This week marks the start of our DPCU (Disney Parks Cinematic Universe) In Review series, wherein we will watch ALL of the films based on or inspired by rides in Disney Parks. Up first this week is Tower of Terror. It's not good.  Up next? Disney's DINOSAUR.

This week, we're taking a look at one of the games that helped to define the image and brand of the Sony PlayStation. Does Tomb Raider hold up? Is it worth discussing for an entire hour? Only the PS Once Upon a Time boys have the answers. 

The X-Men films, as a whole, aren't really very good. So, if nothing else, at least The New Mutants is consistent with the rest of the series.

Next on our list of PS1 classics is one of the all-time greats, Castlevania: Symphony of the night. Its visuals, sound design and story remain fantastic, but how does the gameplay hold up? 0:00 - Opening Discussion and catch-up 6:30 - Gameplay 19:50 - Graphics 29:25 - Sound Design 33:45 - Story 39:00 - Does it hold up?

We’re continuing our chat about the best years in gaming with a fresh one. 2017 was home to dozens of modern classics, including Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil VII, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We are here to talk about them all. Briefly.

This week we are taking a look at the transformative survival-horror title Resident Evil. Does it hold up? Nope.

We're having a lovely little chat this week about 2008, a contender for one of the best years in games. Scott shares his fondest memories of a year stuffed full of classics like BioShock, Call of Duty: World at War, Mario Kart Wii, and Grand Theft Auto IV.

This week on PS Once Upon a Time, we're playing the classic platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. This is a new game for both of us, and it's also the first time that a game's placing on our list had to be decided by a mediator. Is it better than Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace? Let's find out. 

This is one of my favourite episodes in a long while. We're just having a late-night, laid-back time talking about Nintendo Directs, Project Triangle Strategy, Little Nightmares 2, Breath of the Wild, and so much more. 

Sony is set to talk about 10 games on their State of Play on February 25, 2021, and we've got 10 predictions for them. 

It's time to play some PS1 games! Or PSX. Whichever you prefer. This week it's Pac-Man World: 20th Anniversary, a game which is maybe better than Super Mario 64. It certainly feels better. Super Mario 64 isn't as good as I thought it was. But Pac-Man is solid. 

This week, we're talking about Robert Eggers' debut masterpiece horror film, The Witch (or the VVITCH, whicher you like most). It's really good.

PS Once Upon a Time is now its own mini podcast! We have been enjoying this segment so much, we felt it deserved a bit more time in the spotlight. On this week's episode: When The Phantom Menace was released in 1999, along with it came the licensed video game for PC and PS1. But. Was it worth it?

"Yeah, we probably won't spend long on the PS1 game this week." Except it's Silent Hill, and it's...pretty good. We both played it for the first time, and it holds up really well. And in a celebration of the late 90s, we also watched Rush Hour, because why not?

This week on PS Once Upon a Time, we're looking at Final Fantasy IX, one of the best games full stop. We also have an extended discussion about Interstellar and why its grounded, character-driven sci-fi is so much more approachable than other entries in the genre, and most other Nolan films as well. 

This week, we say goodbye to our Indie Game of the Week segment with one final review - Bugsnax. We also debut a new segment taking its place wherein we play and chat about games from an era long past with PS ONCE Upon a Time.

We start this week with a bonus little chat about The Prestige and Interstellar and why they're the best Chris Nolan films. We also make 10 bold predictions for the world of games in 2021, and do our Games Fantasy Draft. If you want to play along with our Fantasy Draft, send your 10 picks and your predictions for their Metacritic scores to us on Twitter @mgs_podcast. 

2020 had some absolutely stellar games, so here we are, talking about our favourite...19 games of the year. 

We're back with some fresh Indie Games of the Week and an extended chat about Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mafia Definitive Edition.
