Episode S10E7B: A Realm Resurrected Part 2

Episode S10E7A: A Realm Resurrected, Part 1

It's been 10 years since Final Fantasy XIV launched, its second major MMO in the flagship franchise. It wasn't without its problems, though, and opened to such dismal reviews, forcing Square Enix to shut it down and go back to the drawing board. Re-releasing as A Realm Reborn, it proved to be exactly what the game needed, and it shows no signs of stopping. Ep S10E7A

Episode S10E6: The Pack-In Game

Once upon a time, video games used to be included with a purchase of a new console, giving players an opportunity to use their systems right out of the box, which had the added bonus of driving sales and widespread early adoption.

Episode S10E5A: From Virus to Plagas (Part 1)

It is without question that Resident Evil 4 marked a drastic change for the franchise, dropping its formula of puzzle solving, conserving ammo, and Raccoon City, shedding many of its own created survival horror tropes. Fifteen years later, we take a look back and revisit this divisive game. Turns out we had a lot to say, so here is Part 1. Ep S10E5A

Episode S10E4: Free Play

On the first Free Play episode of Season 10, we cover a lot of ground--games we're playing, games we have a love/hate relationship with, games we'd love to see get a full-on remake, and plenty more. Dive in and enjoy! Ep S10E4

Episode S10E3: The Beauty of the Pixels

There are many nuances and facets of video games that are open to constant debate. On this episode, however, we put aside debates and focus on a single one: graphics. We go through the generations of consoles and come up with our own personal lists of purely beautiful games. Ep S10E3

Episode S10E2: The PS2 Isn't A Teen Anymore

Twenty years ago, the Playstation 2 was released, boasting full backwards compatibility with the entire PS1 library, and a DVD player to boot, marking the first major console to make a serious push at being a multi-functional entertainment center. It left its competition in the dust to become the top-selling console of all time. On this episode, we look back with fond nostalgia at some of our favorite games for this beloved system. Ep S10E2
