CORE 413: Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn Called
Lots to discuss and none of it has to do with girls faces. Time to highlight BAFTA Awards Winners, the Fallout TV show's critical acclaim, and Microsoft/Blizzard's new deal with Netease, despite previous breakdowns. We hit on the absence of Dead Space 2 Remake and the reasons why, the pricey Ubisoft SW game, and Microsoft/Xbox's progress on their next console. Seems like that thing is full steam ahead.

Customer Reviews
Best gaming podcast out there
To me it’s like Top Gear for gaming - I always said the the top gear hosts could talk about washing the dishes and I would still listen as they where just fun to listen to. That’s how I feel about the Core team keep it up guys you are the best.
Dont play, but love to listen
Only ever dipped my toe into HotS so to speak, but still love to listen to you guys. Every episode makes me laugh, that in and of itself is enough. That aside, there's always good content and discussion about the game. But lets face it, we all just want more 'Dear Martha'
"Dear Martha..."
I'm writing to tell you that "CORE" is one of the best things the Nexus has to offer! The three hosts bring perfect balance to the podcast and between them are knowledgable, witty and just offer an all round easy to digest podcast! No matter how deep you yourself delve into Heroes - the CORE crew will have you covered. There's always something to learn and laughs to be had! So glad the guys continue to deliver, week after week!
