Re: Games Completed 2024
The Expanse: a Telltale Series Deluxe Edition (PS5, January 6th)- Deck Nine does a prequel series featuring the Amazon series' best character- Camina Drummer, played by Cara Gee. The Expanse is a show that I liked but never loved, mainly because the two nominal leads are played by actors I find ter...

Re: Really great 'retro' collections
I hate to "um Actually" everyone but Cadillacs and Dinosaurs actually started out as a comic book called Xenozoic Tales written and drawn by Mark Schultz, which was pretty much the same as the show but had a much more serious tone as I recall.

Re: Really great 'retro' collections
I'll second the notions for Atari 50 and R are Replay . Speaking of Atari 50 , the developer's The Making of Karateka is a fascinating compilation. I'm not even much of a fan of Karateka but I picked it up because I wanted to support such endeavors. And we got some of the first games Jordan Mechner ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
I've seen it theorized that the Judgment series will continue with the Kaito character in the lead, and the DLC in Judgment is a part of that. I've been playing Judgment this month on the Series X (It was never made available for the One) to and while at first I thought it paled a bit in comparison ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (18.11.23) - 596: Norco
The operative word for how I felt after completing Norco last year, thanks to the power of Xbox GamePass, was "haunted". Kay is haunted by her mother's death, by her estrangement from her brother, by the seeming ecological and economic collapse of Norco and Louisiana. She's haunted by memo...

The Wolf Among Us (Xbox 360, 1/20) The Square Roots podcast was covering this one, so I decided to for once play along with it. I played it in its initial release in 2014, marveled in how it elided the more... problematic aspects of the comic series it served as a prequel to. Imagine, Bigby's fixat...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
Started Pentiment last night, and I'm really enjoying it. Don't have much more to say, but I'm a couple of hours in - the murder you have to solve has taken place - and I'm in the immediate aftermath of that. It's just a really good game. The writing is good, and you get a real sense of each charac...

I remember picking up Dead Space 3 on a whim, as I had gotten a bigger payout than expected on some trade ins and I was interest...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast
While the ending(s) left a bit to be desired, I found Norco to be a pretty affecting game with a well thought out story and universe, and it would be cool to hear it discussed on the podcast.

Transformers Reactivate looked pretty awesome... then I read it's an online multiplayer shooter for 1-4 players. Ummmmmm. The concept of a Transformer revived by humans to defend them from something that's NOT the Deceptions sounds cool from a story perspective. Armored Core 6 trailer looked amazin...

Citizen Sleeper certainly deserved the games with Impact award far more than As Dusk Falls did, I can tell you that much.
