Hey listen! A new episode is available. This week we invite our friend (and PAX West roommate) Jacob McCourt (@jacob.bsky.social) on the show to talk about Final Fantasty Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles! Are you playing it? Let us know your thoughts! www.gamerheadspodcast.com/post/final-f...

I've played 30 hours of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles. Despite having a couple of rough edges, I found myself enamoured with the job system and drawn in by the political intrigue of the story. If you haven't played a game in the FF Tactics series, this is a great entry point.

We have another bonus episode out now! @jacob.bsky.social has played 30 hours of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles and is here with @lukewarmlewis.bsky.social to go through his full thoughts! Audio: plnk.to/crossplaycon... Video: youtu.be/q-veowU4cGk?...

"FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles is a very solid SRPG with quality of life and presentational improvements over the PS1 and PSP versions of the game. These changes help modernize it for new audiences, but it isn’t without its quirks." Read: thegamingbrief.ca/2025/09/24/f...

Fear the Spotlight is a cool game! I wrote 900 words mostly about the things that were strong within it like the atmosphere and puzzle design!

"Fear the Spotlight is a moody and fun romp. The strong atmosphere and puzzle design more than make up for my frustration with character movement and stealth." Read our review: thegamingbrief.ca/2024/11/28/f...
