It's time for us to tinker with time as we play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, a 2003 action-adventure-platformer hybrid.

Sep 05 2024 24 mins  
It's time for us to conjure up Psychic World, this game where you play as a girl with ESP skills metaphorically coming out of her ears who is tasked with literally defeating hordes of monsters that have literally escaped from a scientific research facility. There is talk about the game (an early 90s Game Gear 2D action-platformer-schmup hybrid), as is tradition, but Chris and Ashle

Ashley introduces Chris to Rise of the Robots this week, this game where you play as a fighting robot. And probably rise or something.

With the game's special edition re-release this week, we get stuck into 1997's Tomba! (or Tombi! for European players), this PlayStation game where you play as a feral pink-haired cave boy who does missions in a side-scrolling platformer/ RPG/ Metroidvania/ action/ adventure hybrid with an unhealthy pig obsession. Is it a silk purse or a sow's ear, though? Come join us on all the u

Aug 06 2024 54 mins  
Time for a third bite of the cherry this week as we try Tomb Raider again! After playing and disliking the PlayStation original and its sequel over the last year or so, Ashley is convinced that the 2013 reboot is where it's at. With its availability on Game Pass, we give it a go. Is this the one that'll turn the tide and get us into the continuing adventures of Lara Croft?Come join

It's everybody's favourite red sunglasses-toting circular mascot - Cool Spot! This week, we play 1993's 'advergame' in which you control the titular little guy around a platforming odyssey.

It's a multiple of 10 this week so, in time-honoured tradition, we try a game that neither of us has played before. This time, we take on Thief II: The Metal Age, this game where you stealth your way through a series of missions in and around a steampunk-medieval city.

Ep.188 - Braid (PC)

May 12 2024 47 mins  
We're taking a spin through the world of Braid this week, this game where you play as a nice guy called Tim who's trying to rescue a princess. Or is he? The game is billed as a commentary on games design itself. Or is it? And the main mechanic is that you can rewind time to retry puzzles. Or do you? Yes, you do. It's a game well-loved by many for its obtuse nature so listen in to s
