The Free Cheese Episode 556: Daikatana
This week on The Free Cheese, we can’t leave without our buddy Superfly.
After reviewing and ranking Quake and Quake II over the last two seasons of the podcast, we follow it up John Romero’s Daikatana. Wielding the titular weapon (as briefly as possible), we travel through time and fight the power before it ends us all. -
The Free Cheese Episode 555: Metal Gear Acid
This week on The Free Cheese, no fair, she drew more guns than me.
We return to the launch of the PSP to check out how Konami diverted the Metal Gear Solid games and created something more suited for portability. Metal Gear Acid joins The List this week once we get over the fact that we move by cards, shoot by cards, and do everything else by cards. -
The Free Cheese Episode 554: Zone of the Enders
This week on The Free Cheese, we have obtained the metatron ore.
It's time we take on the role of Leo Stenbuck and climb into Jehuty. If that makes any sense to you, you already know how much fun we had this week. If not, come learn about Zone of the Enders with us. We discuss our time with the first game in the series, how it's connected to other Konami properties, and rank it on The List. -

Our fourth and final Wii Sports Killer for Season 12 enters the conversation as we discuss the new additions to Tetris Effect Connected, breakdown its individual modes, and reminisce on other games that made us feel something. -
The Free Cheese Episode 552: Super Mario Kart
This week on The Free Cheese, the road is rainbow.
We play Super Mario Kart in this episode and discuss how it started not only the kart racing genre but also opened the world up to crossovers. We compare the first entry to our favorites and talk about where it sits in the history of SNES games. -

Our first baseball game makes The List with MLB Slugfest 20-04. Just in time for the start of the season, we check out how the alternative to modern simulation baseball games holds up.
Customer Reviews
Thorough content and great information
It's refreshing to hear honest opinions, experiences, and expectations from and for video games. Very deep cut content. I always learn so much from every show.
Listened to one review, didn’t even bother to finish the game.
Given the game was Blinx The Time Sweeper, so I wouldn’t expect someone unfamiliar with platformers to finish it in a couple days, but with the third act about the Sega connection and references to Jak & Daxter I would think at least one of these guys could get through the game. Bad Crystal combos and backtracking are the only legitimate complaints in that episode. Won’t be listening to another episode.
Great fun
I stopped listening to the IGN, Joystiq, and other gaming podcasts because they got annoying for numerous reasons. This one is well structured and will give you the same information but is more fun since these guys have a sense of humor.
