Matthew made Christina play the indie Creature Kitchen, which is the epitome of a cozy game that looks like it would scare the pants off of you back in 2001, but it truly is the epitome of a cozy game. The creatures are just weird enough to be off-putting and still cute, and the kitchen has a mystical oven. This game is absolutely worth your time.

Matthew played through Mouse: P.I. For Hire and Christina enjoyed all the fantastic animation, the soundtrack, and Troy Baker's gruff Brooklyn cop voice. This really is a solid boomer shooter, despite what IGN might say.

It's another retro throwback episode! Matthew played through Resident Evil Zero and he and Christina reveled in the early 2000s nostalgia and voice acting. This prequel game has its faults, but this was definitely a fun and quick throwback to play.

It's a retro throwback episode! Christina played the original Luigi's Mansion through Nintendo Switch Online. This one was a launch title for the GamCube and a game Matthew has never seen before. Christina played  it when it first came out but didn't remember much. It's a cute (and short) throwback game that only has Mario in it for a minute and a half.

Matthew played through Resident Evil Requiem with all the lights on, roundhouse kicking his way through as Leon Kennedy and hiding from everything as Grace Ashcroft. Christina watched and enjoyed the visceral chainsaw action and all of the roundhouse kicks.

It's episode 100! We didn't notice it until the very end, so stick around for a polite thank you from us. In the meantime, Christina played through the fun, tempo-based Hi-Fi Rush and had a fun time. Matthew sat back and watched.

After five years, Matthew finally did it: He beat Cyberpunk 2077 and even played through the Phantom Liberty DLC. We talk about how and why it took us five years to make it to the end, how much the game has improved, and how enjoyable the DLC is.

It's our year-end roundup! We talk through the games we played throughout this year (one of our slower years for gaming), touch on this year's Game Awards and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's total domination, and what we're looking forward to in future game releases.

Matthew and Christina are back after a mini hiatus, playing AdHoc Studios' Dispatch. This is seriously one of the best superhero things to have come out in recent years and we played the heck out of all eight episodes.

It's our annual spooky video game podcast, just a few days late! Matthew made Christina play through the short yet creepy-as-heck Dead Take that has plenty of big names gracing its short runtime. It's a game that does exactly what it sets out to do and gives you a few jump scares and some fun scenes along the way.

Matthew and Christina have both played the heck (pun intended) out of Hades II now that it's in its full release and no longer early access. If you were a fan of the first Hades, you will enjoy everything about this sequel. It feels more refined with so many more things to discover.

Matthew and Christina made it through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with its excellent combat, excellent music, excellent story, and excellent voice cast. It just took us a while to get through it and we're sorry. But it's worth the wait. This game is incredible.

After a brief hiatus, Matthew and Christina are back with a review of Donkey Kong Bananza, a fun rampaging time. Christina is adamant that this is what the Nintendo Switch 2 should have launched with, but maybe that's from all the bananas she ingested playing as Donkey Kong.

Christina finished playing South of Midnight a month ago. The storytelling, the music, the atmosphere, the visuals are all so absolutely top-notch, but it falls short when it comes to the combat. That being said, if you play video games for the story or the vibes, you need to play this. We also give a quick opinion-dump at the start about the Nintendo Switch 2!

Matthew played through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle while Christina got to watch an excellent Indiana Jones not-movie and listen to the fantastic vocals of Troy Baker. But seriously, this game will make you want to watch the original trilogy after every gameplay session. The storytelling and vibes are absolute perfection.
