Video Games 2 the MAX

We apologize for the one week off, but sometimes the schedules don’t match-up. However, Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison are back and have plenty to discuss on this week’s Video Games 2 the MAX. The guys discuss Bethesda’s decision to pull early review copies and only begin to hand them out 24 hours prior to the release of their games. We discuss the pros and cons of this decision, how it affects rev...

On a special Thursday edition of VG2M, Nintendo finally reveals the Nintendo Switch, which is the new name of the former codename NX. They decided to show a three minute and 37 second trailer and in it, plenty of easter eggs, information, and questions. Sean and Marc discuss everything about the reveal, the trailer, if they are excited about the console, and any questions or concerns they have abo...

Due to Sean having to make a trip to Texas for a Funeral and work getting in the way after that, the guys have had to delay the podcast until today. We are on the eve of the release of Playstation VR and there are already quite a few games that could be coming to the device in the future. Not to mention, projections for its sales until the end of 2016. Shawn Layden has also mentioned updated PSVR...

Sean and Marc discuss Palmer Lucky's underhanded tactics in funding a group that exists to smear Hilary Clinton. Iceland not being in FIFA 17. Shovel Knight joining Yooka-Layle, a game shutting down, Nathan Fillion done with Firefly and more. Marc also talks about his time God Eater 2 for PC and Sean talks about Dragon Quest VII for 3DS.

Although there’s still two days left of the 2016 Tokyo Game Show, we still have a show to do. Amidst the new Pokemon Sun and Moon announcements, a new Digimon game coming, Naruto, Misou Stars, and other things from there, surprisingly other news abounds. Many of those things are game delays from Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Last Guardian to South Park: Fractured Butt Whole and more. There have been layo...

Well, Sony had their Playstation Meeting and did announce the PS4 Pro for a nice price of $399. They also officially announced the PS4 Slim for $299. They showed some gameplay footage for known games like Mass Effect Andromeda and Horizon: Zero Dawn. However, without having a 4K TV it was also hard at times to tell what was really supposed to be impressive about it. Daniel Anderson joins Sean and...

So much to talk about on this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX. Sean and Marc played the Titanfall 2 Tech test.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare open beta announced, the passing of Gene Wilder, and much more. Marc ta...

Another week in Video Games and at least one thing remains consistent, there’s something Pokemon related to talk about.

We took an unintentional week off last week, partially because Sean fell asleep on the one day we actually had time to do the show, but at least we are back this week. A huge rumor broke this week revealing what Nintendo NX’s actually could be. We discuss the latest on the next potential Nintendo portable, but also home console as well. Is it a big deal that it won’t have backwards compatibility w...

A much better week in gaming news this time round for Sean and Marc to discuss. Microsoft and Sony will not be doing press conferences at Gamescom. Is it really about the show being close to E3?

No i’m not kidding on that last one. Not to mention, The Warriors is being remade and it’s als...
