In one of our most prolific podcasts ever, we decompress from a weekend of indie delight after attending Gamercamp. And by we, I mean the whole LeftStickRight crew! Tim joins Ian and myself to talk about a weekend of indie game studios, discussions on game journalism and also some Kinect games that we’ve been playing.

It is a long cast, but we promise it is a good one and is filled with some information for anyone that may have missed the Gamercamp event, or perhaps were just interested in what transpired that. That and why Dance Central isn’t Ian’s favourite dance-based game for the Kinect. I know!

Games discussed include Kinect Adventures, Dance Central, Dance Masters, DYAD, The Depths To Which We Sink, Sword & Sworcery, Zombiedots, CityState, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Movie: The Game and They Bleed Pixels.
