A video game podcast with unique perspectives that doesn't just repeat received wisdom!
Great podcast with interesting discussion of games! The hosts have wildly different tastes in games, so it's interesting to hear each of their perspectives.
One of my favorite video game podcasts!
So far I’ve only listened to the ME2 review and I’ll give that episode a B+. The banter’s clever, character analysis is often fresh and thought-provoking, and they cover a heck of a lot of material.
They could do with some more disagreements because I think it would bring out more discussion about themes, allegory, etc. Also, they didn’t go over gameplay/design much.
Great job overall, though! ME3, here I come.
The kind of game discussions I crave. Get some more notes at the ready and maybe new music and this could be the Citations Needed of games podcasts.
