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!

In this episode, Chris O'Regan chats to Mike Donatelli, product director at Carbine Studios about a vast myriad of topics from the overpowering influence of Dungeons and Dragons in video game industry through to how utterly brilliant Civilization is. Subscription based MMOs are become a rare breed and to see Carbine Studios create and successfully release on in the form of Wildstar in a world where free-to-play is king as far as the genre is concerned is an impressive feat. We also talk about Wildstar of course and how it genuinely is a game made by people who actually like playing MMO games. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode25.mp3   The Sausage Factory 25 was edited by Chris O'Regan
