O3C Games

Today is the start of the week, and therefore the start of another Our Three Cents ODYSSEY! Can you believe we are now sixty games deep? There's been some crossover, sure, but still, we have now collectively delivered ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY monologues about our favourite games. 'fore we raise this hallowed number to 183, listen out for: a mysterious creak on Minty's audio channel (a genuine prize...

Being served up today: a sweetly hoppy brew of video game chit chat and nonsense. For the main event, three gently sparkling jars of amber nectar as Jonathan, Chris and Minty tell tales of their 41st favourite games of all times. But of course, not before a round of aperitifs in the form of Animal Crossing waffle, as well as some thoughts on Ori and the Will of the Wisps, some classic multiplayer...

As April 2020, the longest month in recorded history, draws to a close, Our Three Cents is back to give your earholes a tickle with our sultry voices. Are we still playing Animal Crossing? Has Jonathan really turned to the dark side and started playing on, deep breath, the Xbox One? Which VR games has Chris been using to escape from the reality of L O C K D O W N? Then, hear us get excited about T...

On this week's Ournimal-Crossing Three Cents, Chris celebrates his birthday amongst friends on Jonathan's Otter Isle, Minty stuffs his pocks with eggs, and Jonathan welcomes genuine canine celebrity KK Slider! What's this show meant to be about again? Games! Is Roundguard, the Peggle / Rogue-lite hybrid any good? Is mobile puzzler The House of Da Vinci as good as it's inspiration, The Room? Do you...

We are reliably informed that it's... Monday? In the absence of any real societal markers of time and date, why not use this weekly episode of Our Three Cents as a reminder that yes, time is passing, and yes, video games still exist. There's more Animal Crossing chat, naturally, as well as opinions on Doom 64, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, some eShop bargains, and… TETRIS. Chris adds Worms A...

The boys are playing Animal Crossing, of course, but what else is floating our collective boats? Are Chris and Jonathan going to be able to keep up their Ring Fit regimes? Why has the Panzer Dragoon remake rankled the J-man? Which eShop games are worth your pocket change? Which Gameboy exclusive sequel has Chris's heart all afloat? Then, after the dust has settled on our April Fools fake out, what...

APRIL FOO- (beer cascades out of the roof in a long shot of the Simpson's house) Did you really believe that Minty would have returned to and, gasp, ENJOYED, Sticker Star, his previously professed least favourite Paper Mario entry? Did Jonathan and Chris' respective digital purchases on the eShop and App Store of Grasshopper Derby and Seagull Officer really sound plausible? Did Jonathan's Ancient...

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is finally here and we've made the corporate decision to BREAK RANK and record a bonus episode right here and right now. Animal Crossing is a series that has grown exponentially since its early release on the GameCube and then the DS, Wii, 3DS and arrives now on the Nintendo Switch in the midst of a global pandemic. Does New Horizons stand up against its franchise for...

Hey, hey, kids! Have you ever played Final Fantasy VII, Parodius: The Fantastic Journey or Luigi's Mansion 2? If so, listen in and see what we thought of the games you may have loved or loathed. And if not so, maybe we can talk you into giving them a blast? We three cents place hands firmly on our hearts and suggest that this generation defining RPG, this cutesy, parody shoot 'em up, and this.. ho...

Another episode? A whole one? Fair enough. Is Minty still playing that Tales game? Is Jonathan likely to beat the 400 hour long Witcher 3 before Animal Crossing: New Horizons releases? Can Chris contain his excitement at winning his first Tetris Invictus Maximus? Then the rankings. Ohhhh, the rankings. Three games that we felt were very good. Three games that we felt were SO very good, that we too...

As the weekend crumbles to dust, sweep away the Monday blues and listen as the boys tell meandering stories about their 48th favourite video games of ALL. TIME. TUROK 2 and its BULLETS and GUNS FIREWATCH and its WALKIE TALKIES WONDER BOY 3 and its TRANSFORMATIONS …but before we do that, perhaps you'll appreciate the long awaited return of the quiz pun? Or enjoy mulling over the thought of Ralph Fi...

Our very own menthol man details how Nintendo hits it out of the park with their 'coolest' racer F-Zero GX. Our host extroadinaire revisits the gloom of Thief's grubby dark-age world in Deadly Shadows. That hairy bloke talks about Arsenal Football Club and its weird connection to Sonic Team's online experiment Phantasy Star Online. Listen for Chris' thoughts on the Open Source Scanline Converter,...

