Unknown Games Podcast

We've got a real treat for you with another bonus episode and a special guest! This episode is slower paced, clam, and dare we say, an interview on our guest's life in Japan! While we do talk a little Ghost of Tsushima toward the end, you'll want to brew yourself a pot of coffee or your favorite beverage and just chill out with us. Trust us, this is a humble episode filled with nostalgia and frien...

Come on down to the Unknown Games Podcast! We'll set ya up with a brand new car with a low interest loan. We promise it'll skyrocket your reputation enough to start earning the big bucks!

Saddle up, crank up...

This week we're talking about the dichotomy of Epic Games! Are they really trying to help the little guys, or are they just seeking more profit for their own game, Fortnite? With its removal from both app stores, the discussion about fees associated with in-app purchases are popping up left and right! Then again, why so serious? We turn up for our favorite battle royal, Apex S6! Plus, we've got a...

We focus on Japan life this week as Alex is back and getting settled into his new crib. Wait, does anyone still say "crib"?

We hope you'll find Alex's struggles informative and enjoyable! 1. Intro 2. Japan Life: Alex's...

Once again, Alex is gone and Adrian has been left to fend for himself. Along the way, he met a friend, an up and coming lawyer from Indonesia who also plays games. So Adrian asked, "Wanna be on a podcast?" Thus, the can of worms was opened. And for one episode, the podcast lost its balance and its way. So what did UGP gain in return? You'll have to listen to find out - G 1. Intro + Guest Introduct...

These week we bite the truth bullet and tell you the solid, cold facts of gaming like how Death Come True is a fun game you should experience, we really do have super powers to summon up remakes and remasters like SMT 3 Nocturne, Xbox Game Pass is a hidden gem of joy but their showcase just left us flattened, and yeah, FFVII Remake Part 2 is going to rock even if you didn't like the ending of Part...

We've got quite the show for you this week, featuring all the best things in life we found on Craigslist....wait, no that's not right...Alex explains the title of this week's podcast to Adrian, and then we have our own missed connection with some of the games we're playing and the review scores they've had.

This week, we explore the dark territory of gaming...interactive cinematic gaming. Yes, it's a genre! Yes, Sony decided to give it to us for free! No, Adrian and Alex were not forced to play it but did spend 2 hours of their lives in the world of Erica. We talk about that, plus, Alex gets all nostalgic in CrossCode! Finally, we discuss the difficulties of translating Japanese to English~ It's a sh...

How much is your time worth? What rate do you value it at? That's precisely the debate we have after 2K Games decided that NBA 2K21 will cost $69.99. Should all next-gen games follow this trend, or should it be on a case by case basis? Plus, Adrian gives an update on his progress in Last of Us 2, while Alex starts Ys for the second time! It's a wonderful show, and you'll be surprised just how fast...

It's a very much a chill episode this week, and we hope you'll enjoy it!...

The 555 deal from back in the day at Domino's was the best pizza deal around! I argue, even better than Subway's $5 foot long deal. While times progress, the number 5 is still what I consider a special and magical number. Next gen, we're getting a couple of exciting five's, with the PlayStation 5 and Unreal Engine 5...and I'm sure there's another 5 somewhere, right? Plus, we warn you on the unavoi...

Are you still you if your voice changes, not puberty, but like if a completely different person's voice takes over your body? We go meta, deep thinking, and examine what it means to be a "ghost".
