Lucas & Matt were joined once again by Karl (aka The Lyrical) from the Game Train Podcast for this episode to discuss the new Detroit: Become Human demo and of course the new massive exclusive for PlayStation – God Of War. This episode is a little long since the guys got a bit carried away about how much they enjoyed God Of War so grab a nice warm drink, make sure you are comfortable, relax, and enjoy the show.
Feel free to let us know if you have any thoughts about either Detroit Become Human or God Of War via email or in the comments below. Read more…
An excellent sequel which improves upon the flaws from the original. A new co-op mode adds another layer to the game, and extra challenge modes add a bit of fun replayability. A really fun game and great for small kids.
Space exploration shooter which has similarities to No Man's Sky but with clunky gameplay and a lack of polish. Lots of content to explore but it gets repetitive quickly. A little interesting but ultimately underwhelming.
Matt and Lucas return for another podcast episode, although this one starts out a little more like Drop Bear Movies rather than Drop Bear Gaming. The guys discuss some recent video game related movies then move on to review of the co-op game A Way Out and a huge review of Far Cry 5. We hope you enjoy the show 🙂 Read more…
We are back with another episode of the DBG Podcast and although Matt didn’t set up the recording equipment correctly it’s still a good show! Matt drops his review for the new JRPG Ni No Kuni 2, Lucas shares his thoughts on Immortal Redneck, and much more. Please enjoy the show, despite the poor audio quality which we give 2 drop bears out of 5. Read more…
Another episode of the Drop Bear Gaming podcast is here! Yay! I’m sorry to say this episode is NOT a prime number, however it does have some PRIME games mentioned on it. Lucas has of course been continuing his career as a professional baller on NBA2K18, while Matt continued his regular job of playing as many games as possible. On this episode Matt shared his thoughts about the new 80s-themed action adventure game Crossing Souls (including a song from the soundtrack with thanks to the creator of the games soundtrack TimeCop1983), Wulverblade, EA Sports UFC 3, and the new Civilization VI DLC Rise & Fall. The guys also discuss the announced changes to the PS Plus subscription, the dismal life of the Vita compared to the exciting life of the Switch on the back of the birthdays of both systems, and much much more! We hope you enjoy the show 🙂 Read more…
The guys are back after a nice long Christmas (and the entirety of January) break and they have played some games!! They are also excited about new games in 2018 and so they decided to discuss some of them on this short episode. Enjoy the show! Read more…
It’s here! It’s the final DBG podcast episode for 2017, and it is of course the Game Of The Year special! Matt and Lucas were joined by a special guest on this episode, the one and only Karl from the Game Train podcast (aka The Lyrical) to share his picks for the year and to treat us with a song performance. The guys continued the DBG tradition of discussing each of their three favourite games of the year, as well as their biggest disappointments and some honourable mentions which just missed out. We hope you enjoy the show and wish you all the best for the new year! Read more…
Matt and Lucas are back with the second last episode for 2017! To start the show they reflect upon the turn of events in the industry following the discussion of micro transactions on the last episode, which I’m sure we can all agree played a major part in getting the loot box discussion happening around the world (Hi to our listeners in the Belgian government!).
Next up Matt shares his thoughts on South Park: The Fractured But Whole and some PlayLink games, Lucas shares his review of NBA2K18, then Matt follows up with reviews of Ben 10, LA Noire remastered, and Need For Speed Payback. Enjoy the show and look out for our GOTY episode coming up later this month! Read more…
It’s the busiest time of year for gamers, so many games but such little time. On this episode of the podcast Lucas and Matt share their thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Origins, Wolfenstein 2, Gran Turismo Sport and more. They also have a chat about micro-transactions given their prevalence in games at the moment which leads to a classic Matt rant. Enjoy! Read more…
So many games and so little time! The guys are back once again and they have pile of games to review including Knack 2, Project Cars 2, Morphite, Pinball FX 3, Everybody’s Golf, and of course more discussion about Destiny 2. Lucas and Matt also had the pleasure of going to EB Expo after it’s prodigal son return to the Gold Coast for the first time since it’s inaugural show in 2011. They share their thoughts on the event as well as inevitable comparisons to PAX Aus. We hope you enjoy the show! Read more…
Destiny has returned, at it is just as addictive as always. Join Matt and Lucas as they share their thoughts on Destiny 2, as well as Knack 2 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. If you are playing Destiny 2 on PS4 don’t forget to join the Drop Bear Gaming clan so you can play with us! Enjoy the show! Read more…
An excellent sequel which improves upon the flaws from the original. A new co-op mode adds another layer to the game, and extra challenge modes add a bit of fun replayability. A really fun game and great for small kids.
Space exploration shooter which has similarities to No Man's Sky but with clunky gameplay and a lack of polish. Lots of content to explore but it gets repetitive quickly. A little interesting but ultimately underwhelming.
Another great entry in the Pinball FX series. The new online tournament system adds an entire new level to pinball video games while new "special abilities" and challenges add a huge amount of gameplay to freshen up the genre and keep gamers busy.
Fast-paced ultra-violent twin-stick shooter with a gritty dark cyberpunk/sci-fi visual style and an atmospheric soundtrack. All of the gameplay elements work well enough but the campaign is disappointingly short with repetitive level design.
Hits the usual beats of an Uncharted game which while not new, are still great to experience. The dialogue between Chloe and Nadine and the story overall was really well written. Naughty Dog have proven that they can make a solid Uncharted game without Nathan Drake.
Despite having so many similarities to Destiny 1 this game has enough new features to entice old players to get on board. It's definitely just as fun as the original and a great multiplayer experience to enjoy with friends.
Super salesman by day, Batdad and Gamersutra by night. As a self-confessed technology pacifist, he prefers to sit on the console-war fence and play games on his PC.
