Weekly Games Chat

Jon's out this week right, and Chris and Shaun swore the episode might be the shortest ever. The opposite happened. It turned out to be one of the longer episodes. In part due to an exquisite review of not only the newly released DLC for Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course - but also something magical. Quite possibly the best set of emails ever written to the show. It was not one, but the collective bunch. For now, Chris replayed Cuphead from the beginning. All in all - including the DLC,...

In this week's episode - the boys take on a game that a mere day ago - Shaun didn't even know what the F*#k it was. As it turns out, it's quite the little point and click title. Jon was the main person with knowledge, as he put the most time in stabbing and death trapping people down to the chamber of meat grindness. Wait, what??? Did you just read that right?? Yes. Set in a very overcooked/cooking mama vs Sweeny Todd vibe - this game is about keeping a business alive doing what you just...

In this week's episode - well, we noted it was the shortest episode in some time. That's right, we clocked in right around one and a half hours. Partly due to the game -but not in a bad way. Chris really liked it and admitted to the nostalgia of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge...the good and the bad parts of said nostalgia. Was there sufficient tubular-ness, cowabunga's - galore, pizza??? I'm pretty sure the answer is YES! Jon did miss part of this show due to a power outage - it was good to see...

This week it's all about tactical shooting and espionage and what not. In the game Sniper Elite 5 - you are dubbed "the shadow". However, during this weeks recording we learned Jon is more like the EFFING SUNSHINE when he plays. This is the 5th installment of the main Sniper Elite series per the title, coming directly after Sniper Elite 4 but it's still around the time frame of the event in Sniper Elite 2. This takes place in France, or as Shaun said it 'Franch". This was quickly picked up...

Topic - This week - the boys opened up a lengthy discussion on the event that was Xbox & Bethesda's 2022 Showcase. There some really good things and there maybe was some things we collectively didn't care about per se. What we did get, was our first extensive look into the new Bethesda IP - Starfield. Super cool to finally see it...like see it. Now, we may not get this game until the tail end of 2023...but at lease we've seeeeeen it. For those who stopped by the stream (we had some first...

This week we explored the even that was Sony's State of Play that streamed on 5/31/22. We pretty much agreed it was a good event, not historic OR bad...but good. Jon's highlight was Resident Evil 4 being remade with a release date! For Shaun, he was happy for all the confirmed PSVR 2 games - but wanted a release date/pricing....something! For Chris, his highlight the Final Fantasy 16 trailer. Coming next week we get potentially more big news hopefully with Summer Games Fest 2022 and Xbox's...

This week we learned about how scary ghosts in Japan are ANNNNNND how much fun Jon had/is having playing Ghostwire: Tokyo. Currently a PS5/PC exclusive - we learned about how scary of a vibe this game gives...maybe eerie is better. Either way...it's right up Jon's wheelhouse. A great point brought up by Chris, this COULD BE Bethesda's last new game on a PlayStation platform for sometime, maybe even ever. Speaking of ever, have you...yes YOU ever stopped by and watched the show live on...

This week it's a well oiled 2-Man podcast, we've fired Jon. Kidding, he's on a business trip - boooo! No worries, Chris and Shaun got you, fam! We discussed the current cycle of delays....whats been impacted, why? Is there and end in sight? Good news and bad news on that. First - yes...there are SOME games with confirmed release dates. So unless WWIII breaks out (remember when we could say that and it wasn't a like "could happen" type thing?) - we will have some games. We won't have...

This week is all about a Samurai game that Chris and Shaun played via Xbox's Game Pass - and that game is Trek to Yomi. A 2D side scroller type game that is visually stunning and takes you into the world of the main character Hiroki. Set in the Edo Period - it literally feels like you are playing a movie at times - but that play thing is somewhat clunky if we're being honest. That's right - it's not perfect. How different did Shaun and Chris rate this? Jon , oh he played Breath of the Wild...

This week the boys watched and discussed a new show on Paramount +... and the reason they did so is because of the one and only Master Chief. Does it live up to our expectations? Do we like the music? The story? Despite it's praises, there is a grunt or two we have. As a matter of fact, there is something apparently we all kind of DON'T like about it. #helmet An additional apparently - I also misspelled Jon's name last week in these notes. Hilarious. Next time, if you haven't done so before...

