Dense Pixels - Video Game News and Reviews

Terrence continues bringing the indie heat, as he convinces both Brad and Micah to make purchases during the show! EVO has revealed their online plans, Epic continues their quest for world domination, Minecraft doesn't get enough credit for their massive success, and is there any animals Micah actually likes?

What a reveal of the new Xbox Series X "gameplay", huh? Yeah...that presentation was pretty bog standard alright. We also talk about Mortal Kombat 11 straight up abusing their most loyal fans, EA being EA, and Final Fantasy VII's amazing ending and why Micah is actually super excited for Part II.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube chan...

Terrence is actually broadcasting live from the Streets of Rage, but did SoR4 stick the landing? We also discuss the Assassin's Creed Valhalla trailer, Geoff Keighley absolutely destroying what's left of E3's carcass with his Summer Games Fest, the real culprits behind the Naughty Dog hack, the trash fire that EVO is likely to be shifting to online this year, Billy Mitchell being a douche (again),...

So major plot points of The Last of Us 2 have leaked out, but to what end? Battlefront II's redemption story comes to a close, we reminisce on video game peripherals and arcade wrestling games gone by, and we give you an answer besides Final Fantasy 6 to the question of which game deserves the VII Remake treatment.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe...

This week Brad talks about the beginning of his Final Fantasy play through, possible PS5 launch shortages, what might compel us to avoid a game we're interested in, WWE releases, and much more!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel:  Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch!

Can Micah convince Brad to buy Final Fantasy VII Remake? How has politics crossed with the world of video games yet again? How much money will the Resident Evil 4 remake earn? What is PlayStation giving everyone for free this month? Is this Stadia's last stand? All this and more will be answered in this week's Dense Pixels!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon S...

It was Wrestlemania weekend, but just as this was a strange Wrestlemania due to current events, we aren't doing a full recap. That said though...you know we have to talk Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse Match because holy hell what a surprising event those turned out to be. We also answer your Wrestlemania questions. In gaming, Resident Evil 3 is the Die Hard 2 of games, Final Fantasy VII might be a...

Terrence is pretty unimpressed with Predator: Hunting Grounds, and also unimpressive is the fact that Micah is still playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, this time with 100% more Dr. Doom. Epic is truly trying to take over the world, there's one Mario game that should NEVER me remastered, GameStop associates are protecting themselves with plastic bags now, and Wrestlemania is gonna be really damn w...

That was certainly a console reveal. A very long, informative, over explained (and yet under explained) console reveal. How is backwards compatibility working on PS5 again? GameStop also had themselves a week that it's *ahem* essential they learn from. We also talk about our experiences with the COVID-19 situation, both in gaming and personal terms.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  ww...

The C-virus has rightfully lent to a slow news week. Obviously Brad and Carrie find their way into a massive baseball tangent. E3 got canceled literally hours after we recorded last week. We talk about the new Xbox controller. Good news is we answer several questions in the Post Office about how to survive after an apocalypse which seems prescient! Also wrestling is happening in an empty gym, whic...

We talk about GameStop probably more than we ever have now that the muzzle is off as we discuss Reggie Fils-Aime's surprising appointment to the GameStop board of directors and what the future may hold for a company in crisis. Micah gives his top-line thoughts on Granblue Fantasy Vs, we figure out how long the ESA has to make a decision on E3 2020, Ghost of Tsushima is coming out real soon, and 2K...

We're talking about a lot of whack stuff this episode. Coronavirus (whack!), Google Stadia (whack!), Xbox Series X (not whack), Final Fantasy VII Remake demo (maybe whack?), Trials of Osiris returning to Destiny (not whack), and Micah teaches you heathens how to properly garnish your sushi.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel: ...

Outriders was all the rage last week! Are we going to get sucked into the hype? Or is it Anthem all over again? We also talk the significance of Geoff Keighley skipping his first E3 in 2020 (and why Con-jima 2021 is definitely happening!), what Micah and Terrence thought of their time in The Division 2, Untitled Goose Game's unlikely triumph at the DICE Awards, the potential supply issues the Play...

