I first stumbled upon the Dynasty Warriors series way back in the early 2000s with Dynasty Warriors 2, a chaotic hack-n-slash title, which told the epic tale about a battle between three Chinese Kingdoms during the Han Dynasty period based on the fourteenth Century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Sadly not much has changed since I first played it. Yes, there are a few extra modes thrown in, a myriad of new characters and weapons to experiment with and an obvious graphical upgrade but despite all that it still feels very similar to the games humble beginnings. That is not entirely a bad thing as I remember really enjoying these games back when I was younger and I still enjoy them to this day. Sticking with a formula that works is something that we see a lot in the video game industry. Read more…

We say goodbye to our co-host Susie on this episode as she is moving to America for a new chapter in her life. We don’t talk much about video games in this episode as we thought it would be fitting to just record one of our rambling off-topic conversations instead. We hope you enjoy the show and we wish Susie all the best for her future! Read more…

This week the crew talked about a bunch of games including Pro Evolution Soccer 14, Titanfall, Final Fantasy X HD, Infamous Second Son’s Paper Trail DLC and Borderlands 2 coming to the Vita then they ran out of topics. This led to an impromptu google topic search, leading to intense discussion about EB Games, the Wii U and much more. The episode ends after a sad announcement from Susie, but stay tuned after the outro music for the sweary bit (profanity/laughter warning). Read more…

Five minutes after I made my character and was released into the open world of Dark Souls II I was slain by an overpowered giant ogre. A trophy popped in the top corner of the screen called ‘This is Dark Souls’. It was a friendly reminder that over the next 50-plus hours, Death and I would become fairly close friends as I would meet my demise over and over again. Read more…

South Park is definitely not for everyone. In the 17 years it has been on the air it has probably offended more people than any other TV show. Its crude humour ranges from Tom Cruise being locked in a closet and not wanting to come out to Kanye West being a gay fish and everything in between. It is a show that doesn’t pull any punches and yet still has such a following that after 17 seasons, it’s still going strong. After 4 long years in development Obsidian have delivered an excellent game that pays homage to the source material while delivering something fresh that could be considered an entire season of the show wrapped into a nice 14-hour RPG.

Matt and Lucas are holding the fort on this episode while Susie is still on holiday, and surprisingly enough Lucas has been playing some games! They discuss Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Velocity Ultra, Surge Deluxe, Move The Box, and the recent announcement of Arkham Knight. The guys then have a bit of a spoiler-filled chat about “Left Behind” the new single player DLC for The Last Of Us, but don’t worry about it catching you by surprise, there is plenty of warning before the spoilers starts. We hope you enjoy the show! Read more…
