Weekly Games Chat

In this week's episode - the boys take on a game that a mere day ago - Shaun didn't even know what the F*#k it was. As it turns out, it's quite the little point and click title. Jon was the main person with knowledge, as he put the most time in stabbing and death trapping people down to the chamber of meat grindness. Wait, what??? Did you just read that right?? Yes. Set in a very overcooked/cookin...

In this week's episode - well, we noted it was the shortest episode in some time. That's right, we clocked in right around one and a half hours. Partly due to the game -but not in a bad way. Chris really liked it and admitted to the nostalgia of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge...the good and the bad parts of said nostalgia.  Was there sufficient tubular-ness, cowabunga's - galore, pizza??? I'm prett...

This week it's all about tactical shooting and espionage and what not. In the game Sniper Elite 5 - you are dubbed "the shadow". However, during this weeks recording we learned Jon is more like the EFFING SUNSHINE when he plays. This is the 5th installment of the main Sniper Elite series per the title, coming directly after Sniper Elite 4 but it's still around the time frame of the event in Sniper...

Topic - This week - the boys opened up a lengthy discussion on the event that was Xbox & Bethesda's 2022 Showcase. There some really good things and there maybe was some things we collectively didn't care about per se. What we did get, was our first extensive look into the new Bethesda IP - Starfield.  Super cool to finally see it...like see it. Now, we may not get this game until the tai...

This week we explored the even that was Sony's State of Play that streamed on 5/31/22. We pretty much agreed it was a good event, not historic OR bad...but good. Jon's highlight was Resident Evil 4 being remade with a release date!  For Shaun, he was happy for all the confirmed PSVR 2 games - but wanted a release date/pricing....something! For Chris, his highlight the Final Fantasy 16 trailer...

This week we learned about how scary ghosts in Japan are ANNNNNND how much fun Jon had/is having playing Ghostwire: Tokyo. Currently a PS5/PC exclusive - we learned about how scary of a vibe this game gives...maybe eerie is better. Either way...it's right up Jon's wheelhouse.  A great point brought up by Chris, this COULD BE Bethesda's last new  game on a PlayStation platform for sometim...

This week it's a well oiled 2-Man podcast, we've fired Jon. Kidding, he's on a business trip - boooo! No worries, Chris and Shaun got you, fam! We discussed the current cycle of delays....whats been impacted, why? Is there and end in sight?  Good news and bad news on that. First - yes...there are SOME games with confirmed release dates. So unless WWIII breaks out (remember when we could say t...

This week is all about a Samurai game that Chris and Shaun played via Xbox's Game Pass - and that game  is Trek to Yomi. A 2D side scroller type  game that is visually stunning and takes you into the world of the main character Hiroki.  Set in the Edo Period -  it literally feels like you are playing a movie at times - but that play thing is somewhat clunky if we're being hones...

This week the boys watched and discussed a new show on Paramount +... and the reason they did so is because of the one and only Master Chief. Does it live up to our expectations? Do we like the music? The story? Despite it's praises, there is a grunt or two we have. As a matter of fact, there is something apparently we all kind of DON'T like about it. #helmet An additional apparently - I also &nbs...

Episode 354 - Lego Game time!!! The Skywalker Sage to be exact! John and Shaun dive into THE saga. Skywalker. It had been a while insert singing since John or Shaun had been here to this familiar place of Lego-ness. We did NOT have a bad feeling about this. While not being the best game ever - it is safe to say this is THE best Lego Star Wars game of all time. If you are a fan of Star Wars - you n...

Episode 353 - It's Moss 2 week - which means Shaun's excited! Chris and Jon - wellll...#jokes.  Shaun contemplates whether this will be the final PSVR game he reviews (there will be Meta Quest and PSVR 2 games), so don't worry all you VR fans! The original Moss was Shaun's first VR game, ever. It was the sole reason of wanting to own a VR.  Moss: Book II - may be the best game he's ever...

Episode 352!! Another week, but a rarity occurs! All 3 of us played a new Kirby game on the Nintendo Switch -  Kirby and the Forgotten Land! A brand new adventure in the long line of Kirby games, we all think this may be the cream of the crop and a lot to suck in... all while having a blast. That's right, no "Mouthful Mode" jokes here. Speaking of Mouthful mode - I mean...he can suck up a car...

