Weekly Games Chat

On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun all took part in a trip to the actual movie theatre to see the new Super Mario Bros Movie. Sadly, we did not see it all together, always a good time when we do. For this review, we all took a moment to discuss how we approached it, and our thoughts individually. Overall, the movie has done remarkably well earning $375.6 Million in it's opening weekend. It s...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show. On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun all revisited the wonderful Capcom game - Resident Evil 4: Remake - moving forward known as RE4. For Chris and Shaun, this was their first play of RE4 and for Jon - this was like a walk down memory lane, only prettier. In this series, RE4 is known as more of a "action" game with scary, intense...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show. On this episode Chris and Shaun dove in the depths of hell in the weekend that was the open beta for Blizzard's Diablo IV. Yes, the beta has tech issues. But the game is still awesome. And yes, after the closed Beta, changes and patches were made for tech issues, so one can assume after the open Beta, more changes are coming for any tec...

Hello and thank you for downloading this week's show! This week we talk about a new game from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo. Let's give it to Chris, for being the fist person on the show to play it. Shaun, well...Shaun "shaun'd" his way into playing it by basically doing a thing the friend group does which is - implying he could do a thing that Chris mentioned. Chris then called...

Hello! Thanks for downloading this week's episode! In this episode we discussed (semi spoiler free) the complete first season of the Last of Us show currently on HBO. In total, the 9 episode season really checked a ton of boxes for the good for both Chris and Shaun.  If you're a fan of this game - this show does it right. If you have never played Last of Us, and like the HBO show, does it mak...

Hello! Thanks for downloading the show! This week was about Sons of the Forest, a sequel to The Forest. While Chris gave his review, he pointed out very - weird in game moments that def would have Shaun's skin crawling. Example, as he was building his base and fence... a man, would just sit and watch him. Not just any "normal" man - nope it was a cannibal. This game also has Feral Humans. How cree...

Hello! We thank you for downloading the show this week. Shaun was giddy to cover the brand new PSVR2 system - that arrived on launch day thanks to the folks from Sony and PlayStation.  In addition to talking about the unit itself, he also went into to some in-game type experiences. Noted was the presence of a potential to use the tech like eye-tracking in other PSVR2 games.  Last week we...

All three of the boys are here this week - so yay! The topic was awesome - and came via a rare Nintendo "shadow drop" - Metroid Prime - remaster. Jon gave it the highest of praises and proclaimed that we all should play it,...

Hello! Thanks for checking out the show! This week, if you love scary vibes and creepy space stuff, you found a good show to listen to. Jon and Chris recently played the brand new remake of the 2008 classic, Dead Space. Brought to us again in 2023 by Motive Studios, you have to hear what the boys say. It was very cool to listen knowing both had played the original game. Potential GOTY? Maybe. Just...

Hello again! We are back and ready to discuss things!  So with the year starting, we put together a list of things we think the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) need to do this year.

The last "live" episode of 2022 ends with a game - turned topic - that Chris has been waiting for. It's called High on Life. This game is from the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty and published by Squanch Games.  The game is a comedic, first person shooter game full of that aforementioned Rick and Morty humor. As a matter of fact - Chris noted that if you are a fan of that - this game would most...

The timing of Jon's return lines up with the release of the topic for this week - which is A Plagues Tale: Requiem.

Hello once again! Welcome to the WORLD'S GREATEST Podcast about video games. We are glad to have you! Our topic this week is a game that originally came out in 2020 as a early access. It's name??? Well, it's called Grounded. Chris says it's a classic "tree puncher" - a term he says that we all should know (to his real life friends) - however, I (Shaun) have never heard of it. So this game is actua...
