VideoDestruct Podcast

Today, off heels of Hoss beating Megaman 11, Brandon goes on and on about one of his favorite game franchises of all time and possibly his favorite game EVER... Megaman 2! It's the Blue Bombers second outing and a classic to be sure but is it nostalgia or real quality that holds this game on a pedestal?

This week Hoss and Brandon discuss what they’ve played in the past month such as: Call of Duty, Yokus Island Express, Steam World Dig 2, Forza Horizon 4, Megaman 11, Shadow of the Tombraider, and Super Mario Party!

We also discuss:

* Playstation crossplay announcement

* Shenmu 1 & 2 Remake?

* Red Dead Redemption

* Hitman and Hitman 2

* Master Chief Collection Online Play

Probably the most iconic RPG in the history of Video Games, Final Fantasy VII has it’s share of supporters, critics and lore all to it’s own. But something that’s not covered to often is the amount of diversions, mini-games and distractions in the game that pad the game time and spawned even MORE games in the years to come after.

We Also Discuss:

* PS4 Spiderman

* DragonQuest 11

We are back! The VD Podcast has returned and we are talking about all the things we played over our little break and giving special attention to Dead Cells! Is it the best Rogue-like/Metroidvania game of all time? Find out by giving a listen!

This week Hoss wanted to talk about his favorite and maybe the greatest hand-held system of all time, the Game Boy Advance! We also talk about it's predecessors and competitors and why it has one of the best mobile gaming platform libraries. It's time!

This year's E3 hit with a bit of a thud thanks to a giant spoiler document leaked by Walmart Canada's website highlighting a few surprise announcements as being on the shipping schedule for future commerce. But that doesn't mean we can't talk about all the cool stuff that came out of the big three companies. So let's get started!

Time for a Beat-Em-Up! One of Brandon's all time favorite games from his childhood Streets of Rage 2 and arguably the best Beat-Em-Up games of all time right up there with Final Fight and Turtles in Time. Let's hit the streets and talk about Streets of Rage 2

Hoss and Brandon head back into the Xbox 360 era and talk about the big "kill a bunch of zombies" craze that started with Inafune's Dead Rising. Joining Frank West (he's covered wars ya know?) and a bunch of wacky weaponry in a mall, we talk about the strange window into Americana from a Japanese writing staff. Also Brandon isn't paying very good attention today!

We cap off an accidental trilogy of Racing Games this week with the Micro Machines series of games. Not the most popular racing game but certainly a unique take and a staple in the genre since the near start of the industry boom. Sadly the fast talking guy never showed up in the games like in the commercials.

After a technical issue we are BACK with a new episode about the Wipeout series. A fast and furious racing series that has been on the periphery of racing mainstays for a while. Well today we celebrate the history of this series and it's standing in the racing game world.
