This week I continued playing through the Prince of Persia franchise with The Two Thrones (https://store.steampowered.com/app/13530/Prince_of_Persia_The_Two_Thrones/) as well as finally tried the remake of System Shock (https://store.steampowered.com/app/482400/System_Shock/)! I also recommend F1: The Movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16311594) this week since it might be my favorite movie of the year! If you'd like to have ...

This week I played two very different games from Ubisoft. First, the lackluster Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (https://store.steampowered.com/app/13500/Prince_of_Persia_Warrior_Within/) followed by the pretty solid Star Wars: Outlaws (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2842040/Star_Wars_Outlaws/). Definitely playing more Outlaws, maybe not Warrior Within! Finally I recommend the demo for the upcoming game Jump Ship (https://stor...

Wrapping up this month long celebration of my favorite games, this week I played Age of Empires (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1017900/Age_of_Empires_Definitive_Edition/) and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (https://www.gog.com/en/game/star_trek_voyager_elite_force)!

Some really great games, in some of my favorite series ever. I also recommend the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075), though th...

This week I got to play two classic games on the Switch 2! Metroid: Zero Mission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid:_Zero_Mission) and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker) are both over 20 years old, but still great games. Lastly, this week I'm recommending the new Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9603208). Pretty typical ...

This month I'm celebrating six months of the podcast by talking about some of my all-time favorite games! First up, Halo Combat Evolved (https://store.steampowered.com/app/976730/Halo_The_Master_Chief_Collection/) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (https://store.steampowered.com/app/32370/STAR_WARS_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic/).

Last but not least, I recommend the 2024 version of Ultimate Spider-Man (https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/38809/ultimate_spiderman_2024_present)! Also, in June, to celebrate six months of the po...

This week I played some more of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2677660/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Great_Circle/) and tried out the new Doom: The Dark Ages (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3017860/DOOM_The_Dark_Ages/), and I'm enjoying my time with both of them.

This week I continued to play the Oblivion remaster (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623190/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Remastered/) in a couple of different ways as well as tried out the new Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903340/Clair_Obscur_Expedition_33/).

This week I played a bit more of Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) and decided maybe it's just not going to be a big deal for me. I also played the fantastic Oblivion Remastered (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623190/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_Remastered/) and poured a bunch of time into it. Lastly, because it's the only way I could play the remaster, I recommend Xbo...

This week I played some more Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) as well as The Bard's Tale (https://store.steampowered.com/app/41900/The_Bards_Tale_ARPG_Remastered_and_Resnarkled/) and found that playing a bard in either game was not easy! I'm also recommending the book The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn (https://www.amazon.com/Icarus-Hunt-Novel-Timothy-Zahn/dp/0553573918) which...

This week I completed the storyline for the Undermine patch in WoW (https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/) and finally tried Baldur's Gate 3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/)!

It's a big week for gamers with the reveal of tons of information about the Nintendo Switch 2 (https://youtu.be/VrTVeYm4iIM?si=IIx9zb6onKT7HlHI)! Some really cool stuff, some high prices, and at least one headscratcher. Also this week, I started the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2292260/STAR_WARS_Dark_Forces_Remaster/). This is a really well done remaster of a classic Star Wars FPS that I t...

Hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and...

This week I revisited Immortals of Aveum (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2009100/Immortals_of_Aveum/) after trying it for the first time in January (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-4-marvel-rivals-and-immortals-of-aveum/id1789886772?i=1000687379813) and was unexpectedly gifted Repo (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3241660/REPO/), which turned out to be a lot more fun than I would have guessed. I also recommend ...

This week I talk about my experience with Valve's Steam Deck (https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck) as well as going back to play more of Sifu (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2138710/Sifu/). I also recommend the sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3551096) after discovering it via YouTube Shorts. Have any thoughts to share?
