Up And Down And All Around

We're back from a small break with a fan-favourite game from a Sony PSOne fan-favourite franchise. In the hype of the upcoming TRUE 4th instalment of the classic Crash Bandicoot series, we go back in time to the series most popular game on the system. A mini-reunion of sorts happens when my formal podcast co-host Alex Ferraro joins me on revisiting this gem of a game. Does Crash Bandicoot: Warped lives up as the best game of the series or does it deserve to be left in the past? Find out in this in-depth, loose, and spoiler-filled conversation.

On part two of this two-part special episode, Michael (cohost of Soul of a Truck: A podcast about The Killers), Alan (the GeoEchidna himself), and Natasha (best known as Natasha the Bat) comes back on the show in this roundtable conversation about SEGA and Sonic Team's swan song on SEGA hardware, Sonic Adventure 2. We get more into the treasure hunting and mech levels of the game. Maybe a little bit of the Chao Garden here and there. We get into all of that and the answer to the question, Does SA2 hold up as one of Sonic's best adventures in 2020 or it deserves all the hate it gets online? Find out in this in-depth, loose, and spoiler-filled conversation.

In this special episode, we sort of stretch the term of a platforming game to talk about this true gem of a game that came from Aperture Science Enrichment Center. (Okay, not really.) One of the crystal gems herself, Renny and I dive in on this 2007 Valve classic to see if it holds up today as one of the greatest games of the seventh generation or was it better to let it stay back in The Orange Box with GLaDOS and her piece of cake.
