With a new PSN indie innovator fluttering in the wild, we spend today’s show discussing The Unfinished Swan, how it compares to Journey, and games with “mystique.” I also geek out on XCOM: Enemy Unknown (seriously, it’s good), Nick talks about his early experiences with Dishonored, and look forward to next week’s release of Assassin’s Creed III (with the PS3-exclusive Benedict Arnold four-mission arc) and Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation for PS Vita.

We also ladle out steaming spoonfuls of next week’s PSN releases, share a bevy of Listener Queries™ and Player Tips, pluck a sparkling new PSN Gem from the raw earth, and serve up another one of Nick’s confounding Mystery Themes. Who are you to resist?