FRATRICIDE AND SMOOCHES DAIRYLEA TRIANGLES CONVERSATIONAL BREAKDOWN What on earth do any of these things have to do with love? Join Our Three Cents as we, or at least Chris, willfully misinterprets the theme for this Valentine's Day special, before giving genuine recommendations for games to play with the special people that may be in your lives. Much love from your favourite gaming goons.

In our final numbered episode of season one you will hear:  a particularly weasely quiz question; Jonathan getting hot and heavy over a listener's question; some thoughts on our secret santa gifts; and Chris' thoughts on a classic. Then more games. Three incredible games. A veritable triumvirate of bloody good games. Jonathan talks up one of the best handheld Mario games of all time whilst simulta...

Would you, our dear listeners, consumers of our humble podcast, wish to listen to our thoughts and feelings on games of the video variety? Allow Jonathan to describe the three stages of the Souls-like, and the violent combination of Hotline Miami and MasterChef Australia. Humour Chris' attempt to intellectualise not one, not two, but THREE indie-darlings. Let Minty sell you on the joys of Volition...

What is Grand Theft Auto 3 x Metroid Zero Mission x Super Mario 64? The amount of time you should waste before listening to this episode! Three absolute franchise behemoths feature in this swish and dense episode as we trawl our three Cents’ memories of their gaming childhoods! Plus, the intrepid Pokémon trainers among them are nearing the end of their Galarian adventures, and Minty merges some dr...

See you next year! 2020 vision! Something something decade! Now we’ve got all the contrived new year bumph out the way let’s enjoy the New Year episode with some contrived, vaguely Dickensian bumph: 2019 might have been an absolute mound of turds, but it’s been another great year of gaming. Jonathan has spent most of it smacking down nightmarish monsters in Lordran, Minty’s been smacking down drag...

NINTENDO FIFTY FOURRRRRRRR THIS WEEK: Chris gets annoyed at shoddy portsmanship of a storied RPG franchise. Jonathan can't be bothered with Star Wars: Law and Order. Minty takes an extended dip in a rusty lake. Let the boys' fifty fourth favourite videogames whisk you away on an island holiday! Or to another dimension by way of a portal in a mysterious underground facility! Or on a cross country r...

This week on Our Three Cents we have another eclectic triptych of games including an Italian-plumber-based-handheld-sporting RPG, a 32-bit odyssey about a man’s obsession with hiding in a cardboard box, and an epic adventure involving a black knight in the darkness of the night whilst you try to forge some lightness into the world! Elsewhere, Chris spends his week killing time with Suicide Guy, an...

Oh boy! In a bumper episode, hear the trio chop through a massive stack of games they've played recently, as well as their usual three listed all-time favourites! Would you like to know our thoughts on The World Next Door, Metal Wolf Chaos, or Forager? How about Ni No Kuni and its sequel, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, or Bloodstained? Maybe Ring Fit Adventure, Luigi's Mansion 3, or Pokémon Sword...

On the menu this week - the further adventures of Minty questing after dragons, Jonathan grinding some stones and Chris racing a football (something like that I believe…) In the rankings, a classic Nintendo game on a classic Nintendo system, a small fragment of AI experiencing isolation and “a big warm hug of a game.” Three really quite incredible games - real absolute bangers! Also dogs. Well, mo...

Do you like videogames? Do you?! Join an uncharacteristically excitable trio in their ongoing mission to talk up the videogames which make them happiest. Can Chris keep up his commanding quiz lead? Is The Witcher 3's recent Switch port any cop? A few months in, how is Jonathan getting on with Mario Kart Tour's layered economy? How is Minty progressing in his personal Dragon Quest? Onto the ranking...

After a brief, one-week hiatus to allow Jonathan to enjoy being newly married to his lovely lady wife, the boys are back in town (copyright Phil Lynott, lyrics used by permission of Vertigo Records) to once again celebrate their love of video games. Tackling their 59th favourite video games of all time, listen intently as Jonathan gives Mario Kart 8 a big thumbs up; Minty gives a huge A-OK hand ge...

Boo! Haha just kidding it’s the fellas from Our Three Cents here! One of the benefits of paying homage to our favourite games over a period of literal years means we can show appreciation for loosely related public holidays and the like. This week, instead of our rose tinted lenses we’re looking through novelty pumpkin shaped glasses to bring you our favourite ghoulish games and monstrous memories...
