Show Notes
Sony ran an all-timer of a State of Play last week, so we spend a bunch of time digging into a bunch of news and demos about God of War Trilogy Remake, Control Resonant, and Konami's impressive bundle of Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games. Also, games like God of War: Sons of Sparta, Menace, Heart of the Forest, and Avowed on PS5. Also, Vinny's questionable encounter at the Outback Steakhouse. Sounds like a podcast, alright! CHAPTERS

It's time to podcast about video games and the people who love them once again, this week touching on more time with Control Resonant, End of Abyss, and playing American Truck Simulator in (gasp) something other than a truck. Also, Xbox swears Xbox isn't for sale, more Last of Us may be coming in some form, we unpack the essential qualities of a good Metroidvania, and more. CHAPTERS
Seems it's never a dull week in video games these days, as Xbox initiates a big reorganization (Activision's Halo? Obsidian at Bethesda?) with yet more layoffs, Bungie resurrects Destiny 2 after only three months, Control Resonant is finally here, and of course, the news nobody else will bring you: there's a new release of Sin. Join us as we talk about all of it! CHAPTERS
