I recently added "Gaming Disability" to the library, and been flipping through its pages. There's some incredibly powerful information around representation, access and inclusion in here. ❤️ I'm not a GAMEDEV, but thoroughly enjoying what I've read so far! 📚

This week’s “From the Outside In” topic comes from GO CO member Dru Ross, who wanted us to talk about Gaming Resurrections. “What from the gaming past would you like to see come back to the industry in present day? Can be anything in gaming that you remember or enjoyed years ago?”

On this week’s Ep, @gocastzack.bsky.social & Scott discuss pets, both those in-game as well as real-life. In news, Nintendo and Sony had digital press events this week & there’s lots of controversy with Unity’s new practices. New games discussed include ‘Bounty of One’ & ‘Wrestlequest’.

On our August 23rd episode of the main podcast, we received a lot of feedback from listeners who wish we hadn't kept the topic spoiler-free. We decided to re-record just that segment of the show but spoiling (most of) the surprises we avoided before.

The Making of Karateka from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social is a wonderful documentary that preserves the legacy of the iconic game while making it more accessible. Our own @gocastzack.bsky.social had a blast experiencing this interactive history lesson; you can read about it more in his written review.

‘Fort Solis’ from Fallen Leaf Studios is a tight thriller with excellent performances and wonderful banter that will delight fans of walking simulators. Our own @gocastzack.bsky.social enjoyed this walking sim a great deal, and you can read why in his written review below.

Cj Moore says that Ultimate Chicken Horse is a hilarious party game that is endlessly replayable and perfect to play with friends. Read his FIRST written review to learn why you'll definitely want to play this game, but you might want to bring some ice packs for your shoulders.

According to David Newman, ‘Crime Boss: Rockay City’ has a starry cast, but its poor mission design and longer length fail to make this a compelling roguelite. Read his written review to learn how he had high hopes for this title, but it was ultimately a disappointment.

We have good news bad news: Bad news: due to an unforeseen conflict. Cissy Jones will not be able to attend R2V2 this October. We're super bummed! Jon St. John will still be our special guest for the day. Good news: ticket prices are now $5.00 cheaper. Even less if you pre-purchase!

It’s time for Community Questions! Every first episode of the month, we ask our community for video game related questions to inspire interesting conversation on the show. If you’d like to hear your question read on a recording, please put it in the comments below!

Happy Friday! There’s a MASSIVE release this weekend, but still a ton of other games to play. What are you checking out over the holiday weekend? Shown below: ‘Starfield’ (Early Access | Xbox Series S\X & PC now) ‘Sea of Stars’ (available now on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch & PC)

Well, I guess Scott is getting back into Powerwash Simulator.

I’m this week’s Ep, @gocastzack.bsky.social, Chris, Alyssa & I discuss forgotten consoles of the past. In news, Atari announced a new 2600 console. New games discussed include ‘Shadow Gambit’, ‘Torn Away’, ‘The Tower of Babel’ & ‘Fort Solis’.

The amount of love they put into this game continues to blow us away. Is it bad that that’s the case based on modern standards?

Scott needs to go back in time. He had no idea this was an option.

It’s finally Friday, so what are you planning to check out this weekend? Something new or something from you backlog? Pictured below: ‘Armored Core VI: Fires of the Rubicon’ (PS5, PS4, XXS, XB1, PC) - Aug 25

‘Post Trauma’ follows Roman, a tormented middle-aged man who awakens alone in a strange and hostile place. To escape this nightmare and find a way home, you’ll need to solve challenging puzzles, explore your surroundings and survive the dangers that lurk everywhere. Console and PC spring of 2024.

‘Mandragorda’ from Primal Game Studio is a challenging, but rewarding 2.5D side-scroller coming to Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch in 2024. Here’s the trailer shown at Gamescom’s opening night.

Sony’s remote play device is officially called ‘PlayStation Portal’. It will launch later this year with a price tag of $199.99.

For this week’s “From the Outside In” topic, we’re using a suggestion from Sean Coates, who says he loves the console retrospectives. CB wanted to talk about obscure or forgotten consoles from the past. What are some consoles that you feel not many people remember or have even played?

On our latest Ep, Zack, Alyssa & I discuss narrative twists in games while remaining as spoiler-free as possible. In news, ‘Alan Wake 2’ is delayed. New games discussed include ‘Dust & Neon’, ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’, ‘Ashina: The Red Witch’ & ‘Super Catboy’.

‘Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion’ is a faithful restoration of the classic first-person shooter originally released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, upgraded through Nightdive Studios’ proprietary KEX Engine for play on modern gaming devices. It releases on consoles & PC November 14th.

Ashina: The Red Witch from Stranga Games is an enchanting, emotional point-and-click adventure that pays homage to Japanese culture. Alyssa found it to be "a charming, emotional, and sometimes creepy experience", and you can read why in her review.

‘Return to Grace’ from Creative Bytes Studios doesn't have challenging gameplay, but its deep story will interest anyone who is a fan of narratively driven games. Check out Chris Owens' written review to learn more about this walking simulator that captured his attention quite well.

The release date trailer for ‘Sonic Superstars’ was released by Sega today. Look for this one to release on Oct. 17th for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch & PC.

En Garde! from Fireplace Games is "an easy recommendation for anyone who’s a fan of Sekiro-style combat, games that don’t take themselves too seriously, or just fun games in general. Read Relle's review to learn why his only real gripe is that it's just too short.

‘Starfield’ comes out in two weeks, and they’re giving us a live-action trailer with zero gameplay.

Atari announced the Atari 2600+ with this launch trailer. It will connect via HDMI, is compatible with all original games from the platform, and includes a new joystick.

This Way Madness Lies from @zeboydgames.bsky.social is a truly unique experience that combines traditional JRPG elements with magical girls and Shakespeare. Check out Alyssa's review to learn why she calls it "truly delightful gem of a game".

‘The Invincible’ puts players in the role of Yasna, a sharp-tongued astrobiologist forced to search for her crew and bring them back “dead or alive” as a perilous mission to the eerie planet Regis III takes an awry turn. The game releases 11/6/23 on Xbox Series S/X, PS5 & PC.

Charles Martinet is taking a step back from providing the voice of Mario. Who can fill those shoes for future titles in the series?

Our own Scott Clark had the opportunity to be a guest host on a podcast called ‘Quest Markers’ where he got to talk about his favorite video game of all time, ‘The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past’. You can listen to it at the link below. Thanks for listening! https://linktr.ee/questmarkers
