<p>And we're back! Thanks for bearing with us while we got out lives together for a couple weeks - we made our grand re-entrance with a look at some of the least-anticipated games of this year or any other. There's been...

<p>UFO 50 finally released after having been in development for ages, and its one of the most low-key ambitious games I've played. It's extremely cool, as you'll hear me say no less than a dozen times in this...

<p>Ooooooooohhh Elden Ring. In the leadup to Shadow of the Erdtree, we decided to look back at every game in the Soulsborne series (and rank them from "worst" to best. It gets pretty contentious at times - this is like...

<p>Katana Zero!? This week, we talk about the rumors about a totally speculative new Doom game that definitely hasn't been revealed since we recorded, we talk about Project Zomboid and the concept of "forever games,"...
