Good Enough Gaming Pod

It's never been a better time to be a tamer, trainer, enthusiast or a fan of some beloved animated series of old. This fall we were graced by two new titles from revered franchises that are synonymous with the suffix “-mon”. That’s right we will be discussing the neverending battle for Mon supremacy between Pokemon and Digimon. Specifically the new titles; Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Digimon Stor...

We wanted to end off the season on a positive note this year! We want to celebrate the greats, and not just a particular game you have heard us talk about in ad nauseum over the seasons. No, we are talking about the developers that have taken the gaming world by storm in their respective decades releasing a consistent streak of bangers that we all hold dear. Of course we will likely rabbit trail a...

Summer is coming to an end, fall is on the horizon, and that means the end of “go touch grass” season as well (especially for us Canadians). Now luckily the fall sparks the beginning of what is generally the greatest volume of game releases over the coming months. So what games are coming exactly that we are most looking forward to playing in the fall and early winter you ask? Well we are going to...

The stakes are high, the mechanics are strategic, the world is tiled,...

Believe it or not this week we are here to talk to you about performance enhancements, but not steroids or the emails that Kyle gets about well, you know… We are talking about the importance of mental health, healthy practices and exercises that can help us all to be better gamers, and productive members of society. So in order to better understand the importance and implementation of these practi...

Some games get it right the first try, some learn some lessons, take the feedback and crush it in the next rendition. These are just the type of games we are looking at today, whether it is the second, third, fourth or hell, even the fifth in a series of games. We want to talk about Sequels! We want to show some love to the follow-ups that were better than the original, you know like the second si...

Disney has continued to pump out Marvel content through movies and shows, and much like a fire sale at a local retailer, everyone has come to see what all the rage is only to see that some of the best items are selling like crazy and some of the items were not quite as they appeared in the photos. We are here today to give you our good enough scaling of where we think everything in Phase 5 sits on...

Like the title of Kyle’s sex tape, we are here for a Chuggy and Brutal episode as we get into a game that dawns an impressive soundtrack, use of weaponry, design and just elements of visceral madness. Thats right everyone we are talking about Doom: Dark Ages today! The newest installment in the storied franchise boasts some new facets on top of the classic form.

As kids many of us were told that playing games was a waste of our time, that it would rot our brains, that it would awaken something inside of us that would cause us to rebel, or that one day we might have to actually fight a dragon and not be even remotely prepared. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW MOM! Gaming has become incredibly mainstream and now has all kinds of avenues for potential jobs, competitive p...

Well folks, the resident Elden Lords are back in the thick of it and boy are we Glad-ius to be talking about the newest installment into the souls franchise; Elden Ring: Nightreign. Starkly different from its previous named title, this game has you going solo or as a trio in a face-paced, rogue-like, level and skill building frenzy that caps off with hellacious boss fights on each expedition. Ever...

Everyone who has listened to us for a long time knows that we love the indie game scene and developers (especially Jordan). But today we are graced to be interviewing a man that kind of puts us to shame. He doesn't just share the same enthusiasm, but is a glowing example of someone in support and providing information for great indie games, and actively working in the industry. Welcome to the...

There are tons of things in games that make the experience that much more visceral and surreal, but today we focus on one such aspect that our dear co-host Trevor helps us celebrate on this show, and that is Soundtracks in games! We are talking about those games that you could listen to over and over and over again to the music and never tire of it. Soundtracks that fit the game style perfectly, t...

Tomorrow marks the official release (in Canada) for the Nintendo Switch 2. So much has been discussed and brought up online already about the Switch 2, from the processing and visual capabilities as well as the pricing and games that will be available once it hits the market.

As a game developer, you want the audience and player to embrace, celebrate, empathize, relate and fall in love with your main character(s), this helps build a story, a franchise and sometimes a cult following. Some characters have taken all of us by storm, been globally received, and immortalized. Unfortunately.. Some of these characters have fallen flat and would be better off wiped from our mem...

It's time to take a dive into the developmental landscape and release structure of games you guys! There has been a rise in both releasing games as a beta, giving gamers a chance to dive into a game before it is completed, as well as games that have been delayed months or multiple times due to a multitude of factors, but coming out as a completed project. So what is better? Does it depend on t...

We all love games here, some we shed a tear when it comes to an end, some we play over and over again, some we return to after a few years, and some we retire and reminisce fondly over for a long time. Today we want to focus on some of these games that hit us so profoundly that we wish we could experience them for the first time all over again. So put on your rose colored glasses, open up a can of...
