One of the all time great storytelling feats in gaming is the focus of episode 6 of The Past Play Gaming Podcast, where BioShock takes center stage.

A game built heavily around a famous mystery and twist, BioShock also brings a healthy dose of 50's nostalgia, while managing to make small children and lounge singing creepy.

Topics include: the best vending machines in world history, dogs in wheelchairs, and the uneventful aftermath to the greatest gaming twist of all time.

The third of the launch episodes of the Past Play Gaming Podcast looks back on a unique and emotionally charged adventure puzzler- Shadow of the Colossus, developed originally by Team Ico and remade by Bluepoint Games.

Topics include, horse riding for dummies, giving each colossus the most cringe-worthy nickname possible, and why this game is just like Super Mario. Intriguing, no?

**Note on audio quality: You may be able to hear a tapping noise in our first batch of episodes. It is our first time recording something like this but we are doing what we can to fix this in future. In 99.9% of cases it does not interfere with our voices but we recognize it can be frustrating in the background. In our testing the noise was almost unnoticeable when not using head/earphones so give that a try if you find it distracting.**
