Matt and Lucas are back again, this time discussing Just Cause 3, Matterfall, and the pros and cons of Games With Gold and PlayStation Plus. The guys also share their thoughts on Gamescom 2017. Read more…

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles (PS4)
Beautiful and relaxing game for all ages. An open-world adventure game without combat but with plenty to explore and do. Quite a slow plodding game but that suits it's nature to a tee.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (PS4)
A great remaster of a classic platforming game in a time where good platformers are few and far between. We wish it came with Crash Team Racing as well but getting to replay the original trilogy is a real treat.

Episode 108 – Horizon Recon Wilddawn
Duration: 01:00:09 • Size: 27.55 MB

The Nintendo Switch, Horizon Zero Dawn and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands are the order of the day for this episode. Matt and Lucas have been pumping some hours into those games while Lucas had a chance to try out the Nintendo Switch.

The guys have changed things up a little bit for this episode by using a microphone between them instead of their usual way of doing things. Hopefully that means better audio quality and a more natural conversation, but how about you tell us what you think of it either in the comments below, on Facebook, or by emailing us! We hope you enjoy the show. Read more…

Episode 105 – The Old Switcheroonie
Duration: 00:23:34 • Size: 16.19 MB

It’s the start of something new around here! Not everyone likes long-form podcasts, so to change things up a little bit we have decided to start doing shorter length episodes whenever something comes up which piques our interests. Luckily something has happened just in time for us to try it out: the Nintendo Switch press conference.

On this shorter length episode Lucas and Matt discuss their thoughts on the “Switch” including the release date, pricing, some of the features of the system, and of course the launch lineup. We will continue to do our longer episodes of the show, but we thought a few shorter ones here and there might help us increase our output and hopefully attract some new listeners. Let us know what you think about the episode, the Nintendo Switch, or anything else you’d like to tell us in the comments below or by emailing us at podcast@dropbeargaming.com

Enjoy the show! Read more…

Masquerada: Songs and Shadow (PS4)
An intriguing story with well written characters, smooth isometric visuals, and a very well built world. Tactical RPG although the gameplay mechanics aren't great and it's pretty linear. At only 20 hours long though it's definitely worth it to experience the story.
Mass Effect: Andromeda (PS4)
A new Mass Effect entry without Commander Shepherd was a risky move but it turned out okay after all. With many similarities to the original trilogy this game is a must play for fans of the series.

Lucas
The Podfather/Convo Controller
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.
Matt
PlayStation Fanboy/Motormouth
Electrician by trade and yet also highly skilled at finding time to game around work and family commitments. A PlayStation fanboy with a platinum count and obvious podcast bias to prove it. Thinks DC is clearly superior to Marvel. Has been known to rant.
