Welcome to the newest instalment of The Good Games & Good Drinks Podcast. On this episode we talk about the worst kept secret in games which is the updated PS Plus/PS Now Megazord.

We are almost caught up getting the archived episodes out so here is another oldie but goodie. 

We've had some technical difficulties but we are still kicking here at the Good Games & Good Drinks Podcast. We have a few episodes in The Backlog ™ so we will be coming in hot the next few days and get back to our regular schedule next week. In episode 13 we discuss Nintendo and Game Freak's decision to put out ANOTHER Pokémon game this year actually have a real Pokémon Trainer join to school us on a few things. Lawrence lets us know if he will update his game purchase quota for the year with Soul Hackers 2 and a his idea for a different spin on a gaming genre that may get us canceled. Lastly we switch up our Question of the Week with a drink related topic since it is the Good Game & Good Drink Podcast after all.

If you were looking forward to a game coming out there is a good chance you actually had the chance to play it this week. Horizon Forbidden West, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, and Elden Ring all released within a 7 day period with all receiving high praise from multiple publications. Will Good Games & Good Drinks agree with those assessments?

See Title - That pretty much sums up this episode

We have reached double digits in this milestone episode of Good Games & Good Drinks. This week we talk about Sony's turn on the Monopoly board as they acquire Bungie for light $3.6 billion.

In this episode of the Good Games & Good Drinks pod we tap into a plethora of topics that caught our attention. Activision confirms our previously speculated thought that the next three Call Of Duty game WILL be on PlayStation. After that the writing on the wall is pretty unclear so we will see what the future holds. Would you pay a premium to be able to play a game early? If so how much?

Steam Deck decided to hop in the gaming platform chat this month and we discuss this interesting new way to consume PC games. Xbox also wanted to stay in the news cycle with an update to the way they handle dormant Game Pass accounts and PlayStation came through with the PS Plus game for February.

All of that plus the usual weekly topics so join us on this jam packed episode!

On this episode of The Good Games & Good Drinks Podcast we give our opinionated facts revolving around Dying Light 2's recent posts regarding the time needed to complete the game, and when is a game actual "complete" within different genres. We also touch on the newest way to catch them all with the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus and if this will make us want to dust off our pokeballs and get to work. 

As always we have our random tomfoolery and the question of the week so please enjoy this semi bonus episode and we will be back later on this week for our regularly scheduled program.
