Shane Bettenhausen! Ryan Payton! Billy Berghammer! We’ve got special guests up the wazoo here at the 8-4 Towers to celebrate 8-4 Play’s first anniversary (yay!) and to help us break down the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. Tune in for hands- (and/or eyes-) on impressions of all the big games, including the PlayStation Vita launch lineup, Binary Domain, Phantasy Star Online 2, Anarchy Reigns, Soul Calibur 5, the 3DS “Frankenstick” right stick add-on, and more. And when you’re done, be sure to head over to Shacknews.com to pick up the second half of our big discussion with Garnett Lee on this week’s Weekend Confirmed.
