Did you know that many of the most creative, influential people in gaming are named “Mark?” Neither did I… until this week. In this episode, we dive deep into God of War: Ascension‘s multiplayer and gameplay innovations with Sony Santa Monica Studio Lead Designer Mark Simon, and then get the lowdown on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2‘s surprising new direction with Treyarch‘s studio head Mark Lamia.

We’ll also talk PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, for we have beheld it, and are already formulating strategies. Then we cast Nick off with a tearful, beardy goodbye, as he’s undertaking a month-long pilgrimage to his South African homeland.

As always, we’ve got the facts you crave: new PSN releases, user questions and tips, and which PlayStation game character Rey is dating now. Do join us!
