Weekly Games Chat

Hello! Thanks for downloading the show! This week was about Sons of the Forest, a sequel to The Forest. While Chris gave his review, he pointed out very - weird in game moments that def would have Shaun's skin crawling. Example, as he was building his base and fence... a man, would just sit and watch him. Not just any "normal" man - nope it was a cannibal. This game also has Feral Humans. How creepy! If you own a PC with Steam - you probably know this was/is a big title right now - so we hope you enjoy the things Chris had to say.  As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things.  For EMAILS - please send to [email protected], if you want. Chances are, we will read it LIVE! So, next time,  join us  on Twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. - we record on the Tuesday prior to Wednesday's release. We will probably be starting  around 5:45 or 6:00 pm E.S.T.  - just search "weeklygameschat"  from wherever you have twitch. Lastly -  GAME ON everyone!!!!

Hello! We thank you for downloading the show this week. Shaun was giddy to cover the brand new PSVR2 system - that arrived on launch day thanks to the folks from Sony and PlayStation.  In addition to talking about the unit itself, he also went into to some in-game type experiences. Noted was the presence of a potential to use the tech like eye-tracking in other PSVR2 games.  Last week we talked about the success of Hogwart's Legacy - well it has now sold over 12 million units in about 2 weeks. Impressive. Speaking of impressive...As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things.

Hello! First - we hope you had a very Happy Valentine's day. We delayed the recording of this week so the likes of Shaun could celebrate the day with his wife...HIS WIIIIIIFE. All three of the boys are here this week - so yay! The topic was awesome - and came via a rare Nintendo "shadow drop" - Metroid Prime - remaster. Jon gave it the highest of praises and proclaimed that we all should play it, in fact asked us all to. Can you guess what "Richard" he gave it? Check out the Nintendo Direct that announced it for it and to see the new Zelda trailer - it was hype.  Last week we said "#Eagles or #Chiefs We'll know by our next recording who won." …well we do! Congrats to the Chiefs Nation!  Next time,  oin us live on Twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. - we record on the Tuesday prior to Wednesday's release. We usually start around 5:30 pm E.S.T.

Well, right out the gate, let's just spill the beans, Jon's not here today -  he took PTO. NO WORRIES! Calm Down! Chris and Shaun are here to cover a once shadow-dropped game that is pretty awesome. What game? Oh  that game is: Hi-Fi Rush. Released on Xbox and Steam/Windows, this game caught fire. Amazing reviews and comments popped up everywhere once people got their hands on it and for good reason. Labeled as a "rhythm game"  - sure it's that - but more as well. Beautiful aesthetics, a banging soundtrack and all in all, a really good time.  Chris mentioned it's a game that doesn't "overstay it's welcome" . What he means it's a perfect balance of length, gameplay and you have a fun time while playing it.  Speaking of playing - Shaun recommends playing with headphones on, and turn it up. It's the week of the "Big Game" in the NFL - who ya got? #Eagles or #Chiefs We'll know by our next recording who won. Until then...reminder for next show:  join us live on Twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. - we record on the Tuesday prior to Wednesday's release. We usually start around 5:30 pm E.S.T.
