They’re probably not on the list. Can’t honestly imagine enough of us being interested in playing them but as always I will add them.

I thought of a game that may be interesting to cover. It created quite a bit of controvosy at the time, but like a lot of deliberately controversial games wasn't really much good.

Postal 2: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_2

Another I thought of was in my opinion a deeply flawed gem, and one that I loved at the time but I don't imagine it's held up very well. I remember the scope of the world was amazing to me at the time, probably the biggest game world I'd ever visited at the time, but unfortunately it was plagued by bugs....

I reviewed this game for Dutch PC Zone and couldn't remember its name for the life of me, thanks, Alex! This came out before S.T.A.L.K.E.R., didn it? That could be another interesting game to cover.

You know I was sure it was but couldn't find the episode on my podcast app! I probably even wrote in for it haha.

Too late for this year but I'd add Trackmania Turbo to the long list. It's a series with a very dedicated community. I've mainly played the criminally underrated local multilayer hotseat mode but the single player challenges are compelling too.

And the community made track are something else

A game I would really like to see covered is Valkyrie Profile. This is a gem of an RPG that came out near the end of the PlayStation's lifecycle.

I had the PSP version (Lenneth).

I’ll add it to the long list but we’ve already got our JRPG plate full in 2019!

Do tell? (Although I know you’re talking about final fantasy)

Would it be possible to add Outcast/Outcast Second Contact to the list?

Good choice. I haven’t gotten around to playing the remaster yet but loved the original. Was so ambitious.

Aliens vs Predator 2.

My favourite ever PC game. I suppose it probably makes sense to also do the original and maybe the 2010 PS3/360 kind of sequel as well.

Awesome. What about that Predator: Concrete Jungle? I think it was on the PS2. Never actually played it but I'd listen to a podcast on it.

Actually I also just thought of Aliens vs Predator: Extinction. An RTS game on the PS2/Xbox. From what I remember it was pretty slated at the time but I enjoyed it.
