81 – Pizza Orgy
Jason Arriola is joined by John Lucero for some Destiny 2 (someone’s gotta do the shooter heavy lifting around here) and Franky Ordaz for No Man’s Sky talks. Brother, can you spare some ports? How about L.A. Noire, Okami, Vanquish, both Shenmue games, and Bayonetta? The Switch hits 1.5 million in sales in Japan and Stephen King used to be really fucking […]
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Microsoft Windows Certain games come along at the right time in life and click with you when they may otherwise not have.

80 – Why Is She Lachrymose?
Jason Arriola might be head over heels for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and John Lucero is a bit apathetic about the Gundam Versus beta. New Borderlands game might be in the works, new Nightmare Creatures game is definitely in the works, Wii U getting another nail in the coffin, Puzzle Fighter on mobile, Resident Evil 7‘s getting its DLC wrapped […]
Observer Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, Windows, and Xbox One (reviewed) Observer is a sci-fi horror game that takes inspiration from Bloober Team’s previous effort, Layers of Fear, and adds in the dirty, futuristic feel of Blade Runner.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed) and Windows Video games have generally not been the most nuanced vehicles for expressing the effects of mental illness and that’s what makes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice so much more impressive. Developer Ninja Theory combined it’s knack for cinematic presentaion with a very taboo topic to create an unforgettable, if flawed, game. […]
GAJ Game Night – Valkyria Revolution and The Long Dark
First up, we were trying to play the Final Fantasy XV multiplayer beta, but some server issues killed that idea. We ended up going with Valkyria Revolution, a Musou game that has you mashing on buttons to skip the cutscenes more than actually attacking. A couple of days later, we decided to check out the The Long Dark. […]
Save the Ninja Clan Review
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One If you’ve never heard of Save the Ninja Clan, then we’re in the same boat. I only decided to buy it on a whim after watching the trailer because of its $2.99 price tag and obvious Super Meat Boy influence. Little did I know that […]
