Liz Returns for a not so spooky Halloween episode of the Crit-Rate Podcast.

This week Justin returns to the podcast as the gang discusses their first impressions of Ball Pit, Battlefield vs. Arc Raiders, and we go deep on the ethics of streaming game spoilers, and Nintendo's patent predicament.

This week Liz returns to the podcast, and we discuss the new Halo Campaign Evolved, Remedy's "Return to profitability", and Nintendo patents.

This week Alex and Justin are back in the seat talking Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, the passing of Itagaki-san, and more.

Capcom’s latest move to monetize tournament streams left fans, and developers, stunned. Meanwhile, Nintendo stealth-drops a weird Pikmin animation, and Sandfall surprise drops a free update... and continues to delight gamers everywhere.

We’re finally getting our hands on Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles and Supergiant’s stellar Hades 2, with some solid first impressions on Ghost of Yotei too. Then it's all about the big industry moves: Game Pass hits $30/month, EA goes private, and Rock Band 4 gets delisted.

Scerbo, Chou, and Alex dive deep into the latest PlayStation State of Play, from Saros’ bullet-hell chaos to Wolverine’s surprisingly violent debut.

We dive into where Silksong is landing (and missing) for each of us. Some of us are deep in the zone, others not so much. Then we go through the latest Nintendo Direct: Fire Emblem hype, Mario Galaxy nostalgia, and the sheer absurdity of Nintendo’s $100 Virtual Boy peripheral.

Silksong has us all in our feelings—Chou’s hooked, Alex is cautiously impressed, and Scerbo’s vibing with the atmosphere. We also talk Sword of the Sea platinum journeys, Gears nostalgia, upcoming direct predictions, and the "fairness" of game pricing.
