In episode two of our Five Senses of Gaming miniseries, David Pierce dives into the world of hearing with audio-only video games with Paul Bennun, who has been in this space longer than most. Years ago, Bennun and his team at Somethin’ Else made a series of games called Papa Sangre that were among the most innovative and most popular games of their kind.

Kundrecensioner
The Vergecast is everything
There are few things that excite me more than when I realize I have a Vergecast episode to listen to.
I wish you would bring back the tuesday show but make it "Dieter and Nilay rant about technology". Nilay always says that you're over time yet I feel like I never get enough stuff like the HDMI special.
This podcast is your friend.
Except Dieter, he’s your mortal enemy.
One of the things that makes me enjoy Fridays
Great mix of gadget news, tech policy and how tech changes society and life. One of the podcasts I always listen to every week.
