When four teenagers get exclusive tickets to the new theme park Illbleed, they find themselves getting far more than they bargained for. Illbleed offers a 100 million dollar prize to anyone who can survive the park's terrors, so it seems like a pretty good deal, right? Well, when three of the teens disappear within the park, its up to Eriko Christy to find her friends and get to the bottom of what's really lurking in this dangerous attraction.

The yearly Spookchamber begins and the boys celebrate by descending into the subterranean depths of the obscure PS1 title HELLNIGHT.

Fleeing from this unexpected new threat, our hero stumbles upon the Tokyo Mesh, a vast underground city occupied by the strange and the mad.

Assigned to investigate a series of bombings in Chinatown, Nick instantly butts heads with the Triad and the Russian Mob as he scours the streets for the perpetrator. Along the way, Nick's Steven Seagal-esque rampage brings him answers about an international conspiracy and even the mysterious fate of his late father. But mostly he just shoots a whole bunch of dudes.

In this penultimate episode of Listener Request Summer Mk II, the boys delve into the forgotten Bioware classic, Jade Empire.

Jade Empire is a story set in a fantastical version of ancient China.

That's right, this game is about successfully punching ghosts!

In this jumbo sized episode, the boys finally venture into the legendary Final Fantasy franchise with what is wildly agreed to be the worst title to bear the name: Dirge of Cerberus.

In this ill-advised spin-off, Square Enix attempts to turn brooding optional character Vincent Valentine into a full blown action hero. Three years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, another of the Shinra Corporations sinister experiments surfaces in the form of a paramilitary murder squad acting under mysterious orders. For some reason, the rest of the FF7 gang is busy, so it's up to Vincent to get to the bottom of this new catastrophe. This very silly catastrophe.
