Weekly Games Chat

Episode 350!!! Yoooo pop the champagne! Wooo Hooo! This week we cover a precious indie game - Tunic! We first saw this game we think - around 2017. At that point we were excited about a possible "Zelda" game with a fox. Little did we know that it would be years later before we'd get a full game. And yes, there are Zelda vibes...but also some Souls as well. The game is fun, challenging and has a wi...

Episode 349! Whew - that's close to #350 - hard to believe. Thanks for all the love you show us! This week - Jon tackles another strategy game. This time Triangle Strategy on his Nintendo Switch - OLED of course. Its weird but awesome to know Jon has now played 3 or 4 strategy games - and mainly due to this fine program. We once again send thoughts and prayers to the people of Ukraine and for a re...

Episode 348! Hello! Good to see you again - thanks for downloading! This week the boys discuss a very successful New (ish) MMORPG - titled Lost Ark. You might be thinking - this game has been out for a while. You're not wrong. Originally releasing in 2019 - the game recently came to the states and released this year. When you get a chance to play and subsequently cover a game like this - you gotta...

Episode 347! This is the one. It's quite possible this episode, right now in March, is the one where we can look back and saw wow....we were there. There when Chris got to talk about Elden Ring and it was already his GOTY. It was the one where Shaun enjoyed a From Software game and was still playing it. It was the successor to Jon beating Sekiro. We streamed live like we always do for the show on...

Episode 346! Ahhhh...a new month - it's March! We made it to March of 2022 ladies and gentleman - how cool is that?! We have a lot to look forward to - from games to movies...all the things. This week we discuss Guerilla Game's latest entry - Horizon Forbidden West. Good news for the show - Shaun did not wait years to finally play it. Bad news for the show, the game came out one week before anothe...

Episode 345! Welcome to this week's show! A special show indeed! Recorded on 2/22/22 - a "two's" day! Chris returned to being the man behind the glass as a GHOST producer this week. It's fine, he's fine. In addition - Shaun and Jon welcomed in a guest - none other than our good friend Andy - aka AcidSugar! If you are involved in this show - you know this man! The game this week - Dying Light 2! Th...

Episode 344! Happy Day after Valentine's Day - we hope you had a pleasant day regardless of all the jazz that surrounds it. We are now in a world where the Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl Champs and Chris knows Kung-Fu. Well, that part about Chris, it's because he played Sifu. And apparently it's hard. Also, PRO TIP, you think aggression is the way to go, but listen...wax on, wax off. You're welco...

Episode 343! Nobody can be a somebody as proven in the indie game Nobody Saves the World. That's right, you are the Nobody. But YOU got this...tell them to hold your beer. Well, in the game it's more like hold my chocolate bar or turkey leg. A dungeon crawler with Zelda vibes, Shaun and Chris both like what this game from DrinkBox Studios is bringing this time round. Thank you all for your support...

Episode 342! Jon is BACK - and better than ever...he's BACK! I'm pretty sure he appreciates all the thoughts and prayers (T&P). How do we reward him? Well we make him (by himself) do the topic. And the game (Chorus) is a space shooter with Star Wars vibes (think ROTJ Space Battle) per Jon. Thanks for listening - next time come check us out on Twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. While you're there - smash t...

Episode 341! Shaun and Chris report for duty again - Jon is still not feeling the best. Thanks for the Thoughts and Prayers! This week we dive into a little more detail about the Microsoft addition of Activision-Blizzard to the Xbox Games Community. As it's now been just over a week from that announcement, we have a better understanding (we think) of the deal, but at the same time we know nothing,...

Episode 340! The year is 2022, and the show is milking this "Most Anticipated" thing to the max! This week Chris and Shaun talk about their most anticipated "AAA" games. Think Elden Ring hype. Shaun and Chris realized they had the SAME games (first time ever) on their lists, just in different orders and stuff. Jon...well he is like, sick. I mean his name is "Sick Boy" - sooooo. But for reals, Thou...

Episode 339! What's up?! Thank you for listening and Game ON! In this episode - Jon is off doing "real work" things, so Chris and Jon are running duos for the evening. In this episode we wanted to give you our top 3 games upcoming in 2022 - but NOT the big titles. Think more so, games maybe just us (or you) are excited about. Jon via technology - left us his 3 and has 2 Tactics style games. That's...

Episode 338! Happy New Year and Welcome to 2022! As tradition goes - we start the new year off with our top games from the previous year, 2021. Looking back it was a decent year for gaming as we try to get back to our new normal of this pandemic with that - we hope you stayed safe and are ready to bring in the good stuff we expect for 2022. We lost two legends before recording this episode - John...

