    Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

    Metal Gear Rising is a 2013 slash-em-up with a pretty cool feature in "blade mode". Blade mode allows enemies and objects in the world to be carved in real time, and the tech is still impressive today, 11 years on. I guess you could say it was... cutting edge. It's a very "Bonus Points" thing to have one of the biggest franchises in gaming (Metal Gear Solid) represented on the list by its spin-off, but thats how we be.  Click here for the list!  SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/thebonuspoints [£3/$4 tier = TBP Discord, Extra Credit Podcast and behind the scenes content] [£5/$6 tier = Early access, name in video of podcast, TBP Discord, Extra Credit Podcast and behind the scenes content] Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/thebonuspoints.bsky.social Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@thebonuspointsyt

    Silent Hill 2 Remake

    In my restless dreams, I hear that podcast... We take a little holiday to Silent Hill to help leading man James find his missing/dead (???) wife Mary, following the delivery of a mysterious letter. This episode is pretty full-on so those with a sensitive disposition should probably skip! Grab your pipe (steel, for beating monsters) and join us on a trip to our special place.  Click here for the list!  SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/thebonuspoints [£3/$4 tier = TBP Discord, Extra Credit Podcast and behind the scenes content] [£5/$6 tier = Early access, name in video of podcast, TBP Discord, Extra Credit Podcast and behind the scenes content] Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/thebonuspoints.bsky.social Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@thebonuspointsyt

    Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

    Dead Rising is 2006s divisive open world game set in a zombie infested shopping mall, starring the strange, troll-like man Frank West. Armed with a camera (and anything else you can get your hands on) players must survive 72 hours against the zombie horde and even worse… other survivors. This episode we are talking about the Deluxe Remaster, but its very close to the original.

    The Plucky Squire

    This week we are talking about The Plucky Squire, a game we were both super excited about the release of. The games main hook is that you can jump in and out of a story book, exploring the room the book is in. Maybe we were a little bit too excited for this one however...

    Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

    This might be the most obscure game we've done (despite it selling 1.5 million copies). Maybe more of an audio/visual art piece than a game, we dive in to the short and experimental world of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP and see what was 'cutting edge' in 2011.

    Donkey Kong '94

    This game is an absolute BANGER and somewhat forgotten by Nintendo themselves. The first game where Mario is truly 'acrobatic', it twists after the 4th (and normally final) stage of the game to reveal a whopping 97 more stages to complete. Made for a fun episode, it's always an easy going one when the game is good!

    Splinter Cell: Blacklist

    Indika

    Indika is a strange third person narrative adventure game from Russian development team Odd Meter. The game is story driven, so if you're interested in the title please play it first as we spoil the entire thing!
