    I don’t listen to any game takes Cog has anymore. After the hard glazing of avowed and dragon age (and more) before release. Matty seems to be honest most of the time.

  • Marty and Cog are really good

    Although the show is becoming more of a news show vs Xbox centric it’s just the nature of the beast right now since this Podcast is a Xbox now. But love listening to them weekly.

#247 | Forza Horizon 6 Is FINALLY Happening...
Q: If I were to recommend a game to try on Game Pass this week, what would it be?
You should check out Hollow Knight Silksong, which is a high-quality game that brings a challenging experience. Players may find it difficult, but they can learn to overcome its challenges and enjoy the depth of gameplay.
#225 | Oblivion Remaster Is HERE - Did It Deliver?!
Q: How do you feel about leak culture around games?

#220 | Bethesda Is Dropping Oblivion Remake NEXT MONTH?!
Q: Do you feel this announcement was a bit odd?
Yes, it was odd and lacked the usual fanfare of a major game announcement, suggesting they may have been pleasantly surprised by Space Marine 2's success and wanted to quickly inform fans about the next title.
#214 | The TRUTH On Avowed Is HERE... (We Interviewed The Director)
Q: How does Avowed handle choice and consequence?
We don't have paragon and renegade labels, but we want to make sure that we're letting you as the player define that role.

Q: What do you think this means for Nintendo and Microsoft's future relationship?
The hosts suggest that as Xbox becomes more open to multi-platform releases, it's likely to strengthen their relationship with Nintendo, allowing for more cross-promotions and brand expansions, though there are concerns about brand identity and exclusivity.
