NBC’s Allegiance Isn’t The Americans Says Producer
At first glance, incoming NBC drama Allegiance sounds an awful lot like FX's acclaimed series The Americans. Russian spies? Check. Family drama? Check. Conflicted morals and allegiances? Check, check and check. But according to the series’ showrunner and director George Nolfi, that’s where the similarities end.
“Watch one or two episodes and I think it’s pretty clear that we’re going in a different direction, Nolfi told reporters during the 2015 TCA Winter Press Tour on Friday. “This is a family drama about people who don’t want to be spies. On one side they face the possibility of death and the other life in prison. That’s just an extremely different setup and where we take it is different as well.”

IGN Arena Episode 22: The State of Dota 2
This week's episode is an all-Dota 2 special, because we're joined by GoodGame's Aaron Chambers, who you may know better as Ayesee. The Dota 2 caster joins Mitch Dyer, Brian Albert, James Faulkner to dive deep into Dota 2's evolving meta, and what it means for players and tournaments going forward.
Additionally, expect a lot of talk about The International, Compendiums, and how both of those create a concerning attitude in professional and amateur players alike.

This week's downloads have a retro slant, whether it's the Virtual Console releases of Lufia: The Legend Returns or Street Fighter 2010 (or the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 earlier this week) or the copious amount of retro-styled games out on Wii U and 3DS. The best part of the eShop this week, however, are the sales. You can pick up Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Yoshi's New Island for cheap. You can also snag a number of awesome Wii U indie games for up to 60% off (if you bought one of the other participating games). Picking up one of those sale games might me optimal while you're waiting for the New 3DS to arrive next month.
