This week's theme is Mars! Claire pitches a space race RTS and Isaac pitches a wave survival FPS. Then we discuss active vs passive gaming and the apparent trend of the industry from one end to the other.

This is Make That Game, the podcast where we talk about the latest and greatest new video games... that aren't ever going to get made. We pitch 'em, you make 'em (if you want, nobody's forcing you I guess). Then we break down games we've played by game design elements we liked or didn't like so much. To close out the show we have the rapid fire round, where we generate 3 random words and come up with a game idea and design incorporating them! Needless to say, it's a riot!

If you're looking for a video game design focused podcast, we might have just the one for you!
