The GameCola Podcast

Sun Tzu said: "On this episode of the GameCola Podcast, we spend a significant amount of time discussing the subject of "tactics" games. Follow along with Joseph Martin, Alex Jedraszczak, John Rizzi, and Blu Ryder as they discuss their experiences with the genre and more!"

Historians have been baffled by the meaning of this passage UNTIL TODAY.

- Uh-oh, Jeddy played a videogame and didn't like it again!

- Front Mission displays a lot of the major issues with tactics games

- Most tactics games we have enjoyed have had significant departures from the standard formula

- Mega Man Battle Network 4 is still frustrating for all the same reasons

- The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer was very tactical

- Tactical videogames we've been playing in recent times
