This week was Gamescom, and we talk about some of the big announcements from the show. Were we satisfied with what we heard, or were we hoping for a little more? And in one of several infamous OLR tangents, we talk about the launch of a recent game that appears to be tanking, at least on PC. Is there something wrong with the way games are being promoted and pushed? We discuss all this and much more in a week of video game news on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio

Gamescom is this upcoming week and good news, it's confirmed we are going to see some NEW GAMES. Okay, that probably should have been obvious especially in a year when E3 is officially a relic of the past, but it will be interesting to see how Gamescom shakes up the usual summer game announcement calendar. Also in the news, Steam (whose owner Valve is testing one of the worst kept secrets in gaming right now) announced some policy updates that could change the way reviews and game descriptions work. Does anyone really read the comments anyway? All this and much more make up another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We actually start off discussing the Olympics - primary the Breaking competition - and why I loved it and thought it was phenomenal, and why I am sad that it's not returning and all anybody saw was the Australian.
