Ep. 152 - Triple-i Initiative Showcase favorites, Dead Space 2 Dead and Xbox Perseveration
This week on The Spectator Mode Podcast, Keith, Scott, and Matt discuss their top 5 favorite indie games shown during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase. Jeff Grubb reports that EA has killed off the Dead Space 2 remake, but EA says otherwise. Xbox has announced a new team devoted to game preservation. However, we aren't 100% confident about this, and we explain why. Finally, we end the show with why games are so expensive and why this isn't good for the gaming industry. #indiegames #xbox #deadspace2 #gamingpodcast

Ep. 151 - Keith Reviews PAX East 2024 and What He Wants for Next Year
Thanks to Reedpop, we were invited to PAX East 2024, and we were able to interview a number of people, play some games, meet some friends, and have an enjoyable time. However, we also had some concerns and regrets. So before he forgot it all, our EIC encountered his time leading up to PAX East 2024, his time there, and what he'd love to see for the next PAX East! #paxeast2024 #paxeast2025 #vlog
PAX East is the North American premier gaming and geek culture convention held once a year on the East Coast in Boston, Massachusetts.

Customer Reviews
Awesome Show
Spectator Mode is a great show that offers the best commentary on the gaming landscape today. They offer a good perspective on the top stories and keep it on point. Too many shows go down a rabbit hole on a subject and quickly lose sight of their audience. Spectator Mode keeps their audience in mind and keep things interesting. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in the gaming industry.
Fantastic gaming podcast!
If you like video games and want to hear some great banter about them, this is the podcast for you. Good group of guys, just talking about something they're passionate about!
