We wrap up October with the winner of our scary game poll - Alien: Isolation. Some say this might be the scariest game ever made, and I agree, but not for the right reasons. I love the Alien franchise, but I HATE this game.

The concept is cool. You play as Ellen Ripley's daughter, and you have to escape a ship full of Aliens, killer robots, and hostile staff. It's a great idea, and the first-person concept works perfectly. But it's also a stealth game, and I fucking HATE stealth games. You spend this whole game hiding in lockers or under desks and after about 6 hours of snoozing and losing, I rage quit as hard as I've ever rage quit a game.

Tyler returns to the show this week, and he may not hate this game QUITE as much as I do, but he's not a fan either. We don't think it's a "lazy" game, but we don't think it's fun. Fucking game...

And before we talk about that stupid Alien, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I think we'll ever get another Mega Man game? Would I recommend the Steam Deck to someone that just lost their Switch? And if I could be a fly on the wall and oversee a game's development, what would I pick?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Alien games: Alien vs Predator, Alien 3, and Alien Trilogy.

I might love the Ghostbusters as much as I love video games. Unfortunately, most Ghostbuster video games suck. So when it was announced that a new game, WITH the original cast, was in the works? Well, I lost my freaking mind.

I think this game is fan service cranked up to 11. You get to join the Ghostbusters, use a proton pack, hang out at the firehouse, and catch ghosts. Janine is there. Walter Peck shows up. You fight Stay Put, for fuck sakes!!!! I don't think the game under the Ghostbuster makeup is as good as it could be, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.

When you wanna talk Ghostbusters, who ya gonna call?? My buddy Daniel. We both adore what this game means to the Ghostbusters community, but we also both think it could have been a little better from a gameplay perspective. And how the hell are you not gonna let us drive the Ecto-1?!

And before we get to bustin', I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks which gaming magazine I'd read, renew, and remove? Which video game character would make the best Canadian Prime Minister? And why don't I like Retronauts??

Plus we play a round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 games based on movies: Spider-Man 2, The Warriors, and Goldeneye 007.

Video game movies may be the talk of Hollywood these days, but back in the 90's and early 2000's, the bar was much lower. Enter 2002's Resident Evil, which by the era's standards really wasn't...bad....?

I struggle with this one because I like the movie enough, but they really went off the beaten Resident Evil path. The mansion and Umbrella are there, but everything else is pretty new. Including the main protagonist, Alice. The new stuff isn't "bad", it's just not what you'd expect. The laser room scene is pretty dope, too.

My guest this week is Remember The Game's resident "evil", my pal Andre. We're both kinda torn on this movie, because like it, but we know it's not really that good. Kinda how I'd describe this podcast, frankly.

And before we get evil, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I'd ever consider doing a'PG' episode of the show? Why do I hate Disney? And what makes a scary video game a GOOD scary video game?

Plus we play a round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 horror gaming flicks: Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead, and Silent Hill.

This has to be one of the most requested episodes in RTG history. And with the Remake dropping this week, I figured it's finally time to talk Silent Hill 2. I get why so many people say this is the best game in the series now. Superb video game.

Over the past few years of Remember The Game?, I've played Silent Hill 3 & 1, but 2 always got stuck in the backlog. I was a little nervous that when I finally got around to playing it, it wouldn't live up to the years of hype from listeners. And while I still think I prefer Resident Evil for my horror fix, Silent Hill 2 is fantastic. Intriguing (albeit confusing) story, great setting, I liked the characters. Honestly, I can't think of too much about this game I don't like. Except maybe James's inability to stop staring at Maria...

My buddy Patrick completes to Silent Hill hat trick on the show this week, and honestly this was one of my favourite episodes of the past few years. We had a great chat about a great game, got into what we interpreted the ending to mean, and pretty well just blew smoke up the ass of Silent Hill for an hour.

And before we start checking doors, I stumble through another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what I think of the "review bombing" trend online these days. Have I ever played one of the LEGO games? And in an era of micro-transactions, employee layoffs, and incomplete games, why does From Software stand out?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one is all Silent Hill: Silent Hill 1, Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill 4.

I love Jurassic Park. Phenomenal movie. Outstanding book. I figured the SNES game had to be great too, right? Wrong. I'd rather share a bathroom with Dennis Nedry than play this fucking game...

