On episode 276 of the Gaming Meal, join CyberEric, Manny, Gilbert and Chase, as we go storytelling about our BlizzCon 2026 experience. We discussed all the new announcements made and there were some good ones: Diablo V, StarCraft, WoW Forever, and more. We had plans to discuss more news but we got heavily distracted talking about everything from the convention. Lots of fun.

On episode 275 of the Gaming Meal, CyberEric and Manny catch up on the recent PlayStation State of Play and the latest Nintendo Direct. We have been busy and there’s a lot to catch up on. Nintendo announcing a new Metroid and a new Kirby, makes us very very happy. Sony… didn’t have as much but still fun to discuss. We at least got a new shark game, Maneater 2, let’s go!

As far as the rest of the catching up, lots of games have been coming out. It’s that time of the year so we focus a bit on the latest game releases and their reviews. Wolverine may not be as GOTY material as people had hoped. We also talk about the new Fire Emblem, Onimusha, Blood of the Dawnwalker and the best rated game of the year so far (hint: it’s none of the above).
