Hoss and I played a little CyberShadow and it got us thinking about Contra. The original classic NES Contra. But were there any other good Contra games in the franchise? Let's give it a talk and see if Contra, as a franchise, is any good and worth coming back since Konami is coming back into the market.

STADIA lasted from launch to end of service a total of 15 months. The hype for Google's cloud based gaming service was pretty big for a year or two prior. Was it a good idea that failed to live up to expectations or was it a business model that just didn't have legs to start with? Let's talk about it this week!

Red Dead Redemption 2 is still in everyone's minds and if the player base has anything to say it's still one of the most popular games on the planet. So Hoss thought it might be good to go back and check out Red Dead Redemption the FIRST. A game he never got to finish. He highlights his reasons as to why the game turned him off. And why he feels he was wrong to judge it so. It's time for a Red Dead Retrospective!

The year is over and that means it's time to wrap it in plastic and throw it in a river! But before we do that we are gonna hand out our 2020 awards. Wondering what the best looking game was?

Def Jam Vendetta is a weird game and a microcosm of it's time. Gangster Rap and Hip Hop was at a real high end and EVERYONE was watching wrestling. So what better way to capitalize on it than to have a bunch of Def Jam rappers fighting in a wrestling ring! Let's take a look at Def Jam Vendetta this week on Videodestruct.
