It's not that long since we last (and first) saw Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

Over the last couple of weeks, Bethesda Softworks has shown the world's gaming media what it thinks is the strongest line-up in its history, a line-up which announces its arrival as a publishing force to be reckoned with: Rage, the comeback game from new stable-mates id Software; a very different vision of the future of the FPS, Splash Damage's Brink; modern-day dungeon-crawling in inXile's Hunted; and of course, Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to 2008's smash hit Fallout 3.

Welcome back to the Eurogamer.net Podcast, this week brought to you at the slightly earlier time of [whenever this is] because a big-name publisher has stolen our Tuesday 3pm publication slot for its Gamers Day press embargo, and we don't want boring triple-A games busting the podcast off the homepage top slot.