The concept is solid. It's part top-down shooter, part first-person shooter. Dinosaurs are running wild, the soundtrack is great. It should be fun. But the non-stop deaths, running around aimlessly looking for ID cards, and the tedious/slow first-person segments just shut it down before it gets started.

Poor Tyler is my guess this week, and we were on the same page for this one - Jurassic Park sucks. That dickhead Angry Adam even makes an appearance this week. I tried to stop him, but this game...

And before we talk about this big pile of shit, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks about having too much to play and not being able to choose a game to stick with. Did I ever play gams on my graphing calculator? And what's my focus for my retro game collection these days??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 SNES games based on 90's movies: The Mask, Batman Forever, and T2.

So on this week's episode, I'm counting down the 10 scariest games I've ever played.

If you enjoy this, we have a TON more waiting for you on Patreon (ad-free, too!). You can also write into the show, join our Discord, help choose the games we cover, and more! Subscriptions start at just $3/month at Patreon.com/RememberTheGame

The PlayStation 2 has one of the most stacked libraries in gaming history. So when Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time beat out a bunch of games to win the PS2 Patreon Poll, I was intrigued. And after playing the game, I totally get it. Sands of Time is awesome.

I love these puzzle platforming-esque games, and you can see the DNA of so many gems from today in Sands of Time. The controls can be a little irritating at times, but the action, that dope rewind function, some humorous voice acting and the reasonably tight combat kept me invested for me entire 10-ish hour playthrough.

My buddy Daniel played this one back when it came out. I finished it about 5 hours before we recorded. But 2 decades doesn't change the fact that a good game is a good game. And Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a good fucking game.

And before we play with sand, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I'm getting more concerned about game preservation as online stores on classic consoles start shutting down. Who are my video game crushes? And is "any" publicity for a game actually "good" publicity?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of my favourite PS2 games: God of War, Twisted Metal: Black, and Bully.

X-Men Legends is one of those games I've been wanting to cover on the show for years. I loved it back when it came out, and replaying it twenty years later, I'm happy to say it holds up in the best way. This is a must-play for superhero junkies.

If you've never played it, this was the game that paved the way for the Ultimate Alliance series. You form a team of 4, choosing from over a dozen members of X-Men, and then it becomes a bad-ass dungeon crawler. Every character controls the same but plays different, and when you add in the multiplayer facets, you got yourself a hummmmm dinger.

My buddy Tyler is the Nightcrawler to my Gambit, and we had a chat about why this truly is one of the best super hero games ever made. If you've never played it, I hope we convince you to take the leap. Just don't use Emma Frost. She sucks.

And before we play with legends, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I played any classic PC games as a kid, and I put out a call to action for the hot dogs. Has a video game ever humbled me? (Yes). And do I have any plans to change up the show anytime soon?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 retro X-Men games: The Uncanny X-Men (NES), X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (SNES), and X-Men (Genesis).

We have over 650(!) bonus podcasts in our Patreon archives at this point, so I like to toss a freebie on here now and then. Plus we're moving this week, so I haven't had time to play anything. One of my favourite things to do on Expansion Pas are console retrospectives. We look back at the systems we grew up with and share our memories and stories while we examine a console's legacy. And for my money, they don't get any legacier than the legendary NES.

Over 6 years of this podcast, I've discovered some GREAT Genesis games. But this week, we're actually covering of the rare Sega games I played as a kid. The sexy as hell shooter known as Vectorman.

There were a few games on the Sega side of the console wars back in the 90's that genuinely made me jealous as a Super Nintendo kid, and Vectorman was one of them. I absolutely adored the way it looked (still do), and it was a surprisingly competent platformer/shooter as well. You play as a bot made out of orbs, and you spend the game running, gunning, an transforming as you take on other robots made of orbs. And you blow up a lot of TVs, too. It's a fairly difficult game, but one that gets pretty beatable with a little practice. I think it's a must-play game in the Genesis library.

My guest this week was the guy that suffered my wrath on the Ecco the Dolphin episode, my pal Andre. We got into how good Vectorman looks, how decently it plays, he frustratingly tough it can be, and of course, we made a bunch of balls jokes.

And before we talk balls, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I could buy one gaming studio, who would it be? What's on my Mt. Rushmore of video game collection items? And what gaming mechanic has become wayyyy too over played?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Genesis platformers: Quackshot, Rocket Knight Adventures, and Dynamite Headdy.
