With LMC Cast at an end, Urtheart, Turbo and ShadowFox bring their traditional end of year review show over to Radio Redux. But which new games played by the LMC boys in 2025 caught their eye?

Radio Redux is back, with a new look and format – but first it’s time for WinterFest 2025 over at RadioSEGA. Team RadioSEGA (Viper, Skyblaze, Greyfore) and Team LMC (T.A. Black, Urtheart, ShadowFox) are assembled once more for 3 hours of fun as Kevin hosts a decider in their best of three quiz.

Including the return of Hedgehogs and Hand Grenades, a surprising fantasy adventure replacement for Only Kev-ect, a new round called Six Degrees of Desperation and of course the climactic Next Lines round. Who will win, and what sneaky tricks are up Kevin’s quizmaster sleeve?

Season 10 of Radio Redux comes to an end as we skip back and forth in time between a lost 2024 discussion about the Sonic Symphony event (and gaming fandom in general) and Turbo and Ninten looking back on it being a year since London’s Miku concert.

As everyone contrasts and compares, Kevin mulls over the upcoming Sonic Con and drawing a line for himself – in feeling responsible for the community any more.

After Kevin introduced Urtheart to the wrestling concept of ‘The Forbidden Door’ last week, the pair continue their discussion about the partnerships of Sonic Racing: Crossworlds.

From Mega Man design cues, lamentations about which Turtles are being used and Kevin trying to explain to Urtheart how Avatar: The Last Airbender worked. Before going through all the various options you could add in from both Sonic and SEGA franchises given what they’ve got planned for their legacy/all-star series. From how cool it is for Mephilies to be the Sonic franchise’s ‘Schrodinger’s Cat’ villain, and the narrative possibilities going forward – and why he absolutely SHOULDN’T be in. To Hatsune Miku and Majima running off to have a night out and the associated Summer of Sonic 2026 idea that Kevin would put into place.

And given Sonic is selling out to literally anyone for a buck at present, Kevin uses Funko Fusion as a guide as to which franchise would play nice for some money, with more and more ludicrous suggestions until the whole show nearly falls apart. It’s ALL happening! It’s ALL canon! And if you don’t like it, well it’s ALL Rexy’s fault!

“I pity the fool who listens to SEGA of America.” This week’s show was close to the wire, but it’s definitely worth it as Urtheart and Kevin continue to discuss Sonic Racing: Crossworlds and the Minecraft festival as well as a whole host of other gaming topics.

Including Battlefield 6 taking over everything on GamesSpot, Mortal Kombat and video game movies, why the Broken Sword series might want to try a little harder at its marketing, and SEGA getting the Olympics licence back by the power of Green Amy Rose.

Plus Kevin proposes how to break a million Sonic fan hearts – and corrects Urtheart on something Cornish? The sacrilege!

After a busy week, Kevin decides the best way of getting a radio show about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds done is to invade Turbo’s Twitch livestream while he and Urtheart and playing it. After all, the Hatsune Miku festival for it is on – even though its shelf life is extremely limited, as he’ll explain.

It’s either that or explain just what else has been going on in the Sonic community this week and errrrrrrrr…. yeah, best not.

Kevin’s having a bad few days, as he battles being torn in many directions. Thankfully he is not torn on his love for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – although he has some notes. That and questions on if Rouge the Bat is having a ‘crisis’ during her tricks.

We then zip back discussing the rest of the most recent Nintendo Direct, including Kevin on the return of the Virtual Boy, Ninten on Pokémon’s interesting grasp of geography and Turbo’s confusion at yet another remake of Fatal Frame 2.

We zip back to last week to discuss more Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds after the network test, as Kevin and Urtheart heap praise on one particular design choice. Ninten gives her opinions on characters she’d like to see join the races, leading to a discussion about how SEGA need to do better with black representation in their human characters.

After that, Turbo joins Kevin and Ninten to discuss the most recent Nintendo Direct, including Metroid Prime 4 and the historically iffy popularity of the Metroid series. Some unexpected Bayonetta connections, Donkey Kong Bananza‘s DLC, Fire Emblem refusing to just leave everyone alone already and Kevin reminds everyone of that time Nintendo got terrified by boobs.

With the network test over, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is most definitely a fun experience to play. Is it an original experience? Heck no. Especially given how much work from its predecessors has been stitched into it.

Kevin, joined by Ninten and Urtheart (plus cameos from Feniiku and Luna Arcana) they discuss their first impressions. Including mechanics, story and even character development. How SEGA have still not learnt some lessons and how Shadow the Hedgehog tried to kill the Babylon Rogues in the recent animation – but then again, according to Twitter Jet The Hawk might be a domestic terrorist…

A test to see if issues are resolved. Please ignore this if you see it elsewhere
