    Episode 136 - Patient Gaming: Are we always chasing the next game? - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Are we spending more time chasing new releases than enjoying the games we already own? This week, we discuss gaming FOMO, overflowing backlogs and the pressure to remain part of the latest gaming conversation. We look at why buying games can sometimes become more exciting than playing them, the appeal of patient gaming and why it is perfectly fine to miss even genuinely brilliant games. Pixel Picks Replay also returns as we revisit GoldenEye 007. From its unforgettable multiplayer and brilliant soundtrack to its wonderfully dated character models, does this influential shooter remain worth playing in 2026? We also reveal November’s Pixel Picks Replay selection and put yellow climbing paint on trial in Gamer Court. What game are you deliberately taking your time with right now, and what are you choosing to ignore while you play it?

    Episode 135 - Is This Our Last Console Generation? - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Do PlayStation and Xbox really need another console generation? Project Helix has reportedly been projected to cost between $1,200 and $1,800 without a subsidy. Separate claims suggest memory and storage for the PS6 could cost more than $680 before you even consider the rest of the machine. Neither figure is an announced retail price. But if the consoles we already own have barely reached their limits, why should players spend considerably more money to begin another generation? This week, we discuss whether this could be the last console generation many of us buy at launch. Could our backlogs protect us from the rising cost of gaming? Are subscriptions and creator memberships adding another tax to the hobby? What happens when children want consoles of their own? And does Nintendo now have an open goal with families? Before that, Scott gives Silver Pines his final score and explains why it could become one of 2026’s biggest sleeper hits. We also discuss Star Wars Galactic Racer, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, Onimusha, Castlevania Belmont’s Curse, Final Fantasy Resonance and the value of casual gaming. Plus, we react to the closure of BioWare, remind everyone to play GoldenEye 007 for Pixel Picks Replay and hear a listener’s case about choice paralysis in Gamer Court. Would you still buy another console at launch? Tell us your absolute price limit in the comments.

    Episode 134 - Smut Week: Turning Up The Heat… (We’re Sorry) - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Which video game character first made you feel something beyond excitement and rage? Smut Week has arrived, and we’re confessing our first gaming crushes, revisiting the characters developers clearly wanted us to fancy and discussing the game romances we took far too seriously. From Chun Li, Nina Williams and Lara Croft to Solid Snake, Leon Kennedy, Shadowheart and the entire increasingly suspicious history of Hideo Kojima, prepare to learn far too much about us. Before that, we give Gears of War E Day our verdicts, explain why Silver Pines could be one of 2026’s biggest horror surprises, discuss gaming on holiday and cautiously react to the latest unverified GTA VI footage. We also return to GoldenEye 007 for Pixel Picks Replay before entering Gamer Court to discuss more of the most ridiculous takes in gaming Who was your first video game crush?

    Episode 133 - Gears of War is Back… Let’s Get Physical - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Physical games were about more than owning a disc.  Game shops, midnight launches, manuals, trade ins and lending games to friends all helped make gaming feel like a visible culture. This week, we ask what digital convenience has cost us, what today’s younger players may never experience and whether physical gaming is already beyond saving. We also share our first impressions of Gears of War E Day, including its horror atmosphere, incredible opening act and why it feels like the Xbox game we have been waiting for, plus: In this episode: Gears of War E-Day Ghost of Yōtei Echoes of SekigaharaFire Emblem Fortune’s WeavePES 6 Master LeagueThe Vale LostboundPixel Picks ReplayGamer Court  Subscribe for weekly gaming discussions from two adult gamer parents. https://www.youtube.com/@PixelParentsPodcast GET BONUS SHOWS AND MORE BY JOINING OUR ALWAYS FREE PATREON (www.patreon.com/pixelparents) Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code BMB591ST2JKNHXWE #GamingPodcast #TheWitcher3 #GamingPodcast — CHAPTERS 00:00 What we lose when games go digital 00:42 Butter in the beard 03:22 Welcome and housekeeping 04:25 PES 6 Master League 07:56 The Vale Lostbound 09:24 Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave 15:28 The value of comfort games 21:50 Ghost of Yōtei Echoes of Sekigahara 33:22 Moonlighter 2 and card shop life 35:18 Gears of War E Day impressions 42:18 Gears becomes survival horror 49:26 Why the Locust feel frightening again 57:26 What we lose without physical games 01:00:31 What physical gaming meant to us 01:08:08 Manuals, game shops and discovery 01:14:07 The death of midnight launches 01:20:01 What younger gamers may never experience 01:28:24 Is physical gaming already dead? 01:32:19 GoldenEye 007 Pixel Picks Replay 01:33:55 Gamer Court puts PT on trial 01:39:29 Was the seventh generation gaming’s peak? 01:41:39 Thanks for listening — Write to us: pixelparentspodcast@gmail.com Follow us on BlueSky: @pixelparents.bsky.social Music & production by Sean Murray – barehandsdesigns.com New episodes every Friday. 🎧 Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2JE8TeviD5XXuiqVYxj63Q?_reload_cause=banner-auto-reload 🍎 Listen on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pixel-parents-video-game-podcast/id1740836394 💬 Join our FREE Discordhttps://discord.gg/yjV2wSAZw 💖 Join the FREE Patreon https://www.patreon.com/pixelparents 🦋 Follow us on Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/pixelparents.bsky.social 📺 Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@PixelParentsPodcast/S ✉️ Email the show pixelparentspodcast@gmail.com

    Episode 131 - Great games, broken industry: Xbox layoffs and gaming’s future - Pixel Parents Podcast

    Gaming has rarely been better, but the industry behind it has rarely looked more unstable. Another 268 Xbox jobs have been cut, Halo is moving to a new team within Activision, and more studios face uncertain futures. But this feels much bigger than one company making bad decisions. Scott and Liam discuss the rising cost of making games, unsustainable expectations, the future of AA development and why the next console generation could leave normal players behind. Are we taking one of the best periods for playing video games for granted while the foundations underneath it change? Elsewhere, Scott gives Onimusha: Way of the Sword a nine out of ten and prepares for a brutal platinum run. Liam finishes The Blood of Dawnwalker and Marvel’s Wolverine before becoming dangerously invested in Star Wars Zero Company. Gamer Court also returns with more outrageous claims from the dock!

    Episode 130 - Fixing PlayStation & Marvel’s Wolverine - Pixel Parents Podcast

    PlayStation is still the default place to play for millions of people.  But after an uneven PS5 generation, rising prices and a failed live service push, Sony appears to have lost some of its identity. We look at what PlayStation still gets right, where its confidence has gone and the changes we would make before PS6. That includes more creative games, better communication, new franchises and a return for the studios and ideas that once made PlayStation feel different. Liam also shares his early verdict on Marvel’s Wolverine. It is polished, violent and refreshingly linear, but does it justify its £70 price? Elsewhere, Scott continues his Onimusha Way of the Sword obsession, Liam gives The Blood of Dawnwalker his final verdict and Folk Hero earns the highest possible recommendation. It is ideal for playing on the cludgie. And of course, we’re back in the dock with this week’s Gamer court!
