    Episode 158: Mario Odyssey, Hellblade, South Park, Thimbleweed Park

    Reviews in this episode are for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PS4), Super Mario Odyssey (Switch), South Park: The Fractured but Whole (PS4), Don't Knock Twice (Switch), Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today (Switch) and Thimbleweed Park (Switch). I've also added eight more Steam codes to the game give-away page. Listen for the password. If you can't use them or don't want them, share with a friend. The new plan is to give listeners one week to redeem the games you want, and then I'll share the link on Twitter, which will work until the password changes on the next episode. 00:00:00 - Game Audio Clip (from South Park) 00:00:47 - Welcome to the Podcast (Intro) 00:06:27 - Hellblade - Senua's Sacrifice (Review) 00:12:44 - Super Mario Odyssey (Review) 00:24:30 - South Park - The Fractured but Whole (Review) 00:33:20 - Don't Knock Twice (Review) 00:37:40 - Dead Synchronicity - Tomorrow Comes Today (Review) 00:43:53 - Thimbleweed Park (Review) 00:52:05 - Closing Remarks (Wrap-Up) 00:53:52 - Game Music Clips (from Super Mario Odyssey) 00:57:44 - Post-Episode Outtake (with Addie) Have feedback?

    Episode 157: 2017 Wrap-Up, Top 10's, and 2018 Hype

    It's a change of pace this time. Rather than an all-reviews episode, Bill joins me to talk about our favorite games of 2017 (and prior years). We read some listener email, which prompts several tangents and discussions about Nintendo Labo, 8-bit Castlevania games, the future of Playstation VR, and more. We recap our 2017 predictions to see how well we guessed the world of gaming at the beginning of last year. We also have a few new predictions for 2018. With no end to the games on the horizon, we talk about quite a few upcoming releases, with rankings on how likely it is they'll release this year. Oh, and if you're a PC gamer, you're in luck. Sixteen games have been added to the codes give-away page. They're free to the first listener able to solve a little scavenger hunt made up of clues in the episode. Listening late? Play along anyway, because the Steam codes usually last days, weeks, even months before being redeemed. It never hurts to check. 00:00:04 - Welcome to the Podcast (Intro) 00:05:40 - Intro and Agenda for 2017 Wrap-Up 00:10:47 - Listener Email (Jason G) 00:14:51 - Listener Email (Pawel) 00:29:23 - Listener Email (Judge Greg) 00:32:55 - Mike's 2017 Honorable Mentions 00:49:23 - Bill's Best-Of-Played in 2017 01:06:03 - Mike's Best Of 2017 Top 10 List 01:18:49 - Mike's 2017 Didn't-Play List 01:24:57 - Bill's Ongoing Backlog List 01:32:13 - Bill's 2017 Predictions Recap 01:34:21 - Mike's 2017 Predictions Recap 01:38:27 - Bill's Predictions for 2018 01:44:29 - Mike's Predictions for 2018 01:48:44 - Looking Ahead to 2018 and Beyond 02:12:45 - Closing Remarks (Wrap-Up) 02:15:00 - VGG Podcast MIDI Music Clip 02:17:21 - Post-Episode Outtake (with Addie) Have feedback?

    Episode 156: Wolfenstein 2, Mario + Rabbids, Shadowgate, Uninvited, Subject 13

    The first three reviews this episode are for point-and-click adventure games. I review The Uninvited, a classic NES adventure game now available as part of the 8-Bit Adventure Anthology (PS4). After that, another from the same collection, Shadowgate (PS4). Then I review Subject 13 (PS4), Wolfenstein: The New Colossus (PS4), and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (Switch). In the intro, several more game codes on Steam have been added to the codes give-away page, and I talk a little about plans for our 2017 year-end wrap-up episode, where Bill will return to co-host. If want to participate, email us your best-of list, predictions for 2018, or just whatever seems appropriate for a year-end wrap-up. 00:00:00 - Game Audio Clip (from Wolfenstein 2) 00:00:46 - Welcome to the Podcast (Intro) 00:05:24 - 8-Bit Adventure: The Uninvited (Review) 00:15:20 - 8-Bit Adventure: Shadowgate (Review) 00:21:30 - Subject 13 (Review) 00:32:22 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (Review) 00:41:08 - Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (Review) 00:50:28 - Closing Remarks (Wrap-Up) 00:51:13 - Game Music Clips (from Mario + Rabbids) 00:52:11 - Post-Episode Outtake (with Addie) Have feedback?

