The Player 2 PixelCast 195 It feels like the last fortnight or so has been spent largely recalling how Halo used to be a near culture-defining event. Sure enough, the games produced under the stewardship of 343/Halo Studios were all perfectly fine games, it’s hard to argue that the franchise has failed to hit as […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 194 We’re waist-deep into September now, and as such the games just won’t stop coming. It’s almost a relief that we’ve missed out on a couple of the bigger ones for now. That doesn’t really mean we have excessive time to just breathe, though, as this episode will help to testify: […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 193 Welcome to the gaming lion’s den that is September. We’re not two weeks in, and already games are spilling from what isn’t so much a leak as a gaping hole. We now all know what the remake of Ocarina of Time looks like, and we’re all… just… so… tired. At […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 192 We’ve made an active choice to look at things a bit more warmly this episode. Make no mistake – the games industry continues to be an absolute mess, but there’s no need for each and every topic that we do to concern itself with whatever news or event is happening […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 191 One of these days, we’re going to stop fretting about the future of videogames. One of these days. But probably not this day. What good we can do, perhaps, is to thumb our noses at the slow progress of English evolution and treat videogame as the compound noun that we […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 190 Avast! Grog! Other pirate-y sounding terms! While we watch July slide slowly towards August and then the eventual avalanche of new game releases, some of us have decided to take cover on a small island, guarding a giant chest full of shiny trinkets and being perpetually buzzed on watered-down rum. […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 189 Occasionally, over the life of the PixelCast, we have been known to revisit topics. There are perennial ones, such as reactions to reward shows and personal GOTY discussions, but occasionally we may dip into a wider pool of discussion for a second time. Usually, there would be at least a […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 188 Remember the smell of stale cigarettes and what is probably vomit mostly made up of slushy? The horrible carpet that said vomit had soaked into? The loud clink of machines converting ten and twenty-dollar notes into gold coins? No? Well then, treasure your youth while it lasts. For everyone else, […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 187 Another (just about) couple of weeks of games hype has come and gone, and we’re left to pick up the pieces. That is to say, to look back at our last predictions episode, where we thought a lot of stuff would get pushed into March or April next year and […]
The Player 2 PixelCast 186 By the time you’re listening to this, the internet has probably tied itself into an unspecified, likely very messy and painful knot after having a very normal one about a God of War game where you play as Kratos’s (gasp) wife. We didn’t know that when we recorded this, though […]
