With the summer doldrums in full swing, this week’s episode takes a look back at some of 2012’s most memorable games, big and small. IGN PlayStation editors (and bonafide Internet celebs) Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty join us for the discussion, which touches not only on 2012’s finest, but also looks ahead to this fall’s most promising PS3 and PS Vita games. It’s a great discussion, but be sure to submit your picks in the comments too.

We also delve into next week’s North American PSN lineup, dominated by Queasy Games‘ long-awaited musical platformer Sound Shapes. That’s in addition to a new lineup of “user inquiries,” tips, another farm-fresh PSN Gem of the Week, and a confounding new Mystery Theme. Listen now or live out the remainder of your life in regret!
