Press YYZ

Game reveals are back baby! Join Kozi, Alex, Nathan, and Mitch as they run through all of the announcements (INCLUDING THE BOX!) from PlayStation's Future of Gaming Showcase.

Times are tough - which is why on this episode of Press YYZ, we decided to share intimate stories of how games helped us through tough times in the past. We also talk about Destiny's future, developers working on next-gen, and fighting racism with games.

This is not a normal episode of Press YYZ. We discuss our feelings around the current global protests, and how we've tried to help, learn, and listen. Please go support some of our friends we mentioned on this week's show:

Have you ever watched a TV show or movie and thought "man, I wish I could play that as a video game?" So have we - which is why on this week's episode of Press YYZ, we decided to rank the best licensed games of all time. We also channel our inner Nostradamus and predict what unannounced games are still due to be unveiled this year, and conceptualize a Grand Theft Auto game set in the GTA (the Greater Toronto Area).

Have you ever obsessed to the point of insanity about an upcoming video game? So have we - which is why on this week's episode of Press YYZ, we decided to recount our most hype video game launch stories. We also discuss Paper Mario: The Origami King, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2's soundtrack, and Nintendo facing potential delays due to quarantine. We suffered from some pretty massive technical difficulties during this episode's recording, but we did our best to persevere through it!

It's time for another second helping of Press YYZ! This time around, we delve into Mitch George's mind and learn all about who he is, why he has an unrelenting love for Disney and Pokémon, and what his favourite games of all time are.

The Halo series has fallen from grace - but with Halo Infinite on the horizon, there's a real possibility for the sci-fi franchise to reclaim its former glory. This week, the Press YYZ crew (well, mostly Alex) discuss how the franchise could rehabilitate itself, and close out Master Chief's saga in satisfying fashion. We also discuss Unreal Engine 5, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake, and the continued success of the Nintendo Switch on this week's jam-packed episode of Press YYZ.

Few thought that Final Fantasy VII Remake would ever come to pass - yet it finally has, and it's taken 2020 by storm. Join Mitch, Kozi and Alex on this special episode of Press YYZ in which they delve deeply into what they believe makes Square Enix's juggernaut special, and debate what's in store next for Cloud's party.

Ever play a video game and think, "Wow, that NPC is the worst!" Well, we have too - and that's why we decided to figure out who the very worst NPC of all time is using a new game called Bracket Blitz. We also discuss Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, the fallout between Mick Gordan and id Software, and The Last Of Us Part II's catastrophic leak.  All that and more on this episode of Press YYZ!

Everyone loves second helpings - and it's time for us to provide one. In this special bonus episode, Mitch sits down with Nathan Mclnerney to learn everything there is to know about our Head of H.R. Find out what Nathan's favourite game of all time is, what got him into gaming in the first place, whether or not he would stop playing video games for one million dollars (Canadian), and much, much more on this second helping of Press YYZ!
