The Press Playcast

It was only a matter of time before we tackled an essential game like Link to the Past. Join Rich, Shawn, and Steven as they discuss their journey through Hyrule and ask the ultimate question: Is Link to the Past REALLY the best Zelda game ever?

Next, Floyd takes a gamble with a fairly obscure visual novel for the Nintendo DS. He's accompanied by Rich and EngineerMike for the discussion of 999.

We're kicking off the new year with an NES classic and what we all consider a sleeper hit on the PS3/X360. In this episode Rich shares a gaming memory that didn't end well for his bedroom window and Floyd gets lost driving down a straight road.

On the retro side Rich is joined by new co-host Steven (aka Disposed Hero) and our friend from the Collectorcast, Duke.Togo to discuss Kid Icarus. They share their memories of playing the game as kids and compare the North American release to the Famicom Disk System version. Next, Shawn surprises Floyd, Steven, and Rich with 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. We talk about this under-appreciated game for the modern segment.
