In which we unleash an episode recorded well before we all got told to stay in and play games for the foreseeable future. That was the gist of the latest guidelines, right?

Two flawed games give plenty to talk about but also plenty to enjoy. It’s almost as if we’re gluttons for punishment. Tom especially so, which Paul delights in pointing out.

The post 34: Moonwalking NPCs / SOS: The Final Escape & Assassin’s Creed 3 appeared first on .

In which Paul gets to grips with a deeply flawed game from two decades ago which Tom remembered being much better than it was. Meanwhile, Tom gets to sample one of the most lauded games in recent memory. It almost doesn’t seem fair.

Be sure to stick around to the end for perhaps the most eloquent ever description of the flaws in a boss battle.

In which Paul is 100% sure he’s played the first game on Tom’s list, until Tom starts talking about it. There’s also Wii Ware weirdness, trilogy-ending twists, Ridge Racer reprises and H2O-based happenings.

Oh, and we open on the Playdate, which was fresh news when we recorded this 12 years ago.

The post 29: Not fun and not interesting / Chibi Robo! Zip Lash, The Division, Destiny 2, Resistance, Burly Men at Sea appeared first on .

In which your hosts suffer two of the worst fates known to man: being trapped on a spaceship with homicidal aliens, and being trapped playing a game with atrocious voice acting.

Paul takes on Dead Space and finds a game that holds up superbly more than 10 years on, while Tom really quite enjoys Final Fantasy Type-0 HD despite some utterly bewildering design decisions.

Then they pick a couple of games for next time that, it’s fair to say, provoke differing levels of enthusiasm.
