In this first episode of The Double Life Podcast, Terry and Adam discuss their hopes for the videogames industry as it goes through its most turbulent time yet. Adam gushes over Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and shares his experience with Mafia: The Old Country - is it any good? Terry is in love with Team Asobi’s Astrobot (who isn't?), and talks about Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster - particularly Final Fantasy II.

Double Life is a weekly show celebrating videogames and the people who make them. Join me, Terry Jeffs and my co-host Adam Varey as we discuss the games we are playing - retro titles, indie projects, big budget releases, and everything in between.
