To get ready for No More Heroes 3 Brad takes some time to check out Travis Strikes Again to see if it's really as bad as it's scores look.

We both had some time between the big releases this fall and decided to check out Huntdown. This 2-D side scroller has a great 80s feel and some of the best gameplay we've seen in a while.

We jump back into the over the top world of Travis Touchdown to see if No More Heroes 3 to see how the legendary assassin fairs against a group of evil aliens and a bunch of technical issues!  

After 20 long years Doug is finally able to go back and check in on the Psychonauts. We talk through the progress the game and series has made from it's last main instalment. 

Brad finishes up his return to Mass Effect, by finishing Mass Effect 3. Does some years after the ending controversy bring new perspective to it or is it still clearly the weakest link in the trilogy? 

Doug really enjoys Nier and decided to try out the free mobile game Nier Reincarnation. We talk through how far he made it in before the realization of Gacha game kicked in. 

Doug said lets do an episode on Evangelion. I said I don't know anything about that. Doug said I don't care I'm going to talk about Evangelion and started recording... So here is our (Doug's) thoughts on Evangelion 3.0 + 1.01, along with the rest of the series.

Axiom Verge 2 had a surprise release at last weeks Nintendo Indie World. Brad instantly downloaded it and ran through the fantastic new metroidvania. The game moves far and above the first Axiom Verge!

We check out the newest game from the creators of Danganronpa & Zero Escape, World's End Club. Does this game live up to the some of the greats of the visual novel genre? 

Doug finally checked out Blasphemous the 2D Dark Souls style Castlevania game on Switch to see if it lives up to those to classics. 

Brad checks out the latest addition to Xbox Gamepass with Last Stop to try if some great sci-fi stories are able to over come some fairly simplistic gameplay. 

After a long fight, Brad finally breaks down and tries out Life Is Strange 2. What does this tell us about what Life Is Strange is as a franchise, and what could it be suggesting for Life Is Strange True Colors.

It's finally time! After years of Mass Effect 2 sitting in his top 10 games ever list Brad finally revisits it through the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Does Mass Effect 2 hold up as one of the best games ever? Or was it just a product of it's time? 

Despite loving all things JRPG, Brad has never given the Shin Megami Tensei games a fair chance until now. He runs through Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne with the new "updated" version on the Nintendo Switch, to ultimately decide how intersted he should be in SMT V when it comes out later this year. 

We both jumped into the PS5's newest exclusive and the next Ratchet & Clank game, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The game was talked about as being a game that really show's off the PS5's ability, we look to see how it separates itself from the other amazing games so far this year. 

It's over? A weird (but normal for us) E3 has come and gone. We talk through the newest updates and announcements from all the games at E3 this past week!   TimeStamps:  04:09 A Plague Tale Requiem   05:48 Elden Ring 08:25 Somerville 10:31 Riders Republic 13:49 Halo Infinite   17:44 Replaced 19:39 Guardians Of The Galaxy Game 25:24 Stanger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins 30:...

Doug checks out the first expansion to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake story with the new INTERmission DLC. How does Yuffie fit in with this new version of the heroes of Avalanche? And should Doug have played Dirge of Cerberus?

After a few fantastic trailers over the last few years we were really excited to finally check out Biomutant. Does it live up to the very cool premise or become just another open world post-apocalyptical game?   Game code provided by THQ Nordic

Out of curiosity Doug gave Devotion a chance. Most of us know this horror game from some of the controversy surrounding it, but Doug ended up finding in his view one of the best horror games ever.

After almost a decade Brad jumps back into one of his favorite series of all time with Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Up first we revisit the original Mass Effect and see how well the original kicks off the series. 

We jump right into all the biggest revelations in the 8th main instalment of the Resident Evil series. We go through everything in Resident Evil Village as well as how it connects to the RE series as a whole and where Resident Evil is headed!

Doug goes back in time to the days of the original PlayStation to look for some new takes on what classic style horror games can be.

Doug jumps into the first PS5 exclusive in what feels like forever with Returnal. This game has a growing reputation for being incredibly difficult, how does he handle it? 

With Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart coming in just over a month, we replay and look back on the Ratchet & Clank series so far and where the two could be heading in their next adventure! 

We spent our 30 minutes running through the village in Resident Evil 8 Village during the 8 hours in the village demo. We try to decide if this will live up to Resident Evil 7 and how the setting will ultimately effect the final game.
