This week I've got two different Star Trek games! First up, Away Team from 2001 (https://www.gog.com/en/game/star_trek_away_team), followed by Resurgence from 2024 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2653940/Star_Trek_Resurgence/). Very different games! Last but not least, I recommend the YouTube channel for Macho Nacho Productions (https://www.youtube.com/@MachoNachoProductions) for some retro hardware restoration and modification.

Episode 34 - Batman: Arkham Knight and Gotham Knights

This week I'm wrapping up my time with the Arkham games. First up, Batman: Arkham Knight (https://store.steampowered.com/app/208650/Batman_Arkham_Knight/), which looks gorgeous even a decade later. I also played Gotham Knights (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1496790/Gotham_Knights/), which is a very different game, but still enjoyable. Last but not least, I recommend Green Man Gaming (https://www.greenmangaming.com/) for some solid deals on games on a variety of platforms! As always, I'd ...

Episode 33 - Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 6 Open Beta

This week I continue playing through the Arkham games with Batman: Arkham City (https://store.steampowered.com/app/200260/Batman_Arkham_City__Game_of_the_Year_Edition/) which is a really fantastic follow-up to Arkham Asylum. I also was able to hop into the Battlefield 6 Open Beta (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2807960/Battlefield_6/) and get a preview of what that new game will look like when it releases in October. It's good! Last but not least, I recommend the 1954 Hitchcock classic Re...

Episode 32 - Batman: Arkham Asylum and Donkey Kong Bananza

This week I continue playing through the Arkham games with the first in the series - Batman: Arkham Asylum (https://store.steampowered.com/app/35140/Batman_Arkham_Asylum_Game_of_the_Year_Edition/)! This is a really great game from 15 years ago, but so is Donkey Kong Bananza (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/donkey-kong-bananza-switch-2/) which came out in July. Finally, I recommend the new Fantastic Four: First Steps movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10676052), which is a great fi...

Episode 31 - Batman: Arkham Origins and Word Play

This week I kick off my playthrough of the Arkham series with Batman: Arkham Origins (https://store.steampowered.com/app/209000/Batman_Arkham_Origins/). Not the first in the series, but first narratively, so it's a good place to start. I also enjoyed the new game from Mark Brown, Word Play (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3586660/Word_Play/). Single player Scrabble against a clock! Last but not least, I recommend the website ProtonDB (https://www.protondb.com/) for anyone looking to play g...

Episode 30 - Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and The Fallen King

This week I got a surprise and ended up playing two Prince of Persia games! First up is the solid The Lost Crown (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2751000/Prince_of_Persia_The_Lost_Crown/) followed up by the not-so-solid The Fallen King (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia:_The_Fallen_King). I also recommend the 1978 Superman movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078346) as well, if only to compare it to the new movie. Lastly, for the rest of the month of August I will be playing ...

Episode 29 - Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands and Mecha Break

This week I played a newer game in the Sands of Time trilogy, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (https://store.steampowered.com/app/33320/Prince_of_Persia_The_Forgotten_Sands/) as well as a new free to play game, Mech Break (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2452280/Mecha_BREAK/). I also recommend checking out the new Superman movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5950044), as it's pretty good. As always, I'd love to hear about your experience of these things over on X (https://x.com/Game_...

I also recommend the YouTube channel for The Background NPC (https://www.youtube.com/@thebackgroundnpc) for anyone who likes to look at game characters, especially.

Episode 27 - Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and System Shock

This week I continued playing through the Prince of Persia franchise with The Two Thrones (https://store.steampowered.com/app/13530/Prince_of_Persia_The_Two_Thrones/) as well as finally tried the remake of System Shock (https://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/System_Shock/)! I also recommend F1: The Movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16311594) this week since it might be my favorite movie of the year! If you'd like to have a conversation about any of these things or just want to tell me yo...

Episode 26 - Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Star Wars: Outlaws

This week I played two very different games from Ubisoft. First, the lackluster Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (https://store.steampowered.com/app/13500/Prince_of_Persia_Warrior_Within/) followed by the pretty solid Star Wars: Outlaws (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2842040/Star_Wars_Outlaws/). Definitely playing more Outlaws, maybe not Warrior Within! Finally I recommend the demo for the upcoming game Jump Ship (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2841820/Jump_Ship_Demo/)! As always, I'...

These are a couple of my earliest and most favorite games. I also recommend the new Mario Kart World (https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/featured-games/mario-kart-world/) which just came out with the Switch 2...

Episode 24 - Mass Effect and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

This week I played two more of my favorite games of all time, Mass Effect (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1328670/Mass_Effect_Legendary_Edition/) and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (https://store.steampowered.com/app/13600/Prince_of_Persia_The_Sands_of_Time/)! Some really great games, in some of my favorite series ever. I also recommend the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075), though that may be more for PoP fans than anyone else. Hit me up on X a...

Episode 23 - Metroid: Zero Mission and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

This week I got to play two classic games on the Switch 2! Metroid: Zero Mission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid:_Zero_Mission) and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker) are both over 20 years old, but still great games. Lastly, this week I'm recommending the new Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9603208). Pretty typical Tom Cruise action flick, but it's well done. Tell me about your exp...

This month I'm celebrating six months of the podcast by talking about some of my all-time favorite games! First up, Halo Combat Evolved (https://store.steampowered.com/app/976730/Halo_The_Master_Chief_Collection/) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (https://store.steampowered.com/app/32370/STAR_WARS_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic/).

Last but not least, I recommend the 2024 version of Ultimate Spider-Man (https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/38809/ultimate_spiderman_2024_present)! Also, in June, to celebrate six months of the podcast, I'll be playing through some of my favorite games of al...

This week I also recommend Digital Foundry (https://www.youtube.com/@DigitalFoundry) for their in-depth analysis of the technology that powers the games we love.

This week I continued to play the Oblivion remaster (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623190/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Remastered/) in a couple of different ways as well as tried out the new Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903340/Clair_Obscur_Expedition_33/). My recommendation for the week is another YouTube craftsman, Jesse Hu (https://www.youtube.com/@jhublades), who makes some very impressive blades.

Episode 17 - Baldur's Gate 3 and Oblivion Remastered

This week I played a bit more of Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) and decided maybe it's just not going to be a big deal for me. I also played the fantastic Oblivion Remastered (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623190/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Remastered/) and poured a bunch of time into it. Lastly, because it's the only way I could play the remaster, I recommend Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass). As always, ...

Episode 16 - Baldur's Gate 3 and The Bard's Tale

This week I played some more Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) as well as The Bard's Tale (https://store.steampowered.com/app/41900/The_Bards_Tale_ARPG_Remastered_and_Resnarkled/) and found that playing a bard in either game was not easy! I'm also recommending the book The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn (https://www.amazon.com/Icarus-Hunt-Novel-Timothy-Zahn/dp/0553573918) which is an old favorite of mine. As always, I'd love to have a conversation with ...