    Episode 155: Assassin's Creed, Dishonored, Danganronpa, IFComp 2017

    After more than two months, I'm back with the latest "reviews" episode of Video Game Generations. This week, I review Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, and Assassin's Creed Origins. I had also planned to review several of the entries in this year's Interactive Fiction Competition, but only got around to three of them, which are also included. For the first time, I'm also including segment timestamps in these show notes. I may go back and add timestamps retroactively for the last four episodes also, if I get the time. I hope this helps any listener wanting to skip a review, or skip to a specific review. 00:00:00 - Game Audio Clip (from AC Origins) 00:00:31 - Welcome to the Podcast (Intro) 00:04:12 - Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (Review) 00:17:14 - Danganronpa V3 - Killing Harmony (Review) 00:30:04 - Interactive Fiction Competition 2017 (Intro) 00:34:26 - IFComp 2017 - Just Get the Treasure (Review) 00:38:09 - IFComp 2017 - Eat Me (Review) 00:42:39 - IFComp 2017 - Hexteria Skaxis Qiameth (Review) 00:44:25 - Assassin's Creed Origins (Review) 00:57:02 - Closing Remarks (Wrap-Up) 00:58:46 - Game Music Clips (from Danganronpa V3) 01:03:58 - Post-Episode Outtake (with Addie) Have feedback?

    Episode 154: Agents of Mayhem, Uncharted TLL, Bulb Boy, Last Day of June

    This time on VGG Reviews (which is really what I should call the podcast, for now), I talk about Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas (3DS), Agents of Mayhem (PS4), Bulb Boy (Switch), Last Day of June (PS4), Danganronpa v3: Killing Harmony (demo on PS4), and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4). But first, some preliminary house-keeping includes an update on what's keeping Addie busy (to be clear, Addie isn't here -- it's just me letting you know what she's up to these days), and several new Steam game codes added to the codes give-away page. The ending music is a catchy, silly tune from Agents of Mayhem, which is also the source of the series of puns at the start of the episode. Have feedback?

    Episode 153: Hitman, Spec Ops, Yooka-Laylee, Lithium

    There was plenty of game review content this time, so no top-10 list or special feature (sorry). Reviews include Lithium: Inmate 39, Yooka-Laylee, Spec Ops: The Line, and Hitman: Season 1. Before that, I give out the new password for the game codes page, where four new games have been added (three on Steam, one for Vita). The ending music for this episode is the main theme from Yooka-Laylee. Have feedback? Write to us at podcast@vggpodcast.com Find links and show notes at http://www.vggpodcast.com

    Episode 152: Zelda, Shadwen, Danganronpa

    This episode, I review The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo Switch), Shadwen (PS4), and Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls (PS4). A review of Tokyo Jungle (PS3) submitted by Jason G. is also included. After the reviews, I list the top ten features missing from the Nintendo Switch, and the ten games releasing later this year that I'm most looking forward to playing. The ending music this week is the title theme for Danganronpa AE:UDG. Enjoy! Have feedback? Write to us at podcast@vggpodcast.com Find links and show notes at http://www.vggpodcast.com

    Episode 151: Prey, Syberia II, The Surge

    We're back! Well, I'm back. This is the first review-only solo episode after the end of our regular format last time. It's no longer weekly, but I plan to release an episode as often as I can. Until Heath is ready to co-host and we can return to a weekly schedule, the next few weeks or months or years will be like this. I hope you like game reviews! This week, I review Prey (PS4), Syberia II (PS3), and The Surge (PS4). That's most of the show. First, though, this week's feature is a top ten list of the most exciting announcements (for me) from this year's E3. Listen afterwards for this week's code give-away password. Up for grabs are Steam codes for Good Robot, Manual Samuel, and Dreamscapes: The Sandman - Premium Edition. Have feedback?
