Workforce Gaming Podcast

We debate the issue of Sony shutting down the PS3, Vita, & PSP stores in the next few months. Then we look ahead to what this could possibly mean for the games that get left behind.

Doug of all people, put in the 96 hours to make his way all the way through Persona 5 Royal. Our similarly long review debates if it was worth it. 

With nothing better to play and a peaked interest after the FF7 Remake intergrade trailer, Brad breaks out the PS2 to see if Dirge of Cerberus is really that bad.

We both dive in to and probably over analyze the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and then think about what could come next for Spyro. 

Doug jumps into the 3D-Roguelike Risk of Rain 2 to see how it the leap it takes from 2D to 3D. 

We run through the newest Mario world well avoiding Bowser's Fury in the expansion to one of the best Mario games around.

We both finally jumped into Ace Combat 7 after years of waiting to find out if we are into this series or now. 

Brad loves Fantasy Football & Video Games. Doug loves Video Games. So we combined these things and are going through our third year of https://www.fantasycritic.games/ Fantasy Video Game League.   If you want to follow along all year long check out our league: https://www.fantasycritic.games/league/3a42c011-989b-40b9-904f-2210aef6ec01/2021

Brad buckled under the pressure of a cool Sci-Fi story and went through what turned out to be one of the best games of 2020, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. The (almost) visual novels packs more sci-fi storylines into a game than you ever thought possible and the result is incredible!  

2020 is over! We look back on some of our favorite games from a great year in Gaming and ultimately what we think were the best games of 2020.

We catch up on more of the PS5 launch games by taking a look a The Pathless. This game caught both of our attention from the trailers shown earlier this year, so Doug took a look to figure out exactly what's happening in this game. 

After developing a love for the Yakuza series over the past couple years I was nervous to jump into the light reboot of the series with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. However, I found a game that takes Yakuza to new places while embracing the legacy of the series and it's history. 

Doug struggled his way all the way through the one of the PS5s launch titles, the Demon Souls remake. We discuss just how difficult this game truly is and if it's the best the PS5 launch lineup has to offer. 

Marvel's Spider-Man is one of my favorite PS4 games. It's time to find out if Spider-Man Miles Morales is a good successor to it and if it shows off the power of the PS5. 

The time has come! PS5's are out! Well the rest of the world focuses in on Assassins' Creed, Demon Souls, and Spider-Man we really quickly settled into the simple nostalgic fun of Astro's Playroom to get a good feel for the PS5 and the DualSense controller. 

Doug spent some time with his family playing Minecraft, which means after many long years one of us can finally explain what Minecraft is and why it's so immensely popular. 

We are just days away from the launch of the PS5 & Xbox Series x/s! Before we get our hands on this new generation of games we look back to our favorites from the PS4 and Xbox One. 

After a full year of waiting and being terrified of what Death Stranding actually is, Brad finally broke down and gave it a shot. It turns out it is an incredible, exciting, boring, crazy, and weird story of a simple delivery man trying to save America... more or less....

We join up with the New Republic and the remainders of the Empire to check out Star Wars: Squadrons. A fairly boring Star Wars game but one that really shines on VR.

Brad absolutely loves every Supergiant Game. However, he absolutely hates roguelike games. Doug wrapped up supergiant's newest masterpiece the roguelike Hades and ultimately answers the questions will Brad like this game or not? 

It's that time again! Sony and Microsoft are both pushing into the next generation of consoles with the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. We talk through all the latest news from Microsoft buying Bethesda to the Playstation 5 showcase and Final Fantasy 16 to figure out what both companies have in-store for us in the coming years.  

After years of anticipation Marvel's The Avengers has finally released! It turns out after all this time that its.... okay. We walk through all our thoughts on the newest Marvel Video Game. 

After what feels like decades Tony Hawk Pro Skater finally gets the return it deserves with the remake Tony Hawk 1+2. We determine if this is even better than the games we remember from all those years ago. 

After 10 long years we revisit Alan Wake, Doug for the first time, as we get ready for the upcoming Control AWE Expansion. After all that time in the dark does Alan Wake still make a good impression? 

After asking for Brad's opinion on the first hour of Remnant: From the Ashes, Doug decided to ignore him and check it out himself. Turns out after the first hour or so Remnant becomes a much more interesting game.
