Well, we were all set to record an episode about the Silent Hill film and then Troy Baker decided to try to gaslight everyone into supporting theft, practices that are destructive to both the environment and the games industry, and all other kinds of Nasty Fucking Things. 

We kick off the new year by taking a look at the one we've just left behind, and some of the great games we played along the way. 

We wrap up this shitshow of a year by revisiting our predictions for the gaming landscape, and making new ones for 2022. We also begin a new Video Game Fantasy draft. Feel free to play along and let us know your picks over on Twitter at @mgs_podcast.

We are down to the final two PS1 games, and we're wrapping up with a couple of bangers. First up is Parasite Eve, a game that absolutely deserves a remake. And then, next week, join us for the final PS Once Upon a Time episode when we will chat about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. 

This week, we're talking about the first Resident Evil film, one of the more well-known game-to-film adaptations, and one that created a long-lasting film franchise, for better or for worse. There's a lot to take in here.

It's hard to resist the allure of a time that's as excited about its own title as Tomba! So here we are ranking this pink-haired boy and a bunch of swine against the other PS1 games we've played this year. Here's the current list:
