Game Crunch

This week on Game Crunch:  It’s been a week of game releases!  The Game Crunch crew has rejoined Nathan Drake for a final(?) adventure in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.  Nick and Brandon take on the new FPS revival of the future, DOOM.  Meanwhile, Mike strays to the past with a return to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune on PS4.  Wrapping up the game playing Nick returns to the spotlight to share his… love… of Homefront: The Revolution.  News wise there are a lot of new game announcements some exciting (Civilization VI) some not as much (Star Wars Battlefront 2017), but it does make the time leading up to E3 more exciting.  Our question of the week talks about online harassment.  Can make Blizzard and Twitch make an immediate difference in the state of the online community?  All this and more!  Until next week – Game On!

This week on Game Crunch: The Overwatch beta is out and everyone is taking it for a spin to mixed results.  Speaking of taking out for a spin –  Brandon hops in the seat of Fast Racing NEO and Star Fox Zero.  Fun fact: the current level of hype for Uncharted 4 is real!  In News: Mario is coming to Minecraft and another world war is coming with the announcement of Battlefield 1.  Wrapping things up the Game Crunch team talks about the viability of cross platform play.  Can it work?  All this and more on this week’s Game Crunch!  Until next week – Game On!

This week on Game Crunch: Brandon takes flight in Star Fox Zero and returns to his old mistress Overwatch as the final release draws more and more near.  Mike, thanks to the Friends of Nintendo Humble Bundle, finally took the time to take Affordable Space Adventures for a spin.  Also he completely forgot that he played Alan Wake finally – so there’s that!  Wrapping up what they’ve been playing Nick talks about the Ratchet and Clank movie, he talks a bit about Destiny (remember that game?) and starts something new with Wolfenstein: The New Order.  The excitement doesn’t stop there though!  Nintendo’s investor news takes up a lot of discussion. Did they mess up E3?  Can the NX launch properly in March?  So many questions!  Until next week – Game On!

This week on Game Crunch: We are celebrating our 150th episode!  Starting off with what we’ve been playing Mike has taken on saving the Lylat System in the new Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard.  Brandon finds himself back to the grind in Dark Souls 3.  Nick is also saving the universe two times over between Ratchet and Clank for the PS4 and the Doom beta.  In news Brandon is wrong (about Five Nights at Freddy’s), Rock Band 4 gets an update, was Borderlands 3 announced? and more! Wrapping up the amazing package that is the 150th episode we start an official questions segment and talk about what we are excited about E3 (note: this was recorded JUST before Nintendo dropped their stealth E3 news this week).  All that and more in this week’s Game Crunch!  Till next week – Game On!

Welcome to Game Crunch: Game Mix! As a group we’ve always been very passionate about video game music and remixes.  Stemming from our discussion about video game soundtracks during the 2015 Game of the Year discussions we really started to talk about ways that we could share the music that we were passionate about with our listeners!  Since January we’ve gone through various demos of our concept and we’ve decided it’s finally time to share what we’ve been working on with you!

For our first episode I decided to commemorate the launch of a new Star Fox game and take a musical tour around the Lylat system.
