PlayStation Classic ignites a debate between the bros as one of us is convinced the graphics would be a barrier. An RTS based on Ender’s Game and the addition of easy mode in games rounds up the show in one of the most exciting episodes we’ve ever had.

Xbox users upgrade to keyboard and mouse and Nintendo Switch games get installed after all. A Hat in Time gets glowing reviews from P2, or at least it would if he could buy a physical copy of it (looking at you Limited Run). Rockstar comes to Switch in the form of an L.A. Noire remake!

Mega Man dominates the Prime and Portable game of the month for September and the new website is up and running like an olympic athlete! 

In our topic we tackle the controversial subject of how to play games. One designer at Nintendo recently said that they have a mentality that they know best how to experience their games and as such they often give you less freedom.

Level 2

Discuss story of the game: 13:15

• Journey's story is told wordlessly through gameplay and using cutscenes. The player's character begins on a sand dune in a seemingly endless desert. In the far distance looms a large, foreboding mountain with a glowing crevice that splits its peak. As the character approaches the mountain, they find remnants of a once-thriving civilization, eroded by sand over time. Scattered throughout the ruins at the end of each area are stones at which the traveler rests; these stones give the traveler the vision of meeting a larger, white-robed figure in a circular room, with art on the walls describing the rise and fall of the civilization mirroring the player's journey. The player must also contend with the ancient automatons left over from a war which ended the civilization, and which still roam the city looking for intruders.
