Game Time With Manny Manny

It's our 250th episode, but we didn't really prepare anything special. Instead we discuss how Dead Space is on ice again at EA, the insanity a few studio closures, and some hot indie showcases.

Matt got extra into hockey these past few weeks so he really only played Metroid Prime. That allowed me to talk at length about the 900 games I played such as Yellow taxi Goes Vroom, Harold Halibut, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Eiyuden Chronicle!

We return from our one episode without layoffs to let you know about some more layoffs. Then we hit the bottom of the news barrel to bring you hot things like maybe Gears 6 is getting announced this summer.

In the games section you can hear all about my Stardew Valley Bender before we move into my favorite part of the podcast, which is listening to what wild ass games Matt has decided to play. Did anyone guess the original Borderlands? I sure didn't.

For once the news wasn't dominated by layoffs and studio closures! We discuss a few titles that were shown off and a few release date announcements.

The true meat of the episode comes from the metric ton of games we both played over the past two weeks. I finished FF7 Rebirth, and started Stardew Valley (again), and Dragon's Dogma 2! Matt again went ham and played Devil May Cry 2, Call of Duty (the original), Gat Out of Hell and more!

Get in now for all this hot video game talk!

Sadly the video game industry is continuing to fall apart so we once again discuss the numerous layoffs and closures that have happened before moving into some slightly more positive news.

I played Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth almost exclusively while Matt finished Vanquish and Bioshock Infinite. He's also chipping away at some other games such as the classic Heavy Rain (JASONNNNN!)

Despite the fact that Xbox announced they were doing exactly what all the rumors said people are somehow mostly okay with that now. We discuss how everything is still basically the same. Most of the other news was a Nintendo Partner Direct, which we also talk about.

I continued to play Persona 3 Reload and beat the story of Tekken 8. Matt finally beat Alan Wake 2 and then dipped into the well to start Vanquish.

Video game news came at us hard this week, so we discuss the Sony State of Play and do a whole lot of speculation about what the hell is going on with Xbox.

I started Persona 3 Reload and have been playing a lot of Street Fighter 6. Matt played a billion games but the ones I was excited about were the Witcher 2 and that weird new free Silent Hill game!
