Video Game Podcast for Adult Gamers | The Andy Bee Show

Marathon's Cryo Archive finally opened its doors and we have fresh thoughts on what it all means - are we actually alive, or are our Runners dreaming in Cryo? Nvidia's DLSS 5 reveal has us calling out Digital Foundry for missing their spine - we're here to help them find it. Crimson Desert launched to strong-but-divisive reviews and yes, you CAN drift the horse. We have proof.

Starfield is coming to PS5 on April 7, Saros is showing off PS5 features, we cover the latest Xbox Game Pass additions, a PS Portal update, the Playstack publishing success story, and the latest in Game Awards game-theory from a self-professed "Game Awards sicko".

This week on The Andy Bee Show, we share why the PlayStation Portal is a reasonable way to play Marathon in an airport, get specc’ed out with Crimson Desert, learn that Ball x Pit is on mobile as a free to try game, put Fortnite on child support (or life support?), and dig deep on how Arc Raiders finally got out the door. Oh, and we reminisce about the future past with the upcoming REPLACED. This, plus more indie games you’ve never heard of but will probably wishlist after this show. Enjoy!

In a world of confusion, people want one thing more than any other: clarity. And Marathon is here to make one thing clear - this is a PVP game. We’ll compare and contrast the two big things that separate Marathon from Arc Raiders, cover Sony and Microsoft’s proposed (and rumored!) business decisions that affect how you play, and dive deeper into the games of March.

Pokemon has a new game, Unicorn Overlord gets some airtime, and your emails are back in full force for another week of The Andy Bee Show, a video game podcast for grown-ups and adults!

A game as large as Crimson Desert shouldn’t be sneaking up on anyone, and yet here we are, a month from release and a ton to learn. Is this the Grand Theft Auto of Zelda games? The Red Dead Redemption of God of War games? It’s big, it’s ambitious, and we can only hope it’s good.

Also, we cover the latest gaming news with PlayStation shutting down their Bluepoint studio, Microsoft installing an AI CEO after Phil Spencer retires, and whether Unicorn Overload is the tactical RPG we’ve been waiting for. And, for the first time ever, your emails! Let’s go!

On a random Thursday, Sony decided it would shake up the video game world with an E3-level State of Play. We are covering all the game announcements that matter, focusing on the games we are most looking forward to. That means Star Wars Galactic Racer, the new God of War game, Saros, and the insane cock-fighting (literally it’s a big chicken protagonist) Project Windless.

Plus: updates on Carmageddon Rogue Shift, Arc Raiders, Pragmata, Helldivers 2, and whether “gamer culture” is to blame for the Highguard studio’s layoffs. Let’s go!
