IncGamers Podcast / Vidcast #107
In the week in which John Riccitiello has announced his resignation as CEO at EA, the question on everybody’s lips in the IncGamers Podcast is: how exactly do you pronounce his name? We’ve done our best to assess his reign at the head of EA; from the early days of getting Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge off the ground, to the anti-consumerist practices that now define the company.
Speaking of which – it’s SimCity! Yes, the debate and discussion that surrounds this game is rumbling ever onward. We’re in on it too.
Elsewhere, Battlefield 4 has been teased with erotic rain imagery and Saints Row IV has shown off some naked car surfing in a recent trailer. How is this pair of 4′s likely to shape up?
This week, we’ve been playing SimCity, and the superbly named Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Review.
Video and audio-only options can be found below. Apologies for any sound glitches this week; Skype was being rather unhelpful during the recording. You can find older episodes in our archive and at iTunes.

I was close! Although, as noted, that being the correct pronunciation means absolutely nothing whatsoever. Still: totally claiming it as a moral victory.
