netflix Witcher series. And that's just the beginning of a heavy news week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's time! With the arrival (finally) of Spider-Man for PlayStation 4, it's time for the Rocket Punch crew to give their final verdict on the game. This week, join Cameron, Will, and special guest from the community, Stephen, as they discuss the webslinger's latest outing and decide whether it is worth picking up or passing up altogether. Plus, with THQ buying more game IPs the crew asks if the idea of the "AA" mid-tier game is returning to the industry, and whether that would be a good thing. All this, plus talks on Carbine Studios closing down, impressions from Call of Duty: Blackout, and more!

This week on the Digitally Uploaded podcast, we chat about a couple of big news moments that happened over the last week. First up, Civilization VI for the Nintendo Switch. How good is it going to be having that in portable form on the go (very, very good). Then we talk about THQ Nordic's excellent acquisiton of the Kingdoms of Amalur IP, and more broadly, how THQ Nordic has really emerged as a major publisher, especially of beloved classics of yesteryear. Then, finally, we chat about older games that we're still waiting on a HD re-release for on modern consoles. Lollipop Chainsaw, for example. Thanks as always for tuning in, and catch us on social media! Matt S: @digitallydownld Matt C: @MC_Odd Trent: @trinest

Withstand the Fury Dragon never seems able to shut up about Big Huge Games' 2012 RPG, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Herein, he'll try and explain why.Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on StitcherIntroGadflow, from the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning soundtrack (composed by Grant Kirkhope). Podcast Topic(s)The great tragedy of Big Huge Games' Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is that it all but demands a sequel, and will never have one. Although its developer, Big Huge Games, has re-opened, the Amalur IP remains the property of Rhode Island in the wake of the 38 Studios bankruptcy.
