We have a new website! FREELANCERSPODCAST.com!
There's a reason this week's TFL BONUS! is feeding into your iTunes and Zune directories so early in the morning. That reason is Alan Wake.
Following a lengthy discussion on the future of Sam Fisher and Xav and Kyle's experience with Splinter Cell: Conviction co-op, Xav dishes dirt on Remedy Entertainment'slatest title . (Read his review on GamePro.com and in next month's GamePro Magazine.) For those who don't like surprises, here's a hint: Xav was a huge fan.

It's the first (but perhaps not last) "Throwback Edition" of TFL BONUS! In this special installment Xav and Kyle jump into their Way-back Machine to bring you an episode recorded two weeks ago. Sadly, due to some busy schedules the editing of this episode was lost in the shuffle, but the discussion of the impending Halo: Reach beta and Deadly Premonition was entertaining enough to warrant this episode's late release.
