Game Junk is an irregular (okay, now somewhat regular) podcast about video games by the people who make them.

Hosted by Frank, Sean and Andrew aka Huckcity, we discuss news and hot button topics from around the gaming industry and review the latest games we’ve been playing.

Together we have previously worked on such games as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Too Human, X-Men: Destiny, Guacamelee!, Skylanders: SuperChargers, Disney Magic Kingdoms, Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale, Citizens of Earth, Lost Orbit, Embers of Mirrim and A Fold Apart.
