    Death's Door

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! Dave and Mike are talking the fantastic Xbox/PC game, Death's Door, on this week's episode. From its Zelda meets Dark Souls gameplay, to it's cute but dark style and art direction. This game has everything going for it. A Grim Reaper crow must find and vanquish 3 major souls to unlock "Death's Door" filled with awesome characters, funny moments and dialogue, a terrific soundtrack, and a perfect length. Death's Door is something the Bros highly recommend. The Bros also talk about the Steam Deck. What it is, what it costs and if it's worth it. They then talk about it's direct competition, the Nintendo Switch and it's new OLED edition; mostly about how pointless and disappointing it is for those who were waiting for the Switch Pro. Dave then finishes it up by talking about the new MOBA Pokémon Unite. Dave is a big fan of this game, where you play as your favorite Pokémon in this free-to-play, stripped down, and fun MOBA.

    State of Play & Company of Heroes 3

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! First up Mike and Dave talk about the new PS5 trend...Director's Cuts! Both Ghosts of Tsushima and Death Stranding are getting "director's cuts," but it all seems more like just a new name for "Gold Edition." And in the case of Tsushima it might not be worth it to pay for the upgrade. Then the Bros talk Sony's July "State of Play." A rather short one, considering they skipped out on E3 again this year and didn't hold their own event, but we got to see some games. Moss 2 stole Mike's heart with the adorable knight mouse on another adventure. Both Mike and Dave see potential in the possible Metroid-Vania style of the "rabbit with a huge robot fist on his back" game, aptly titled F.I.S.T. Mike was surprised by his interest in the upcoming Hunter's Arena: Legends game with its PvPvE gameplay and anime style. We saw a large amount of combat gameplay from Sifu where are martial arts master ages as he is defeated. Mike and Dave also talk about their interest in Lost Judgement, a game that looks to be in the same vain as Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but with a slight emphasis on being more serious. And finally more Deathloop, which at this point it's just...come on now. The more you show the less we want the game. Mike then talks about his excitement for the surprise announcement of Company of Heroes 3. Although he has never played the original two games, what he saw left him very impressed. You can even download a large chunk of the game for the developers pre-alpha release. And finally the Bros talk about the most important news of all; Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. A Smash Bros.-like game where you can play as characters from shows from all generations of the kids network. Reptar v Powdered Toast Man? You betcha!!! Enjoy the episode and keep on Gaming!!!

    Control Co-Op & More!

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! Mike is riding solo in this one as he talks about the things they missed during E3, from S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 to WarioWare and Microsoft Flight Simulator for Xbox Series X. Mike is especially surprised that he missed talking about S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, as it was one of the few games that impressed him as one of the first true "next-gen" games that he has seen. Mike then talks about game studio Remedy announcing that their "Condor" multiplayer game is indeed a 4 player co-op game, taking place within the Control universe. This is very exciting news to Mike who is a huge fan of the Alan Wake/Control shared universe. The original Control's combat and mission system were seemingly made for a co-op action game and this upcoming game should prove to be another awesome entry from Remedy. Mike also talks Elder Scrolls 6, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and more! Enjoy the episode and keep on Gaming!!! Check us out at TwoPlayerBros.com And visit Ozzed.net for more great retro tunes!

    E3 2021

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! Mike and Dave talk about all things E3 2021!!!! They take a look at the Ubisoft, Devolver, Xbox/Bethesda, Capcom, and Nintendo conferences. Some of them hits, some of them bizarre misses; the one thing that was clear during this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo was that it was no longer the place for big reveals. From Capcom's lackluster show, to Ubisoft just laying out it's upcoming slate like a digital catalog, it was up to heavy hitters Microsoft and Nintendo to pick up the slack; and they were up for it. Xbox never had what Dave would call a big "bop", but introduced 30 pretty awesome new titles, 27 of which were coming straight to Gamepass and quite a few as exclusives; once again cementing Xbox as a gaming heavy hitter. Nintendo meanwhile came out swinging with Metroid Dread and a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild 2. We also saw more of the highly anticipated Elden Ring and trailers for Evil Dead: The Game and Jurassic World: Evolution 2. Enjoy the episode and keep on Gaming!!!

    Biomutant

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! Dave kicks the episode off by talking more about his experiences playing Super Animal Royale over the weekend. From the progression on rewards, gameplay, and more, it seems like Dave has had fun with this new Gamepass game that is also out now on PC as well. Mike then talks about the new Fortnite Season 7. Aliens have invaded the island and the game map has changed, UFOs are everywhere, and the Battlepass system has been reset and changed a bit. Mike is especially excited about Rick from Rick and Morty being an unlockable character as well as Superman coming later this season. The Bros then talk about the new Battlefield 2042 trailer. While the game engine looks impressive, Mike and Dave are unsure about what the game might bring to a very bloated genre that it helped to launch into popularity. Finally, the Bros are finally talking about Biomutant. Mike and Dave hate the narrator and story choices, are unimpressed with combat, but love the style and look of this game. This is a game they've been anticipating for over half a decade, but would rather see free on Gamepass or half the price of other AAA releases. Enjoy the episode and keep on Gaming!!!

    Sonic Central & E3 Predictions

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! The Bros are talking Sonic Central predictions and Mike finds out a terrible truth about Dave; he hates Sonic!!! Their friendship may never be the same. Mike and Dave also talk about their E3 predictions from the conferences officially announced so far. Might we see some of the long gestating Metroid Prime 4? Maybe some Perfect Dark or StarField? Dave gets Mike excited at the prospect of a new Splinter Cell. Mike also wonders if Gamepass is slowing down or if there are simply no big games coming out during this time for Xbox to put on their platform. Finally it's free play week in Star Citizen until June 2nd. This is the perfect opportunity to try this much talked about alpha, especially as it is fleet week and many of the games' ships are available to rent in game for free. Use Mike's referral code STAR-KYZN-34NK and if you decide to buy into the actual game you'll get 5,000 extra in game currency! Enjoy the episode and keep on Gaming!!!

    Resident Evil: Village

    The Two Player Bros take a look at the latest video game news! Mike and Dave talk about crossplay accidentally getting unlocked in Destiny 2 about 6 months early. Enjoy it while you can before its locked again until the fall. After that the Bros talk about their game predictions for the next announced Star Wars Celebration as well as why they aren't excited for Battlefield 6 and what if anything could make them excited for this franchise again. The Bros also talk about how late to the party the new Stargate: Timekeepers game is. A game based on a niche show that ended over a decade ago. Mike then talks about his time thus far with Resident Evil: Village and he might be the only one so far who does not seem to enjoy it. Mike talks about the lack of horror, the ridiculousness of the monsters and story, and the feeling of simply moving from cutscene to cutscene. After a superb reimagining in Biohazard, this game is a bit of a disappointment. But at least the Bros are excited for the imminent release of Mass Effect: Legacy!
