Now with the latest game in the series, developer MercurySteam has decided that it’s time for a change. They have returned to complete their Lords of Shadow series with the first ever Castlevania game to have you play as the Prince of Darkness himself, and not only that, it’s also the first to be set in modern times.

In the last couple of years of the PS3 and Xbox 360, for better or worse, HD remakes were storming the gaming marketplace. It wasn’t the biggest leap of the imagination to think that the same trend would continue on in the new generation of systems, and lo and behold it has.

It’s the first Drop Bear Gaming podcast episode of 2014 and it is also the Susie birthday episode! The show begins with some friendly catching up, then Matt breaks down why he thinks Knack is one of the most under-rated games on the new generation of consoles. What follows is perhaps one of the biggest arguments we have had on the show so far when the topic of Sony’s new gaming streaming service PlayStation Now is brought up. Have a listen, pick a side, and then let us know what you think in the comments below. Read more…

The subject of video games as an art has been debated since the late 1980’s, and it has been picking up steam over the past ten years. French developer Quantic Dream have positioned themselves firmly on one side of the debate, with their games Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain being largely considered “interactive films”. It is in that vein that they have brought us their next title – Beyond: Two Souls. Read more…

After horrendous audio issues with the first recording of this episode Susie and Matt decided to trash it and record a fresh new episode to replace it! On this episode they go into detail discussing Battlefield 4, Batman: Arkham Origins, Call Of Duty: Ghosts, and Beyond: Two Souls, as well as a large amount of sidetracked conversation about movies. We close out the show answering a listener question which was “What are our favourite style of games”. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Read more…
