  • 1H1D #32: The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut

    This game sounds suspiciously like Tom's Blind Guardian Song of the Week!


    Back in the 1980's there was a trilogy of fantasy RPG games that captured the hearts of many PC gamers. Three decades after that trilogy went dormant, inXile Entertainment has successfully crowdfunded and released this fourth installment. How will this dungeon crawler stack up to the reputation of its franchise? Will knowledge of that old franchise be crucial to enjoy this newer title? Does the fact that one of our hosts plays a bard in D&D influence his final decision? It's time to hit play and discover if this game gets a standing ovation or gets booed off stage!

    How many of these card games are on Game Pass? Are we destined to find out?


    Is it possible that the "Surpise Me" button has attained sentience? For this episode, it has selected another "card & board" game for us play! Developed and published by Tinogames Inc, this title is described as a "strategic, deck-building game" and that definitely sets some expectations. How will this game stack up against Nowhere Prophet? We will be compelled to dust off our Magic: The Gathering decks after the hour is up? Give this episode a listen and you'll get our decision!

  • 1H1D #30: Nowhere Prophet

    What happens when you blend together a chose your own adventure book and a collectible card game?


    Returning from its vacation, the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button is back to work and has selected a roguelike with tactical, card-based combat for this episode. Developed by Sharkbomb Studios and released in 2019, this game has managed to fly completely under our collective radar. Will we regret missing it until now? Will this fusion of multiple game genres prove to be more like Vegito or more like Gokule? We took an hour of our time and made our decision! Press play to find out what we think!

  • 1H1D: Hey Guys, Whatcha Playin'?

    This is not a sketch comedy show, please don't sue us.


    It may shock you to learn that the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" Button makes some of our decisions but not all of them. We were asked what we have been playing besides games for this show, so we are taking the opportunity to share some insight into our offline gaming habits. We discuss Tom's current love for VR and the growing backlog that haunts poor Chris. If you want to get to know your hosts a little bit better, give this bonus episode a listen! Better yet, send us your questions and we may answer them on a future episode!

  • 1H1D #29: Grand Theft Auto V

    Don't let the roman numeral fool you, this isn't actually the fifth GTA...


    It is a small miracle that one of our hosts has managed to avoid playing this Triple-A action-adventure sandbox title for as long as he has! Developed by Rockstar North and published back in 2013, this game has appeared on just about every platform out there. On this episode, we are joined by Curt from the Half Hour Bros Podcast and he will help us determine if one of our hosts has spent the past decade missing out. Will this title prove to be as mature as all its critics say? Will that even matter if it's lots of fun to play? Start the episode to find out!

  • 1H1D #28: Ori and the Will of the Wisps

    So is Ori a monkey, a rabbit, or a fox? Wait a sec... how about a lombax?


    On this episode, we give the surprise me button the day off and play a game requested by our listeners! To add to the drama, we have conscripted those very listeners to defend their recommendation! How's that for a monkey's paw? How will we feel after an hour of playing this platforming Metroidvania-style game developed by Moon Studios? Will we learn the will of the wisps while we play? Probably not... but you will learn our thoughts when you hit play on this episode!

  • 1H1D #27: Pandemic: The Board Game

    The year is 2021 and we are grappling with a pandemic... also we play a game about it.


    You can tell this one is random because playing a video game based on a board game about managing a pandemic while living through an actual pandemic is probably not at the top of our to-do lists. Well, the "Surprise Me" button has spoken and we are obliged to acquiesce. What will we think of Asmodee Digital's translation of the acclaimed tabletop game? Will we be able to solve our fictional pandemics quicker than the real one? We sure hope so, we only have an hour to make our decision! Now it's time for you to hit that play button to find out if we are able to save the world...

  • 1H1D #26: Rain on Your Parade

    Ever feel like the weather is out to get you? Well... it is.


    The random titles chosen by the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button continue this week. For this episode, our dynamic duo were tasked with spending an hour playing a funny, quirky puzzle game developed by Unbound Creations. Will our hosts use the power of Zeus to make the world a happier place or will they rain mercilessly on all the denizens of this cartoon world? The clock is ticking! Press play and our hosts will bring the thunder... and the lightning... but mostly, the rain.

  • 1H1D #25: UnderMine

    Sure, on the surface it's clearly a game about mining, but is the title also foreshadowing something else?


    Our hosts have been tasked with descending into the dark to harvest precious metals and locate the source of some unsettling noises in this action-adventure, roguelike game by Thorium Entertainment. What will they unearth as they spend an hour with the game? Will this random Xbox Game Pass title turn out to be a real gem? Will there be even worse puns in the episode or was this all of them? There's only one way to find out, so go on and hit play now!

  • 1H1D #24: Night in the Woods

    If you thought we took a break from games to watch a horror film... you probably googled the wrong title.


    On this episode, our hosts talk about their hour-long experience with the single player adventure game developed by the very indie studio Infinite Fall. Originally funded on Kickstarter, this game has made its way on to Xbox Game Pass and was randomly selected by the "Surprise Me" button for review. Will this game live up to prior expectations? Will an hour of game time reveal enough of the plot to rope in our hosts? Is there a cabin out there in these woods? These answers and more await you, all you need to do is press play!
