The Makeover

So what's going on with the Boss Battle Podcast?

In order to expand our audience and reach a larger crowd of gamers, we're making a few slight changes.  We're cleaning up language, but still providing the honest opinion and recording in the same organic free-form format that we always have.

So, we have archived our old episodes and they will still be available on the iTunes store.  However, a new feed will be established so your old RSS readers and iTunes subscriptions might not update.

Episode 18 - Boss Battle's Best of 2010

Games most mentioned in this episode: Mass Effect 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Halo Reach, and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.
