Jan 10 2025 71 mins

This week we spread managed democracy as rookie shock troopers in Helldivers II! This game was our Community voted Game of the Year so we figured we should probably find out what that mucky lot have been up to, and get familiar with Super Earth.

Nov 29 2024 70 mins

Take a trip to the glorious (maybe?) country of Arstotzka with the boys in this weeks episode covering 2013's check-em-up Papers, please.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

Nov 15 2024 86 mins

Metal Gear Rising is a 2013 slash-em-up with a pretty cool feature in "blade mode". Blade mode allows enemies and objects in the world to be carved in real time, and the tech is still impressive today, 11 years on. I guess you could say it was... cutting edge. It's a very "Bonus Points" thing to have one of the biggest franchises in gaming (Metal Gear Solid) represented on the list

Silent Hill 2 Remake

Nov 01 2024 97 mins

In my restless dreams, I hear that podcast... We take a little holiday to Silent Hill to help leading man James find his missing/dead (???) wife Mary, following the delivery of a mysterious letter. This episode is pretty full-on so those with a sensitive disposition should probably skip! Grab your pipe (steel, for beating monsters) and join us on a trip to our special place. Click

Armed with a camera (and anything else you can get your hands on) players must survive 72 hours against the zombie horde and even worse… other survivors. This episode we are talking about the Deluxe Remaster, but its very close to the original. Cl

Oct 04 2024 64 mins

This week we are talking about The Plucky Squire, a game we were both super excited about the release of. The games main hook is that you can jump in and out of a story book, exploring the room the book is in. Maybe we were a little bit too excited for this one however... Click here for the list!

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

Sep 20 2024 66 mins

This might be the most obscure game we've done (despite it selling 1.5 million copies). Maybe more of an audio/visual art piece than a game, we dive in to the short and experimental world of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP and see what was 'cutting edge' in 2011.