This week we discuss the death and rebirth of Anthem and what we think will happen in the game's future, hear Brad's impressions of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, discuss some surprising industry departures from Rockstar Games and The Coalition, figure out why Mortal Kombat 11 won't be appearing at EVO 2020, and much more!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazo...

The full crew assembles to tackle all this Nintendo news, including which consoles the Switch has already outsold! We also talk Warcraft III Remastered woes, the ending to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, the most annoying game characters and FU moments in video games, and much more!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel:  Dense Pixe...

Micah is this weeks surprise entrant into the pod, as we're reviewing the 2020 Royal Rumble! Before we get to that though, we discuss the recent delaypocalypse in the game industry, the decision for Activision Blizzard to take their eSports league exclusively to YouTube, the new Smash Brothers character reveal, and the possible return of Trials of Osiris to Destiny 2.    Use our Amazon page to don...

Pokemon Sword and Shield is getting new DLC. Who'd have thunk it? Well, us. Months ago. Because obviously. Carrie is also pretty beside herself with Microsoft not delivering any Xbox Series X console exclusives out of the gate...but maybe the strategy isn't all bad? Sony is also not going to E3, Terrence delivers his top five of 2019, and much more.    Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  w...

We're back! Brad and Carrie gives you their top five games of 2019; Micah sadly is not on the show this week, but we let you know his game of the year early on in the show. We also talk about the insane amount of revenue generated by the industry in 2019, Carrie's experiences at MAGfest, our thoughts on Witcher III, and of course your questions.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.de...

This week, it's all about The Game Awards and (*sigh*) the trailers that came with it and State of Play. We also talk the most shocking news that dropped last week, Brad's Apple Arcade impressions, and possibly Micah's best ad read ever!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel:  Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch! Brad - ...

We had to talk about the Jesus game. HAD TO. And we promise you won't be disappointed with the discussion! We also talk the Vanquish remaster, the most expensive gaming-related hoodie you'll ever see, the nWo in the Hall of Fame, and so much more.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel:  Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch...

Brad and Carrie go it alone this week as Carrie delivers her long-awaited Pokemon Sword & Shield review! We also discuss the breaking Riot Games settlement news, an original copy of Mega Man selling for over $75,000, and much more!   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Subscribe to our YouTube channel:  Dense Pixels You can now follow us on Twitch!

First, we have the nominees for the 2019 Game Awards. Listen to Micah and Terrence hear the nominees for the first time, and marvel at the two games that inexplicably have the most nominations! Brad and Micah then review the 2019 WWE Survivor Series aka The Rise of NXT! It's Keith Lee's glory; we're all just basking in it.   Use our Amazon page to donate to the show:  www.densepixels.com/amazon Su...

This week we discuss our initial impressions of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and you'll never guess which of the three of us didn't particularly care for the game! Micah gives his thoughts on Pokemon Shield, Google Stadia sure is limping out of the gate, Bioware isn't giving up on Anthem yet, and please won't they just give us remastered Mass Effect already! We also end up discussing fighting gam...

Yes, we talk about the widely varying Death Stranding reviews, though none of us have played the game yet! We also discuss Blizzard and J. Allen Brack's non-apology apology at Blizzcon 2019, as well as the Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 distracti...er, announcements. Also, Call of Duty Modern Warfare is getting review-bombed by Russia, Anthem might really and truly be dead in the water, a popular Fortn...

Among the topics we discuss this week are Micah and Carrie's thoughts on their experiences so far in The Outer Worlds, Micah's knee-jerk Call of Duty Modern Warfare impressions, arguably the biggest Bethesda gaffe yet with the (failed) introduction of Fallout 1st, gamers forcing publishers to take more time developing their big releases, the Overwatch 2 "leak", WWE 2K20's embarrassing, bug-riddled...
