April 07, 2016Episode 125: Portal / Portal 2
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross open up a door to the elemental plane of praise for Portal and Portal 2.
Last year, with Super Metroid at episode 100, we decided to try doing a "perfect" game once a year. Portal and Portal 2 are both obvious choices for such high praise. They still feel recent, but almost a decade after Portal hit the scene in The Orange Box we're still feeling the effects of its sheer economy of play, and utter wit in storytelling. And no matter what anyone tells you, Portal 2 is a worthy heir.

March 24, 2016Episode 124: Silent Hill 3
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross ooze affection for Silent Hill 3.
A teenage girl is in trouble. The world is warping around her, and strange people are saying that she's destined to birth Paradise. That's the setup to Silent Hill 3, one of the scariest and most upsetting games in existence. The story has problems, but for atmosphere and dread it has almost no rival.
If you haven't played the original Silent Hill, don't worry: We go out of our way to provide all of the context you need to understand what's going on here. Enjoy!

February 25, 2016Episode 122: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross excoriate Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
This episode isn't for the faint of heart... What started out as a well-intentioned desire to talk about a beloved action-adventure game turned into a hit piece against an entire era and genre of games. But we cite our sources, and go to great pains to remind you: Just because we don't like this game doesn't mean we don't like you.

February 11, 2016Episode 121: Sanitarium
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross commit to talking about Sanitarium.
You wake up with no face, no memories, and no name. You're surrounded by people banging their heads against walls, talking about mechanical bugs and Aztec prophecies. Diagnosis? Crazy. This horror-themed adventure game is an odd duck because it's played from a bird's-eye perspective... but does it ever quite get off the ground?
