What a month for the Cartridge Club! For April we played God Hand, a controversial third person beat ‘em up sort of game. A ton of people chose to pass on God Hand this month, I can’t honestly blame them because if not for the club I too would have never played it; however, if you’re interested in hearing what the people who did play it have to say then you’ve come to the right spot!   This month...

March was a dark and scary month this year because the club was playing Alan Wake!

This month we are joined by Steven Eidher from CAPMAX Gaming, Brasel the Gamer from Retroholics and Ryan Gorman from Its Rocket Sauce. If...

Starting off Season 3 of the Cartridge Club with a bang!... Or a crash... Either way the club was in for an exciting first entry to the racing genre. Was Burnout 3 the right choice for their first racing game? Will Dean from Round2Gaming 100% the game within the first week of playing it? Or will Kevin and Ram Vox from Retro Fandango discover someone relieving themselves with their mic still on? Fi...

This game sucks. Don't even bother listening to us bitch about it's terrible level design, camera controls or mechanics. This was the worst decision the Cartridge Club has ever made. I personally blame P2. Even the amazing guests of Enzzy, Nintendo Doctor, Game Time with Kyle and Bill from STC couldn't save this stinker of a game. I am so sorry.   Sincerely,   P1

The Bros are joined by NESRomancer, Yoshi Knuckles and Darren from the Gaming Pilgrimage to discuss the only instalment ever from Squarest USA. Did they find this as hard to play as Secret of Mana or did their nostalgia hold up?

The Bros are joined by J Rock, Lo and Curtis of GFVS this month to talk about the Capcom smash hit Resident Evil 4. It is a split group of love and distaste this month which always makes for good discussion.

Do a barrel roll! That's right this month the Club tackles the N64 gem Star Fox 64. The Bros are back together and this time they're joined by 3 returning Clubbers, Super Robot Power Hour, Duke from Retro Nonsense and Nintendo Doctor! Did the game stand up to the test of time? Will P1 finally beat a Club game? Is P2 excited for next month's offering? All that and more await your ears.

Keeping the trend of great Gamecube games going, the club was playing Metroid Prime this month. Sadly with P1 off keeping the galaxy at peace, it was up to P2 to host the show on his own. Lucky for everyone listening Dean from Round2Gaming came to his aide to help co-host in P1's stead. Does everyone love the switch to first person for their Metroid franchise? Will Dean take his tower frustrations...

Never much of a fan of the first person genre, the Bros went into this month a little skeptical. However after experiencing this amazing offering from Valve their tunes have changed. The Club got it's first taste of the G-Man and Gordon Freeman in Half Life 2 this Christmas. Did the Bros end up on the naughty list by the end of it?   Guest Links: Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Buri...

For the first time P1 is away sailing for the recording of the podcast and the Bros are forced to get a fill in. Luckily Kevin of Buried on Mars fame was willing to step up to the plate and he does a fantastic job. The Club played through Startropics and a few of the guests found out what NES Hard really means.   Guest Links: Kevin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/BuriedOnMars Nintendo Doc...
