    Episode 290: The End

    All good things must come to an end. We began this journey in 2019 with a deep passion for Halo. The success and love of everyone who listened, contributed and supported us took us further than we ever could have imagined. There's been highs and lows, but when it comes to this endeavor as a whole that is Sacred Icon, it's one big high. We love you all and hope this one and final JUICY episode serves the podcast and its legacy well. Keep it Sacred, friends.

    Episode 289: Silent Hill 2

    Spoilers for both the original and the remake of Silent Hill 2 abound. What makes this particular franchise stand out in a way its horror peers cannot? It's only fitting we dive into the psyche of game that excels in doing just that itself.

    Episode 288: PlayStation 5

    It's been almost five full years since the PlayStation 5 hit the market. There has been highs and lows, but for all the success it's seen you wouldn't know it. Today, we're reflecting on why it's not quite the killer console the PS4 was, but also how its far from a disappointment. Lock in your second party deals and greenlight your next dozen live-service games because here we GO!

    Episode 287: Metal Gear

    Do you ever reflect on the fact that there are so many amazing video games that no matter who you are you're destined to at some point be way late to the party on something massively special and/or influential? I may have been there for Ocarina of Time, Halo 2 or Skyrim, but the Metal Gear series manage to slip by me for over 30 years. Spoilers for Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty within!

    Episode 286: Helldivers II

    Have you ever fully believed in something to the point where you would have confidently put money on the line that you wouldn't be wrong? That was me with Helldivers II coming to Xbox, a move I never saw coming...especially published by PlayStation directly. Nonetheless, it's here and it's a good thing for gamers everywhere. Is the way of the exclusive game going by the wayside?

    Episode 285: Perfect Dark, Everwild and the Xbox You Thought You Knew

    There are two ways to look at anything in life. Through the lens of objectivity or caught up in your deepest of emotions. Those who can keep them separate are few and far between, but we will do our best. Perfect Dark and Everwild have been canceled, The Initiative is closed, staff across many teams have been laid off substantially and the confidence in job security is lower than it ever has been. The question of "Is Xbox Dead?" really isn't the one we should be asking, especially when it's owned by a trillion-dollar company. The real question is, when did the Xbox we thought we knew die?

    Episode 284: Death Stranding

    We are just days away from the hotly anticipated sequel to Death Stranding, so we figured it was time to cover our thoughts on the first game in depth. If you've never played it or feel it doesn't interest you, we really hope you'll give this a listen. There's a lot more to Death Stranding than meets the eye and the passion for this title is on full display from beginning to end. Maybe we shouldn't have connected. Spoilers abound!

    Episode 283: Next Gen Xbox, Halo: Reach on PS5+ Silent Hill Remake & Metal Gear Solid Delta

    We're finally coming back down to earth from the whirlwind week that was Summer Games Fest. There's a lot of news bursting from the seams we didn't have a week ago. Silent Hill Remake by Bloober Team is coming, Metal Gear Solid Delta will have online multiplayer and the next generation Xbox in practice may have already been revealed to us. There's been a leak that suggests a Halo title is coming to other platforms soon...could it be Halo: Reach? It wouldn't be the first time.