Episode 351! Another Tuesday and another fantastic game! This week it's Tiny Tina's Wonderland. A refreshing, but not necessarily groundbreaking game originated from the world of Borderlands. All in all, spending about 2 days or "72 hours" into it - Chris discussed the many reasons he enjoyed this game, and a few reason maybe he didn't. Shout out to the listeners for a fantastic EMAILS! section th...

Episode 350!!! Yoooo pop the champagne! Wooo Hooo! This week we cover a precious indie game - Tunic! We first saw this game we think - around 2017. At that point we were excited about a possible "Zelda" game with a fox. Little did we know that it would be years later before we'd get a full game. And yes, there are Zelda vibes...but also some Souls as well. The game is fun, challenging and has a wi...

Episode 349! Whew - that's close to #350 - hard to believe. Thanks for all the love you show us! This week - Jon tackles another strategy game. This time Triangle Strategy on his Nintendo Switch - OLED of course. Its weird but awesome to know Jon has now played 3 or 4 strategy games - and mainly due to this fine program. We once again send thoughts and prayers to the people of Ukraine and for a re...

Episode 348! Hello! Good to see you again - thanks for downloading! This week the boys discuss a very successful New (ish) MMORPG - titled Lost Ark. You might be thinking - this game has been out for a while. You're not wrong. Originally releasing in 2019 - the game recently came to the states and released this year. When you get a chance to play and subsequently cover a game like this - you gotta...

Episode 347! This is the one. It's quite possible this episode, right now in March, is the one where we can look back and saw wow....we were there. There when Chris got to talk about Elden Ring and it was already his GOTY. It was the one where Shaun enjoyed a From Software game and was still playing it. It was the successor to Jon beating Sekiro. We streamed live like we always do for the show on...

Episode 346! Ahhhh...a new month - it's March! We made it to March of 2022 ladies and gentleman - how cool is that?! We have a lot to look forward to - from games to movies...all the things. This week we discuss Guerilla Game's latest entry - Horizon Forbidden West. Good news for the show - Shaun did not wait years to finally play it. Bad news for the show, the game came out one week before anothe...

Episode 345! Welcome to this week's show! A special show indeed! Recorded on 2/22/22 - a "two's" day! Chris returned to being the man behind the glass as a GHOST producer this week. It's fine, he's fine. In addition - Shaun and Jon welcomed in a guest - none other than our good friend Andy - aka AcidSugar! If you are involved in this show - you know this man! The game this week - Dying Light 2! Th...

Episode 344! Happy Day after Valentine's Day - we hope you had a pleasant day regardless of all the jazz that surrounds it. We are now in a world where the Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl Champs and Chris knows Kung-Fu. Well, that part about Chris, it's because he played Sifu. And apparently it's hard. Also, PRO TIP, you think aggression is the way to go, but listen...wax on, wax off. You're welco...

Episode 343! Nobody can be a somebody as proven in the indie game Nobody Saves the World. That's right, you are the Nobody. But YOU got this...tell them to hold your beer. Well, in the game it's more like hold my chocolate bar or turkey leg. A dungeon crawler with Zelda vibes, Shaun and Chris both like what this game from DrinkBox Studios is bringing this time round. Thank you all for your support...

Episode 342! Jon is BACK - and better than ever...he's BACK! I'm pretty sure he appreciates all the thoughts and prayers (T&P). How do we reward him? Well we make him (by himself) do the topic. And the game (Chorus) is a space shooter with Star Wars vibes (think ROTJ Space Battle) per Jon. Thanks for listening - next time come check us out on Twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. While you're there - smash t...

Episode 341! Shaun and Chris report for duty again - Jon is still not feeling the best. Thanks for the Thoughts and Prayers! This week we dive into a little more detail about the Microsoft addition of Activision-Blizzard to the Xbox Games Community. As it's now been just over a week from that announcement, we have a better understanding (we think) of the deal, but at the same time we know nothing,...

Episode 340! The year is 2022, and the show is milking this "Most Anticipated" thing to the max! This week Chris and Shaun talk about their most anticipated "AAA" games. Think Elden Ring hype. Shaun and Chris realized they had the SAME games (first time ever) on their lists, just in different orders and stuff. Jon...well he is like, sick. I mean his name is "Sick Boy" - sooooo. But for reals, Thou...

Episode 339! What's up?! Thank you for listening and Game ON! In this episode - Jon is off doing "real work" things, so Chris and Jon are running duos for the evening. In this episode we wanted to give you our top 3 games upcoming in 2022 - but NOT the big titles. Think more so, games maybe just us (or you) are excited about. Jon via technology - left us his 3 and has 2 Tactics style games. That's...