Episode 354 - Lego Game time!!! The Skywalker Sage to be exact! John and Shaun dive into THE saga. Skywalker. It had been a while insert singing since John or Shaun had been here to this familiar place of Lego-ness. We did NOT have a bad feeling about this. While not being the best game ever - it is safe to say this is THE best Lego Star Wars game of all time. If you are a fan of Star Wars - you need this game. Have fun, be a kid again. May the Force Be With You. Next time catch our show...

Episode 353 - It's Moss 2 week - which means Shaun's excited! Chris and Jon - wellll...#jokes. Shaun contemplates whether this will be the final PSVR game he reviews (there will be Meta Quest and PSVR 2 games), so don't worry all you VR fans! The original Moss was Shaun's first VR game, ever. It was the sole reason of wanting to own a VR. Moss: Book II - may be the best game he's ever played in both VR and "normal". There's just something about the way Polyarch is able to capture little...

Episode 352!! Another week, but a rarity occurs! All 3 of us played a new Kirby game on the Nintendo Switch - Kirby and the Forgotten Land! A brand new adventure in the long line of Kirby games, we all think this may be the cream of the crop and a lot to suck in... all while having a blast. That's right, no "Mouthful Mode" jokes here. Speaking of Mouthful mode - I mean...he can suck up a car! How cool?! For those that tuned in to us on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat and watched us live - thank...

Episode 351! Another Tuesday and another fantastic game! This week it's Tiny Tina's Wonderland. A refreshing, but not necessarily groundbreaking game originated from the world of Borderlands. All in all, spending about 2 days or "72 hours" into it - Chris discussed the many reasons he enjoyed this game, and a few reason maybe he didn't. Shout out to the listeners for a fantastic EMAILS! section this week. Next time catch us live on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat and hit that follow button. GAME...

Episode 350!!! Yoooo pop the champagne! Wooo Hooo! This week we cover a precious indie game - Tunic! We first saw this game we think - around 2017. At that point we were excited about a possible "Zelda" game with a fox. Little did we know that it would be years later before we'd get a full game. And yes, there are Zelda vibes...but also some Souls as well. The game is fun, challenging and has a wicked good soundtrack. Put on your headphones and enjoy! Next time - join us record LIVE on...

Episode 349! Whew - that's close to #350 - hard to believe. Thanks for all the love you show us! This week - Jon tackles another strategy game. This time Triangle Strategy on his Nintendo Switch - OLED of course. Its weird but awesome to know Jon has now played 3 or 4 strategy games - and mainly due to this fine program. We once again send thoughts and prayers to the people of Ukraine and for a resolution of the war going on. Please join us next time we record the show LIVE on...

Episode 348! Hello! Good to see you again - thanks for downloading! This week the boys discuss a very successful New (ish) MMORPG - titled Lost Ark. You might be thinking - this game has been out for a while. You're not wrong. Originally releasing in 2019 - the game recently came to the states and released this year. When you get a chance to play and subsequently cover a game like this - you gotta do it! At it's peak - Lost Ark had 1.3 million concurrent players - astounding!!! If you missed...

Episode 347! This is the one. It's quite possible this episode, right now in March, is the one where we can look back and saw wow....we were there. There when Chris got to talk about Elden Ring and it was already his GOTY. It was the one where Shaun enjoyed a From Software game and was still playing it. It was the successor to Jon beating Sekiro. We streamed live like we always do for the show on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. Next time - come hang, hit the follow button and chat with us! Game...

Episode 346! Ahhhh...a new month - it's March! We made it to March of 2022 ladies and gentleman - how cool is that?! We have a lot to look forward to - from games to movies...all the things. This week we discuss Guerilla Game's latest entry - Horizon Forbidden West. Good news for the show - Shaun did not wait years to finally play it. Bad news for the show, the game came out one week before another big open world game and on the heels of one prior....Elden Ring and Dying Light 2. But that's...
