So this week's episode is all about the impact of such news. What does this mean for Gamepass? what does this mean for competitors? What kinds of IPs are now available as Microsoft's First Party Titles? All that and much more in Chat N Games your weekly gaming show

Hey Hey Gamers! Looks like PlayStation is preparing a more direct response to Xbox Gamepass. They are also making moves in the mobile space by adapting the PS4 DualSense controller. On the Xbox land, we got Halo Infinite dealing with cheaters and players asking the option to turn off cross play. On the plus side, they did increase the Battle Pass rewards that gamers have been demanding since its beta launch. All this and more in this week's Chat N Games Gaming Podcast

Hey Hey Gamers! In this Thanksgiving week we are thankful for a small but amazing community of passionate gamers. What a better way to celebrate it than by discussing the potential revival of a RPG classic: Chrono Cross Next Gen Remake. On top of that, we got the potential deal between Amazon and EA to make a Mass Effect TV Show for all us to enjoy. Does Mass Effect even make sense to get a video game adaptation? All that an more in Chat N Games, your weekly gaming show.

Hey Hey Gamers! This week we finally got confirmation that the Warner Bros MultiVersus, the arena fighting free to play game, is now confirmed. This is the first arena fighter that has a big emphasis on Coop. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of sad news still coming out of Activision/Blizzard regarding the mistreatment and toxic culture towards its developers. To top everything off, the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is not so "Definitive". At the very least we got an early release of Halo Infinite and it runs buttery smooth!

Hey Hey Everyone! This week we are getting close to the new Pokemon Pearl and Diamond Remakes so we touch on recent discussions about older Pokemon fans wanting a more adult like experiences. We went deep into the Pokemon hole and discuss the accessibility of Pokemon games, the difficulty, and the gameplay progression of the mainline series. We then change gears and talk about the recent digital store takedowns and how important physical media is to game preservation. IGN showed us the first impressions of the Halo campaign and Melvin goes on to talk about his hype for its release next month. All this and more in this week's Chat N Games, your weekly gaming show!
