Extreme Kirby Racing. This week, we're taking an early look at the full Kirby Air Riders experience, from Air Ride, to Top Ride, to City Trial and more in this absolutely wild game. We're also paving the way to Yakuza Kiwami 2 with a revisit to the first Kiwami, the remake of the original Yakuza story. And of course, there's some campaign, zombies, and multiplayer discussion of Black Ops 7 now that the game's been out for a while. And after all that, we take a look and make some predictions on the Game Awards Nominees. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

The Samurai Jack of all trades. This week, we delve into the multiple modes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, this year's admittedly great followup to last year's disastrous entry. But it has a huge problem, and we'll discuss that first. Will this be a return to form for the series at the end, or will it continue a downward spiral? After that, we go back to Ghost of Yotei, now that we've both finished the game. There will be some small spoilers, but we'll save the big ones for a future special. After that, we pause Pokemon Drip Elite to start taking a look at the incredible designs of Legends Z-A. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Put it in a mech suit. This week, we're back with some very early impressions on Kirby Air Riders, thanks to the Global Test Ride dropping just before recording! We've also got some opening thoughts on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the action game prequel to Tears of the Kingdom. Does it show as much promise as Age of Calamity? Only time will tell. Then, we dive deep into Metal Gear Solid Delta's Fox Hunt online multiplayer, which has proven to be both interesting and fun, but does come with a few complaints. The good games just keep rolling out! Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

The horrifying anthology returns! Join us for full spoilers on this year's mystery game. Many games owe features and mechanics to this pioneer of the genre, brought to us on modern consoles and officially released in North America for the first time ever courtesy of WayForward and Limited Run Games. Many haunts, randomized rooms, and a pulse-pounding theme are just the beginning of this short, but highly repayable and memorable 16-bit classic. Have you figured it out yet? Listen in for thoughts on this year's timely terrifying tale! Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Silent Hill, but make it Pokemon. This week, we take a big look at the long-awaited Pokemon Legends Z-A, where we return to the grand world of X and Y's Lumiose City. In this installment, Pokemon becomes real-time and brings a whole new perspective to the series. Mega Evolutions, great side quests, and quality of life improvements you could only have dreamed of back in the day highlight these opening hours. After that, we return to Silent Hill f for some closing thoughts on the initial run. What was good, what was bad, and what enemies were truly awful to deal with? You'll have to listen in to find out. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

The Gameland Before Time. This week, we've both got a ton to say about Ghost of Yotei, and most of it is complete praise. Sucker Punch's followup does so much right in terms of gameplay, character and story development, side content, and art style that it's so easy to pick up and enjoy. Atsu's tale of revenge gets more and more intriguing with each and every encounter. We're also talking quite a bit about the recent Black Ops 7 Beta, as well as its Zombies mode. Plus, a quick Silent Hill f update as the survival horror ride continues. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Where's everyone going? Space? This week, some opening thoughts on Ghost of Yotei, Sucker Punch's follow-up to one of the best games ever made, Ghost of Tsushima. This time, the player takes the role of Atsu, who sets out to find the Yotei Six in 1600s Ezo. We've got spoiler-free thoughts on the first few hours, including mission and world design, combat mechanics, and the interesting flow of the game. We've got more Borderlands 4, with both of us having finished the campaign at this point. And yes, more Silent Hill f with Hinako's treacherous journey continuing. The Dark Souls of Silent Hill keeps getting more and more interesting as time goes on. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

The "f" stands for "I tell ya what." This week, join us for an introduction to Silent Hill f, a new installment in Konami's long-running franchise with a melee-based twist. A dark tale taking place in 1960s Japan is just getting started. We've also got some more thoughts on our continuing Borderlands 4 journey, now complete with frame rate fixes and field-of-view updates. And somehow still a broken inventory system. That's not all, though, as Sony dropped a massive State of Play with new looks at Wolverine, Saros, a remaster of Dynasty Warriors 3, a huge update for Gran Turismo 7, and a whole lot more. Check us out on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Kairos is calling. This week, it's the big Borderlands 4 intro. Nearly the whole episode has us delving into the latest massive open-world adventure from Gearbox. There's a lot to unpack including moment-to-moment gameplay which is better than ever, upsetting performance issues, and some truly inexcusable item-holding side content. And what's Borderlands without a wild selection of some of the most random and interesting weapons you've ever seen in a game? It's a small start to a large Borderlands journey as the game is more of a live service than ever. But it's finally here and it was worth the wait. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.

Kratos Kong and the Borderlands Curse, a Virtual Boy exclusive. This week, join us for a discussion on one of Nintendo's longest and most varied Nintendo Directs! They've got everything from a whole bunch of announcements, products, DLC, and new games to celebrate Mario's 40th anniversary, to an actual release date for Metroid Prime 4. Things like Hades 2 and the Mortal Kombat Kollection are finally being released, with physical editions coming later. Classic favorites are getting new versions. And yes, the Virtual Boy is literally back, against all odds. We've also got a legendary tale... so legendary that you'll have to listen in to find out just what it is. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.
