Throwdown Show

This week saw the launch of Horizon Zero Dawn. Unlike a lot of new AAA console exclusive IPs this generation, Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't disappoint in any way. We on Throwdown (along with our special guests) have played the game. On this episode, we give our impressions of Horizon Zero Dawn and what we think this game means for the generation and for Guerrilla Games.

Other topics we discuss:

- Is Xbox Game Pass better than PlayStation Now?

- Nier Automata lets players buy trophies with in-game currency

- Our final pre-launch thoughts of the Nintendo Switch

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez (co-host), Chris Sealy, Brett Murdock, Carlos Romero, Brian Munjoma, Adam Vale, and guests: Eddie Alverson, Jaleesa Foster, and John Hartsfield.

The review embargo for Horizon Zero Dawn lifted this past Monday. As you would expect, the game got mostly positive reviews from a number of outlets. Not surprisingly, there was severe backlash from the zealous members of the Xbox community. Like they did when Uncharted 4 was universally praised, the hardcore "Xbots" were outraged that -- because of "media bias" -- another Sony exclusive received high scores. We dedicate our main topic to putting these foolish man-children on blast.

Almost forgotten over the crazed fanboy din was the fact that Halo Wars 2 was released on Tuesday. Since Xbox fanatics were too busy hating on a Sony game rather than praise one of their exclusives, we decided to have our good friend, Richard Bailey Jr., come on the show to tell us all about this RTS sequel.

Other topics we cover:

- Phil Spencer says Xbox One represents the "best Xbox gen"

- Sunset Overdrive could continue outside of Microsoft, says Insomniac

- Crash Bandicot N-sane Trilogy might be a timed PlayStation exclusive

- An Nvidia vs AMD argument ends in murder
