We discuss Sony’s and Microsoft’s announcements at Gamescom, Europe’s big gaming trade and consumer show, on this week’s Game|Life Podcast.

Microsoft certainly riled up some fans with the news that Rise of the Tomb Raider, pictured above, would be exclusive to the Xbox One. Apparently, this will only be for a specified period of time, so it’s highly likely that PlayStation 4 will also be graced with Lara Croft’s presence at some point. But if you want to play her latest adventure the day it comes out, you’ll need to own an Xbox One. Console wars are tough things, kids. This is the topic of our discussion on the podcast, and Peter Rubin and Bo Moore join me to chat about exclusives and other announcements.

Bo gives us more thoughts on Firefall, and I talk about my recent piece on the Night Trap Kickstarter, too. Enjoy!
