On today's episode of Match 2, Elliot and his mom, Brittany, cover Nintendo's suspiciously perfectly timed 2020 cozy life sim, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Cuphead: Soul-Stealingly Scrumptious? with Maddi

On today's episode of Match 2, Elliot and his close friend and special guest star Maddi cover 2017's hit hand-drawn run-'n'-gun, Cuphead, from cup to bottom. (In Elliot's defense for that joke, nothing says Cuphead like a terrible pun.) Maddi discusses everything that makes Cuphead such an enduring and exciting game, including the reasons Elliot still has barely made it past Isle 1 after several years of owning it.

Disney Infinity: All Too Finite?

On today's episode of Match 2, we cover Disney's trendsetting and trendfollowing foray into the Toys-to-Life craze, Disney Infinity. Elliot covers the full history of the series entry by entry, which is admittedly shorter than he and any of its fans would have liked. Give it a listen and let us know how to improve in the comments!

Portal 2: A Hole New World?

On today's episode of Match 2, we cover Valve's 2011 puzzle "shooter", Portal 2. Elliot also does his best not to spoil anything, which is tough in a game where most characters' existence is a spoiler. Interesting pick for a pilot episode! Elliot is hoping it shows integrity and determination rather than lack of forethought. Anyway, give it a listen and let us know how to improve in the comments! Follow the show on social media!
