This week the crew digs into new games like Mouse PI for Hire and Pragmata, as well as discussions on a newly infamous IGN review, changes to gamepass, and a brand new Nintendo announcement.

A hacker group tried to extort Rockstar — and accidentally sent Take-Two's stock soaring by a billion dollars. We break down the GTA 6 chaos, plus our latest time sinks in Crimson Desert, Pokémon Legends, and more.

From Crimson Desert’s messy-but-fun gameplay to strong opinions on the new Mario movie, the crew unpacks a quieter week in games.

We're back with another episode of the Crit-Rate podcast, this time we discuss Epic layoffs, The current budget of AAA's, and Nintendo's new pricing policy.

Scerbo goes all in on Resident Evil 9, Liz gets lost in the Pokémon-flavored comfort zone of Pokopia, and the crew reunites after DICE and GDC to talk about what’s actually worth playing. Then things get spicy: PlayStation’s AI upscaling gets a pass, Nvidia’s new DLSS push absolutely does not, and everyone agrees that “better graphics” means nothing if you sand off the artist’s soul.

What a week of news! So many shakeups at Xbox, and a major loss at Sony with Bluepoint. Justin and Liz join live to discuss.

This week we dig into Highguard’s strange structure and strong gunplay, break down Ubisoft’s massive layoffs and game cancellations, and react to the full reveal of Fable. Plus: Crit Rate playtest updates, Game Freak’s wild new project, and Alex steps away (but not goodbye forever!).

Happy New Year! Liz and Justin kick off the New Year by discussing what each of their 3 most anticipated games are.
