For the month of May I'll be playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/), which is the sequel to one of the games I most enjoyed playing last year. This will be fun! New this week is also Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (https://zelda.nintendo.com/links-awakening/) which is a beautiful remake of the 1993 Game Boy game. Classic Zelda gameplay, modern visual style! Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the book Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Battle-Scars/dp/B0B9T79MCP) for fans of Fallen Order who want to get a look at events that connect the two Jedi games. As always, I'd love to have a conversation about any of the things I talked about in the podcast this week, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and let's chat!

This week I'm wrapping up my time with Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1817070/Marvels_SpiderMan_Remastered/) and talking about the open world design of the game. Spoiler: it's great! This week I also tried out Final Fantasy XIII-2 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/292140/FINAL_FANTASY_XIII2/) for the first time and enjoyed my time with it. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the 2014 RoboCop (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234721) movie, which I found to be a lot of fun.

First up this week, I'm talking about movement in Spider-Man (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1817070/Marvels_SpiderMan_Remastered/) and how Insomniac captured the character so well! I also tried recent RoboCop: Rogue City (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1681430/RoboCop_Rogue_City/), which did a great job of capturing the feeling of being RoboCop. Last but not least, I'm recommending the new The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28650488).

This week I'm talking about the upgrades found in Spider-Man (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1817070/Marvels_SpiderMan_Remastered/) and how they relate to Spidey as a character. I also got kind of lost in the 2015 remaster of the classic 1998 adventure game Grim Fandango (https://store.steampowered.com/app/316790/Grim_Fandango_Remastered/). Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the book Empire of Silence (https://a.co/d/0eCczCYc) by Christopher Ruocchio, which I think fans of Dune will like.

Welcome to the month of April, where the big focus this month is Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1817070/Marvels_SpiderMan_Remastered/)! It's amazing, truly spectacular, and sensational, and I'm excited to play more of it this coming month. This week I also got to try out the brand new Crimson Desert (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3321460/Crimson_Desert/), and while it's a little rough around the edges, it's one that I think will probably be a really great game in time. Last but not least, in honor of the sequel coming out next week, I'm recommending The Super Mario Bros Movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6718170) for fans of Mario and everyone who likes fun. As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and we'll have a conversation!

This week as I'm wrapping up my time with God of War (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593500/God_of_War/), I'm talking about the way that spectacle is all over the game. I also played Elite Dangerous (https://store.steampowered.com/app/359320/Elite_Dangerous/) this week and got to experience a top-quality space-sim where freedom to determine how you want to play is absolute. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the show Firefly (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461) from 2002, which is great, but also getting an animated sequel series?! Of course, I'd love to chat about any of this stuff, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod)!

First up this week, I'm talking about the physicality found in God of War (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593500/God_of_War/) and how it grounds the world and tells us about the characters found in it. I also played Pokémon Fire Red (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/english-pokemon-firered-version-switch/) for the first time this week and really enjoyed my time going back to what may be the best version of this classic game. Last but not least, I'd like to recommend the show For All Mankind (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7772588) which is a great alt-history science fiction show!

This week I took a closer look at what I think is the heart of the 2018 God of War (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593500/God_of_War/) based on some early interactions in the game. I also played in the server slam event for Marathon (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3065800/Marathon/) to try out Bungie's latest shooter. This week I'm also recommending the excellent book Project Hail Mary (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54493401-project-hail-mary) from author Andy Weir.

New month, new big focus! This time it's the excellent God of War (2018) (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593500/God_of_War/), which was kind of a soft reboot for the God of War franchise. This week I also played Singularity (https://store.steampowered.com/app/42670/Singularity/) from Raven Software, one of my favorite developers. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the composer of God of War's music, Bear McCreary (https://bearmccreary.com/projects/), who's done a lot of great work that you should check out! As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and let's have a conversation.

This week I wrap up my time with Sea of Stars (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244090/Sea_of_Stars/) by looking at a variety of different systems found within the game. I also tried out The Stanley Parable (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1703340/The_Stanley_Parable_Ultra_Deluxe/) for the first time and found it to be surreal and a lot of fun! I'm also going to recommend the TV show Tacoma FD (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8026448) this week, which is a fun Broken Lizard comedy set in a fire station. As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of the things I talked about in this episode, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and let's chat about it!
