Wonderpod Episode 138

This weeks wonderpod contains a major error. Namely that I said episode 139 at the top of the show and it is actually episode 139. Sorry about that little fubar folks. Other than that we have an awesome show this week. One of us even broke down and bought new hardware. Oh the humanity!!

Steamed! – Depths of Peril

Depths of Peril Current selling price: $14.99 So imagine if the original Diablo was both competitive and timed. That’s Depths of Peril. Granted, saying that alone doesn’t do it justice, but that’s what it is per face value. You represent a leader of a barbarian clan and, throughout the course of a single game, will […]

My Thoughts On Earthbound

Earthbound. A game that for many is a fond, but distant memory. A game that did so much and (used to) receive so little recognition. A game that upon a distant glance doesn’t look like its anything special, but provides a fun, deep, and rewarding experience. Earthbound is one of the best SNES RPGs in […]

Steamed! – Ys Origin

Ys Origin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0PNLeQHlQA Current selling price: $19.99 I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with Ys tacked onto it. Ys Origin is a prequel of sorts to the original Book of Ys. It’s pretty fun, has the new Ys engine going for it, and has a lot of really interesting concepts, but is highly repetitive. […]

Torchlight 2

General Overview I’ve been wanting to review this one for a while, but never felt like I had enough content to do so. I’ve beaten the game…and I still feel this way. If anything, this speaks volumes about the magnitude of ridiculous content stuffed into this package. If you enjoyed anything at all about the […]

Steamed! – The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac Current selling price: $4.99 Initially I wasn’t sure what to think about this one. Now…well, I’m not sure what to say. As a game, it’s really damn good. It’s a Zelda-esque rogue-like that has all kinds of fantastic elements and a steep ass difficulty. However, it’s also incredibly fucking disturbing and […]

Sleeping Dogs

General Overview Imagine if you had a game that combined elements of Saints Row, True Crime, Batman Arkham Asylum, Max Payne, and Assassin’s Creed. Imagine if that same game was a sprawling action RPG hybrid being fronted by Square Enix. Sounds too good to be true, right? Strangely enough, Sleeping Dogs seems to combine all […]

The Last Story

It should be noted that this is not the pre-order kit. There is actually quite a lot of swag for pre-ordering. General Overview An action RPG that has semi-real time strategy elements, close and long-range combat, lots of optional side missions, and even stealth gameplay? Surely, there’s got to be something wrong with it. That’s […]

Spartacus Legends – Free to Play

While wondering around YouTube this morning I came across this trailer from Ubisoft. Looks like Microsoft is going to give free to play games a real shot. From what I have read about the game there will be things to purchase, but you can’t buy your way to winning. I am slightly skeptical about that […]

Wonderpod Episode 125

This weeks Wonderpod was a two man show. Poor Glasenator was forced to deal with me all by himself. We actually learned something doing this show. Namely if there are no Canadians around I am far more weird and crude. So apparently anyone from Canada has super powers to make me behave. Makes for an […]
