On this week’s episode of Video Game Realness, the boys have a lengthy discussion about Valve’s announcements from the past week — how will the entry of the Steam Box have an affect on the console market and how might it disrupt the market as we know it?

We also discuss the torture scene from GTA 5 and how we felt about it and how these kinds of graphic scenes may trend in the future. All that and our gameplay impressions of Rayman Legends and Wonderful 101 on this week’s Video Game Realness podcast.
