With some hindsight, we should have done this for episode 100, but we're idiots. As you can tell by the title of this episode, we did some recollecting. That's right, we went back to where it all began and we decided to look at our individual favorite games ever made again. That meant looking at our very first episode and taking a look at everything we've ever played to get to our top 10s. Some familiar names pop up and some out of left field entries pop up as well, but it's a fun ride the entir...

Video games have combat baked deep into the core of their DNA. Whether that be Mario evading or squishing goombas or Call Of Duty making warfare something fun to play.

I'm, of course, talking about those killing instruments themselves.

Art Design is one of those aspects of games that gets overlooked in video games and while we have talked about it before, we haven’t really gotten into games that have incredible art direction and that’s what w...

We did Xbox and now, we're tackling Playstation! While Sony has been the dominant leader in the console space for roughly the last five to six years, in recent memory, they have seemingly fumbled the ball repeatedly. There has been consistent mishandling of messaging, bungling of price points, and a seeming general lack of creativity coming from the Sony owned company. So what happened? Where are we sitting now? And possibly, most importantly, where is Sony headed in the near future? On this ver...

Video Games can do a number of things. They can send you on unbelievable adventures. They can tell incredibly intimate human dramas. They can send you into an unimaginable world.

So with it being Halloween (and the patrons voting for this topic). We thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and talk about some of our favorite scares in video game...

Something that has become increasingly frequent in the entire entertainment industry is remaking classics from the medium. Hollywood has been doing this for years and it has increasingly stepped into the gaming world.
