This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

We've got another packed show for you this week. We'll be diving into our Week in Review, including our thoughts on The Séance of Blake Manor, Curse of Resthaven and everything else we've been playing.

Then we'll be checking out the latest Scores and New Releases, including the impressive early reception for Phantom Blade Zero, Castlevanian Belmont's Curse, and a look at what's landing on stores over the coming week.

Our Rotating Segment this episode is a review of the new Resident Evil movie. Has Hollywood finally cracked the code for adapting one of gaming's most beloved horror franchises, or is this another film destined for the Umbrella Corporation's waste disposal unit?

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

Craig and Jess with you this week. This week we'll be sharing our thoughts on a variety of games we've been playing, we'll also be breaking down the latest OpenCritic scores, looking at upcoming releases. Our Get in the Bin section makes an appearance and we'll be taking a nostalgic trip back to 2002 as we rewatch the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City trailer to see if it still hits as hard as it did all those years ago.

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

We'll be discussing Rockstar's latest comments on what comes after Grand Theft Auto VI, and why the studio believes fans won't be facing another decade-long wait for its next major release. We'll also be running through the biggest games arriving over the next week and what we have been playing. 

And stepping away from gaming for a moment, we'll also be diving into Pinocchio Unstrung, the latest entry in the ever-expanding world of twisted childhood horror adaptations, to see whether this dark reimagining of the classic tale is a surprisingly good horror film or simply another gimmick built around a familiar name.

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

Andy is now at the stage where he opens his dashboard, sees a game installed, and has absolutely no memory of where it came from.

Meanwhile, Craig spends the week bouncing between one of the year's best surprises in Silver Pines and one of the most disturbing gaming experiences imaginable in Hellraiser. Throw in Castlevania, Star Wars racing, narrative time loops, FIFA frustrations and an October release calendar that looks genuinely irresponsible, and you've got another packed week in gaming.

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

From the humble beginnings of dodgy mic setups and midnight editing… to the big 300. 

We’ve survived console wars, game delays. We’ve laughed, we’ve argued, we’ve reviewed games that probably didn’t deserve it and somehow, we’re still here and not going anywhere. 

As is typical for us, nothing special is in store for this episode so expect the usual what we’ve been playing, new releases and news.
