PS Plus Game Club - Episode 42: Skate Story

Nick Hyett-Schnell and Brady (FatePrime) join Kevin to talk about Skate Story, a single developer game from Sam Eng that was released in December of last year. This episode is definitely not a spoilercast, but they do try to make sense of the story for a few minutes. They instead focus on the tone the game sets with its kaleidoscopic art style and laid back music by the band Blood Cultures. They cover their favorite songs, tricks, and decks to ride on. They also note how well the game mimics the feeling of owning a board and making it your own. Skate Story captured the essence of skate culture and this episode is all about how the game got it so right.

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 145: Reunited At Last

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another installment of Trophy Talk! In this June episode, Josh and Colin are reunited as cohosts and get to catch up on life, work, gaming, and of course trophy hunting. With life being busy recently, Josh hasn't had as much time to trophy hunt as he'd like but still finds time to earn some trophies in his favorite genre. Can you guess which genre it is? Simulator games of course! Colin on the other hand has sinned greatly this month, purchasing two new games and earning a Platinum for a title that may end up being in the game of the year discussion for 2026. Games covered include House Flipper 2, Powerwash 2, 007 First Light, Mixtape, and Helldivers 2. On top of all of that we of course cover our Patron write ins, Platinum shout outs, and other large topics of the month such as Sony's State of Play for June. Indeed we are eating good as gamers right now. So many games, so little time. It's a tale as old as time isn't it? Please enjoy this episode, and thank you for listening!

Zac & Kevin's First Thoughts of the PlayStation State of Play

Trophy Talk May Extra Episode - What We Want and Expect for the PlayStation State of Play

On this extra episode of Trophy Talk Kevin, Colin, Max, and guest Jordan Vickers gather to speculate about what’s coming for Sony’s big State of Play presentation in early June. You’ll hear Jordan almost kill Colin, Kevin steals one of Max’s predictions, and Max fires back with a reboot of a game that we haven’t heard of, but looks like it deserves a rebirth. They also speculate about the obvious expected sequels and why we shouldn’t see a specific one during the show. Just like the State of Play, everyone should find something to enjoy here, so we hope you love it. Be excellent to each other.

Surviving the Horror - Episode 25: Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

Hello one and all, and welcome back to another spooky episode of Surviving the Horror! In this episode, Colin and Josh take a departure from the more serious fare they've been playing lately, to visit the realm of Nintendo. In 2001 Luigi's Mansion was released for the Nintendo GameCube and became an instant classic. Audiences around the world were delighted at the ways in which Nintendo could take a "side" character and create a whole new IP with him, in a genre that was largely unexplored by first party at that time. In 2013 a follow up was announced and in 2014 Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon graced us all on the 3DS console. Today, Josh and Colin are playing and discussing the HD port of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, for the Switch. Released in 2024, Dark Moon HD ditches much of the open world style exploration of the first game, in favor of a shorter mission based structure in several smaller hubs. Is this a successful change? Well that's for you and us to determine! In general though, Luigi's Mansion is a fun, goofy, heartfelt game that uses it's ghosts and creepy aesthetic to do something different with a character we all know and love. We hope that you enjoy the episode, and thank you for listening!
