This week Colin, Lucas, and Neal sit down and have a nice little chat about a topic that seems to cause a bit of contention in the gaming world - review scores. Love em' or hate em', they are, in theory, the most direct and easily understandable way to convey the quality of a game to the masses. But does a simple number really sum up a game's value, or does it instead merely provide...

This week Colin, Lucas, and Neal look back at 2022 as people often tend to do at the start of a new year, and we're counting down our favorite games that we played throughout the year. Though, keep in mind, we're not necessarily restricting this to games that released in 2022. So with that in mind, we've each compiled lists of our top five games that we played last year - some new,...

In this episode, Colin, Lucas, and Neal sit down and discuss the first entry in one of the longest-running role-playing game franchises around, Final Fantasy.

Designed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy was developed as a swan song for the failing company Squ...

Today we fasten our seatbelts and fling some shells as we give our ranking to the much beloved and long-running Mario Kart series! The series recently celebrated its 30th birthday and we thought it would be a great time to weigh in and provide our thoughts on each mainline entry to the series.

If you've been gaming for a long time like us, you know that licensed games (which are games made using an intellectual property that didn't originate in gaming - like Marvel, DC, .etc) have had a pretty...rough history. In an effort to make a quick buck cashing in on the success of a hit movie or tv show, these games frequently turn out undercooked at best, and completely broken at wors...

This week Colin, Lucas, and Neal are back with another of our That One Game episodes, with the game (or games in this case) in question being the much beloved second generation entries in the Pokemon series - Pokemon Gold and Silver versions.

We've tossed in a couple surprises h...

Today on the show we'll be breaking down all of the game announcements from the last month that caught our eye. Thanks to the absence of e3 and the structure it provided, publishers and developers went wild with their own showcases all throughout the month of June. We did our best to round up most of the big showcases from Sony, Microsoft, and, of course, Nintendo, here for you today, along w...

Today on the show we'll be taking a look at what many consider to be the greatest Sonic the Hedgehog game ever made as we discuss That One Game - Sonic 3 & Knuckles!

This week we're back with another Magic the Gathering episode as Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate has officially launched over the weekend. It's a brand new set designed specifically for the Commander format that also is based in the world of Dungeons and Dragons.

So not long ago a particular leak surfaced that showed off footage of Nintendo working in-house on a Gameboy and Gameboy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Switch. Through some due diligence among tech savvy members of the community, it has since been confirmed to be legitimate, and we now know (much to Nintendo's ire, I'm sure), that Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance games are g...

This week's episode is a special one, as it marks the first in yet another of what we hope to be a long running series on the podcast, and we call it "That One Game"!
