There are many implausible things about the movie Cliffhanger. First and foremost, we're to accept John Lithgow as a villain. Second, is everything else. The Cliffhanger game, unfortunately, is an uninspired brawler/platformer in the vein of Double Dragon. And we didn't even play the version that has you, apparently, snowboarding on a corpse.

Autumn Greer joins us to talk about an episode that seems like it will be a coming-of-age tale for the Venture boys, but instead becomes a thirty date pileup as Phantom Limb and the Monarch vie for Dr. Girlfriend's affections, and Rusty is caught in the crossfire. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....

Eternam is a very strange adventure game. Taking cues from Westworld, you play as Don Jonz, who won a vacation package to a fantasy planet, only to learn that his arch rival is working some kind of scheme there. Decent jokes and horrifying faces abound!

We continue our discussion of Remnant: From the Ashes by talking about the first two major biomes of the game. We begin on Earth, which is ravaged by the Root even though that should be impossible. Then we reach the interdimensional Labyrinth, which takes us to the world of Rhom which has been seared by nuclear fire at the hands of the Undying King.

When Brock coincidentally finds a video taped message from Jonas Venture Sr., he sets in motion a globetrotting adventure to save the world. Unfortunately for Rusty, this means they have to ask for help from J.J. and Sally Impossible, who is still enamored with him. This episode is jam-packed with jokes and action-packed with... action.

The wild swings that developers took on the PS2 are infinitely fascinating, and one that you don't hear too much about is Dog's Life. It's a bad game, but there's not much else like it. It's open-ish world, you play as a dog, and you can shit and piss at the press of a button. One person does all of the voices, and the ending needs to be seen to be believed.

Talion caught a bad break. Not only did Sauron kill his family in front of him, but he was killed too! And then an elf spirit had the nerve to possess him and send him on a rampage of vengeance across Mordor! What a revolting predicament. This open world game's big hook is the Nemesis system, which supercharges the sandbox with an evolving army of captains and rivals for you to hunt and manipulate. The story is pretty bland, but you can't deny that this is one of the most inventive open world ga...

Thank you Joe! You're trapped in an incomplete game, and given the power to rewrite your reality. It sounds amazing, and there are plenty of grace notes, but this game is a bit too messy for its own good, making broad points with broad characters in a way that left us both feeling a bit cold. A standout performance from James Urbaniak can't quite save this ambitious but flawed indie. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Did you know they made a TV movie out of Legends of the Hidden Temple? And that it's actually kind of okay? This month's Adaptation Decay is a slight deviation from our usual formula, as we talk about the Nickelodeon game show classic, and then examine its faithful film adaptation.

When you think of Alone in the Dark, you probably associate it with good things. It helped establish the survival horror genre! It's Lovecraftian as all hell! But the truth is, outside of that first game, the series just isn't that good. Enter Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare for GameBoy Color... the port that shouldn't be, of the reboot that shouldn't have been.

Will Hughes joins us for the most belligerent episode of ORB yet... as we discuss Escape to the House of Mummies Part 2. We're dropped in media res into Team Venture's attempt to use a time machine to stop an Osiris cult from doing something horrible. Once the team gets trapped, Dr. Venture wriggles his way out of the pyramid and promptly forgets about his boys, as he's roped into a science vs. magic contest with Dr. Orpheus.

The multiverse is in danger. A creeping, overtaking force called the Root comes to worlds and sucks them dry. It's up to you to follow in the footsteps of the man who tried to stop them, and hopefully finish the job. This is the other "Dark Souls With Guns" game, with the added gimmicks of being multiplayer and partially procedurally generated. In this episode, we talk about the generalities, mechanics, and we go through the tutorial areas. The next episode will cover Earth and Rhom, most likely...

The Trauma Center series is one of the more interesting things to come out of Nintendo's love affair with strange control schemes in the DS and Wii era. These "surgery simulators" end up playing more like a cross between a light gun shooter and Rock Band, as you cut into your patients and use a number of surgical tools to solve their problems and keep them alive. Less successful is the wrapping story, about impossibly young doctors and medical terrorists who inject people with lung bugs. Thanks,...
