Hyper-Bolic Game Chamber

This episode, the boys return to the world of tactical espionage with the manic spy action of Syphon Filter, an action game developed by the makers of Bubsy 3D.

The story follows Gabriel Logan and Lian Xing, ace special agents hot on the trail of a madman named Rhoamer. After a deadly attack on Washington DC, Gabe and Lian stumble onto a sinister plot and vast conspiracy surrounding Rhoamer and the mysterious Syphon Filter virus. Gabe and his trusty "nonlethal" taser sets off on a mad chase across the globe to uncover the scheme and save the world, all while talking very fast.

This episode, the boys take a trip to the city of Edge with thier first foray into the beat-em-up genre, The Bouncer!

The Bouncer is the story of three bouncers, actually; Sion, Kou, and Volt (the best one). After thier bar is attacked and actual ninjas kidnap Sion's kinda-sorta girlfriend, the trio give chase and find themselves quickly caught up in a battle against megalomaniacal madman and his corporate stooges. The Bouncer has it all: ninjas, shapeshifters, robots of all varieties, death rays, and even our old friend, the humble train fight.

This episode, the boys dust off a fairly obscure action adventure title from 2003 with Primal.

Primal follows the story of Jennifer Tate, a seemingly ordinary young woman who quickly finds herself wrapped up in some wild stuff. After she and her boyfriend are attacked by a creature from another dimension, Jen is visited by a gargoyle named Scree who takes her to the Nexus of worlds to help in the battle against the lord of chaos, Abaddon. For Scree, it's about saving the multiverse, but Jen just wants to rescue her boyfriend from a frog demon. Can the mighty power of morphing help them to achieve their goals?

Of course it can, it's a video game.

This episode, the boys are reunited with thier old friend Samanosuke Akechi as they wrap up the Onimusha trilogy and face the Demon Siege!

9 years after Oni-2-sha, Nobunaga Oda has returned from the grave and brought his demonic army with him. Samanosuke travels to Honnoji Temple to settle the fight once and for all but a fiendish trap sends him hurtling through time itself. Sam finds himself in Paris in 2004 where the demons have begun another invasion. At the same time, Jacques Blanc, a french soldier in 2004, is warped back to the Warring States Era, and must face the invasion in samurai times. Sam and Jacques must work together across time to defeat Nobunaga and thwart the diabolical plans of the demon Guildenstern! Also, Jennifer Hale is there.

The boys return to the blighted world of Nosgoth with one of the most iconic games on the Playstation, Soul Reaver!

Centuries after the end of Blood Omen, Kain's twisted empire rules the world. His chief Lieutenant, Raziel, is betrayed and murdered by the man himself. But now, Raz is back, as a vengeful wraith with a hunger for souls, and he sets out to slay Kain and his brood and maybe, just maybe, repair the metaphysical damage the vampires have done over the last few hundred years.

The boys return to an old friend in the form of Dino Crisis 2, the second entry in the world's best 3rd person dinosaur-shooting franchise.

This time around, research into the mysterious 3rd Energy resulted in an entire midwestern American town being shunted back to the Cretaceous era, so its up to our heroes to travel through time and launch a rescue mission. Series veteran Regina is joined by newcomer Dylan as they tackle a legion of terrible lizards, a harsh prehistoric environment, and enigmatic techo-interlopers. Can Regina and Dylan defeat the Time Teens and save the day? Can weaponized vibrators fend off a T-Rex? Why are water levels so bad? Find out in this fresh ep!

George Carlin famously said that there were 7 big swear words you couldn't say on TV. Bulletstorm is the story of one man's journey to get that number up to triple digits.

This week the boys are glad to have that Explicit tag on iTunes as they take on this delightfully juvenile and obscenely fun first person shooter that was all too tragically overlooked back in 2011 when it launched. Bulletstorm follows Grayson Hunt as his quest for vengeance leaves him and his best pal Ishi Sato stranded on an abandoned vacation world, surrounded by screaming maniacs and bloodthirsty mutants. Luckily, Grayson has the kill skills to cut a swath through this apocalyptic landscape as they search for a way out. Also, Godzilla is there.

Starting off 2017 in a confused haze, the boys do their best to decipher the plot of the action hack-n-slash adventure Killer Is Dead.

KiD follows Mondo Zappa, an agent of an elite Execution Agency. Mondo faces off against mysterious monsters and deranged foes over the course of 12 missions, about 4 of which are actually related to the plot. His targets? Musical murderers, Yakuza kingpins, runaway trains and even a towering 100 foot monster on a rampage! And never forget, the ever present moon. The Moon is always there. The Moon is watching. The Moon is clouds.

Just in time for the holidays, it's a tale of monsters and mayhem! The Game Chamber boys return to their beloved Resident Evil series and take a look back at what might be the most iconic horror game of all time: Resident Evil 2.

Claire Redfield is looking for her missing brother. Leon S. Kennedy is just trying to get to work. They both arrive in Raccoon City just a scant few months after the infamous Spencer Estate incident and find the city overrun with the undead. Seeking shelter in the police station, Leon and Claire soon find themselves wrapped up in the latest Umbrella conspiracy as they search for an escape from the worst city in the world.

Note: This episode was recorded at the same time as Samurai Western, so it may have similar echo issues. We apologize again.

2016 has been a year of one terrible catastrophe after another. But, it also saw the release of some quality games! Jared and Greg reflect on some of the more memorable titles released this year, good and bad. Even though we forgot some big ones (sorry Dark Souls 3 and MGSV. We love you), we still had a good time making goofs and talking about Spyro.
