"THE PAST IS A CHAIN. I MUST SEVER IT COMPLETELY."

After merely three and a half years of full-time development, the sequel to 2019's STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order has finally been released worldwide! Continuing from five years after the end of the previous game, Cal finds himself fighting a rigged war, with seemingly no way out. With overhauled gameplay, an expanded open world, new characters, and further delving into the High Republic, this game takes many bold steps that have to be talked about, even if they're hindered by poor quality assurance. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive deep into the sequel they've been waiting years for, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor!

"WAAH, WAAH, WAAH, WHAT A WUSS!"

We've gone this long without making a Spider-Man-centered episode, we might as well come back around to it. For those who didn't know us from our old show, not only are we massive Spider-Man fans, but have probably played every modern game of his numerous times, and the Neversoft PS1 titles are no exception. These games arguably started the trend of superhero games being treated as more than just disposable cash grabs, and we have a lot of fond memories to go over. So, tune in as Alec and Brian discuss recent news and look back on the two original web-slinging games, Neversoft's Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro!

WHAT IF FORCE UNLEASHED HAD A GOOD PROTAGONIST WHO DIDN'T BREAK STAR WARS?

After EA tried and failed to capture the goodwill of Star Wars fans with Battlefront 1 and 2, the mega-publisher announced in late 2017 that Respawn -- best known for the underrated Titanfall franchise, now Apex Legends -- would be making a third-person singleplayer Jedi game. While many people resisted the desire to hope, things looked up in the build to launch, and even more so when the game finally released, though it didn't necessarily come out unscathed. So, tune in as Brian and Alec discuss the good, the bad, and the great about 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order!

WE GOT TOO PREOCCUPIED, WHOOPSIE!

We thought we'd be able to give concise thoughts on all the recent news before talking about Devil May Cry 5. We were so very wrong. Between the trailer for Across the Spider-Verse, all the latest info from Star Wars Celebration and more, we realized deep into this one that it'd have to be its own episode. So, come tune in as Alec, Brian, and returning guest Trey (@PrivateSpidey) discuss all the hottest topics from the entertainment world in the first of two episodes releasing today!

HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE THING WE LIKE!

The original Resident Evil 4 has been considered one of the greatest games ever made, one that revolutionized and pioneered the modern third-person shooter. So needless to say, the idea of a remake in the style of 2 and 3 seemed somewhat redundant and worrisome, as the original release still holds up to this day. Now that the revamp is finally out, and with endless amounts of praise being thrown its was -- both as a remake and as its own game -- it's time to dissect this thing and see what makes it tick. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Ren (@RailRen) talk about recent news, trailers, and the main event itself, Resident Evil 4 Remake!

THE MOST UNHINGED EPISODE YET.

The boys are joined by Trey (@PrivateSpidey) once again to continue their saga covering the Devil May Cry series! Devil May Cry 4 was the franchise's first generational jump to a new line of consoles and technology, but how exactly did it stack up to the original sixth-gen trilogy? Tune in as Alec, Brian, and Trey discuss recent news and the game itself!
