Reviews
- Smartest Criticism
Love the pod. Probably the most elevated discussion of video games out there. A little Star Wars fanboyish, but all is forgiven. Can’t recommend highly enough, especially if you love games and feel like half of all AAA game reviews were written by a PR department.

While these guys have some interesting thoughts on games and movies, they consistently fail to research or recall basic facts about plots/pronunciation of names, creating an overall frustrating experience
Update: Updating score as I do enjoy listening to these guys despite my criticism, may have been harsh on the score.
And there are absolutely Abstergo references in AC:Origins, for the record.
Apple Podcasts3ChewiMashUnited States8 years ago - Actual journalism for a maligned art
Excellent hosts who are funny and (mostly) mature. This is how you can find the cream of the crop of video games, whether for artistic merit or just good old-fashioned fun. Also good about bringing in diverse game developer, designer, and journalist experts from female, minority, and gay voices.

This is a really crappy show
They just play a few hours of a game and comment on it, without going any further and looking and thinking about what they saw and played
Like discussing the cover of a book!
Apple Podcasts2KhashayarJanUnited States9 years ago - Thoughtful, critical video game reviews
It's great to have a podcast that breaks down little parts of games how players do. It's OK to critique parts of games that you otherwise enjoy and I think that's rare from games outlets. I want to know what you liked and didn't like from a game and it's OK to recommend a game that has parts that were annoying or tedious. Given the background of the two hosts, it has more maturity than many other video game podcasts.
(Also, I got stuck on the same exact part with the tracks in Gorogoa. Thanks f... more
