This week Cory and Jordan have a special guest Jared Wilson on the show to answer the ultimate question: What is the Best Video Game of All Time?

Today we dive down the Rabbit Hole that is Blue Box Game Studios and their game Abandoned! Buckle up for a wild ride baybeeee because this episode is basically the q-anon conspiracy theory video game equivalent. Is Blue Box a real game studio, or is it a cover for a weird marketing strategy by Hideo Kojima? Find out here probably! 

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains a discussion about workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, and suicide.

Welcome back to VIDEO GAMES. It's been a rough week in the industry, and we talk about a lot of heavy topics including the development hell and toxic workplace at Ubisoft Singapore, and Activision Blizzard being sued by the State of California for alleged sexual harassment and discrimination among other things. We also talk about the Dead Space Remake, and ask "When is it time to let a series die?". 

We wrap up the show talking a little bit more about Skyward Sword as Cory is starting to enjoy it more, Deaths Door (a wonderful new game), and Alba. Enjoy!

Welcome back to VIDEO GAMES. 

This week Jordan and Cory discuss the Steam Deck, Netflix Video Games, Black Panther, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl! We also get into a discussion about the differences between Remakes, Remasters, and enhanced ports, and share our thoughts on wether or not we think the industry is over-saturated with them. Lastly, but certainly not least, we discuss The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and what Zelda game we'd have rather seen re-released for the franchises 35th anniversary. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first ever episode of Backlit Games! This week Cory and Jordan reminisce over the games they grew up on, discuss Sony acquisitions, the Nintendo Switch OLED Version announcement, and Ubisoft's venture into Games as a Service with Assassin's Creed Infinity. We also take a quick dive into the concept of Games as a Service (GaaS), asking things like, "What makes a good service game?", "Where will this model go from here?", "Is this even sustainable?". Then we wrap things up with a conversation about the Mass Effect franchise and Mario Golf Super Rush. Enjoy!