Sit right back and Chris will tell you a tale full of the wonderful video game music of 2021. Track List Halo Infinite - Reverie Halo Infinite = Main Theme Deathloop - Ode to Somewhere by City Lights Dealtarune - A Cyber's World Mass Effect 2 - Suicide Mission Death's Door - The Oldwatch Tower Death's Door - The Last Lord Nier Replicant - Kaine The Forgotten City - Let Us Live, Since We Must Die M...

Episode 336! Halo, Halo, Halo - the campaign - it's here and Chris and Shaun are basically identical clones of the Master Chief. Just sayin'.....Against all odds, we will get it done...if we only have one bullet - it's enough. The Video Game Awards 2021 were a thing too and had the potential to be a topic on it's own - but... Halo. If you own an Xbox that can play it...why are you reading this sum...

Episode 335! Ahh the most wonderful time of the year! The Video Game Awards air on Thursday December 9, 2021 so we all thought now is the right time to predict who we think will win! With around 30 categories, the boys decided to narrow their discussion to 10 categories. Who do we think will take home the big awards?!?! We may live stream and have a watch party - for that and to hang during record...

Episode 334! After their time off for the holiday - the boys are back to discuss Halo Infinite's recently released Multiplayer mode. There was talk of pistols, greatness and even a skewer. Yes, a skewer. Our chat on twitch (twitch.tv/weeklgameschat) was part of the conversation as well reminding Chris he needed to get good/better and bounce grenades off the walls and maybe some of them rockets too...

Episode 333! Welcome to another episode of Weekly Games Chat! We appreciate you, and Game On! Topic this week - a rare TRIFECTA - all 10's from us yep, Chris, Jon AND Shaun. The game: Forza Horizon 5. Shaun and Jon give a caveat - in this case - a 10 doesn't guarantee G.O.T.Y status just yet - but definite respect must be given. This game is revered by old and new fans alike, and is a perfect time...

Episode 332! Take on me...or Take on we...get it... as in we finally discuss Marvel's Guardian's of the Galaxy. Well Chris and Jon did - though they both interestingly say in the end it's a "Shaun" game - who by the way feels some tainted love there about that. And listen, everybody wants to rule the world - but who will guard the galaxy?! If it's YOU listener, wake me up before you go-go, and rem...

Episode 331! What's up! Happy Podcast Day! Today we are in a whole new world...get it?! No? Ok. This week Shaun discusses how day one went at launch, his experience so far and what's going on in Amazon's brand new MMORPG - New World. Twitch streamer servers, patches (we all like a good patch, right Jon?!?!), a gold conspiracy (in game of course and much more! During NEWS, a rare live announcement...

Episode 330! Halloween Week! This week Chris (mostly) delivers his take on the recent Far Cry game...Jon played it a little - Far Cry 6. While Chris is a fan so-to-speak on the "Far Cry" Formula...he may be over it...but even tho it's good?!?! Chris gives a Richard, Jon does not...just sayin. And we reveal later in NEWS! that the new Halo game may very well be a lot like this "Far Cry" formula! Li...

Episode 329! We are back from Fall Break 2021 and it's good to be back. Jon is here to talk about perhaps his most beloved and favorite series, Metroid and it's newest entry, Metroid Dread. Apparently, Jon was reminded on how Metroid asked to "hold this beer" while they showed everyone exactly who they are and what they do, at least in the 'Metroidvania" space. Live on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat ev...

Episode 328! Boys and girls - welcome to another week of Weekly Games Chat! Also welcome to October! Thanks for listening! #GametheeffOn....This week, our topic seemingly was made for Jon. The game, F.I.S.T - think steampunk-ish vibes, Metroid Vania levels, with a Rabbit. Oh, and that Rabbit has a massive robotic fist doing work! Jon's review of the game landed high on his games played so far this...

Episode 327! Live, die, plan, execute, repeat. Deathloop is here ladies and gentleman! Chris and Jon dive in and as the fates have it, both finished the game. Jon admitted he beat it "within a day" - while Chris took a little longer. It was fun for Shaun as he sat back and heard the reviews and eventually some #richards. Do we possibly have a G.O.T.Y on our hands for one of those two?! News was pa...

Episode 326! GAME ON! What a treat we have for you this week for the topic - a treat in fact available to you on PC AND Xbox X/S - and that treat is... The Artful Escape. Music fans, and those music fans who game and have been longing for a music infused game...well, it's arrived. Developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur - this game was on Chris' radar and we are glad for it. Remember, you can catch us l...
