The tale of Vince Perri and Action 52 is one that is often told but definitely worthy of a revisit. Adrian tells us the story, the highlights of the doomed 52-game compendium (with extracts from our interview with head dev Mario Gonzalez), and why it will always have a place in video gaming folklore.

Has Dylan finally lost the plot? Here he "treats" us to a rundown of all three (yes, three) Dino Crisis games, tells us what made (some of) it good, how it went horribly wrong and whether if done right, this could have been bigger than Resident Evil. Needless to say everyone laughed. A lot. Is Dino Crisis in desperate need of a remaster? Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of conversation?
