Community extraordinaire, ChaiThai joins the fray in the first segment this week to talk about Streets of Rage 4 ; a game that has made a big splash in the past week. Nick went back and played some Assassin's Creed Syndicate DLC and we revisit some of the usual suspects including Final Fantasy 7 Remake , Animal Crossing , and XCOM Chimera Squad . In the 2nd segment though, the group reacts to the...

The group cracks open XCOM: Chimera Squad , a game that manages to be both affordable and a worthy follow-up to XCOM 2. Brad loses himself while talking about a big 2020 "gemmy" called Horizon's Gate and Nick revisits Dusk with pleasing results. In the news, Ubisoft finally unveiled Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Sony announced the new release schedule for The Last of Us 2 AND Ghost of Tsushima .

Courtesy of Nolan (what are friends for?), Brad finally got his hands on a PC VR headset so we finally get a chance to hear his impressions of Half Life: Alyx ! We dive a little deeper into the Final Fantasy 7 Remake and discuss Elijah Wood's current abuse of power in Animal Crossing: New Horizons . Patron questions are answered and our supporter spotlight shines a light on the popularity of the F...

Nick finally played The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine , Brad got weird in Distaster Report 4 , and Nolan seems like he's quite taken by Animal Crossing: New Horizons . Also, the return o...

Oh and let's not forget the countless numbe...

The world may be in turmoil right now but at least there are plenty of exciting games to keep us preoccupied.

Nolan has discovered his hatred of peaches thanks to Animal Crossing: New Horizons . Krispy gives us a detailed breakdown of what makes Call of Duty: Warzone one of the be...

With the Coronavirus taking a toll on the world at large, we have taken the precautionary steps of switching to remote recordings for the foreseeable future.  We won't let it keep us down though! We have plenty to talk about thanks to Ori and the Will of the Wisps , the recent release of Nioh 2 , the Trials of Mana demo , and the reveal of the PS5 technical specs ! It may take a few weeks to get t...

The world is living in fear thanks to the Corona Virus which makes video games seem really damn unimportant. BUT we're going to talk about them anyways! The demo for F inal Fantasy 7 Remake doesn't do a lot convince us of it's impending success but Ori and the Will of the Wisps wears it's Hollow Knight inspiration on it's sleeve and that's fine by us! Nick pleads with you to finish Telltale's The...

Platinum unveiled two more announcements and cause varying degrees of excitement. We also answer patreon questions and rattle off a bunch of quick impressions including A World of H...

While most of the news is bad this week, Platinum saves the day thanks to it's wildly successful kickstarter of The Wonde...

In the news, Valve finally did the unthinkable and announced Half Life: Alyx for Steam VR headsets; news that is both extremely exciting AND cost prohibitive.
