Sacred Symbols+, Episode 100: Resident Evil Village Review and Story Discussion

Eastern Europe has never been explored in Resident Evil, that is until the launch of RE Village, known colloquially as RE8. In a direct sequel to 2017's Resident Evil 7, players once again find themselves in the role of the mysterious Ethan Winters, this time as he chases an undead mystery many t...

KnockBack, Episode 177 | The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (film)

Peter Jackson's epic film rendition of JRR Tolkein's equally-epic fantasy book series wraps up with 2003's Return of the King, a flick many (including us) consider to be the strongest of the three. As Middle-earth seeks balance and peace, the forces of evil remain very much in play. While Frodo a...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 156: Alive Space

Strange and potentially exciting things are happening at Electronic Arts, the once-maligned super-publisher that seems intent on turning things around, at least when it comes to hardcore players' perceptions of its brand. After ruining Mass Effect, nearly running BioWare into the ground, closing ...

Defining Duke, Episode 25: EA Motive Is Reportedly Reviving Dead Space

First and foremost, a big thank to Karak for being an excellent host for Defining Duke. We will miss his commentary, jokes, and analysis on the latest in Xbox. With that in mind, Defining Duke will soon be bringing a new host on board that we will announce soon. Onto the news! Xbox has touted the...

Welcome! On this 99th episode of + (although Colin says it's 100 for some reason), we draw in MrMattyPlays onto Sacred Symbols for the very first time! Why, you ask?! To talk about E3, of course! How do we think everyone did? How did Microsoft do, specifically? How can Sony respond? Which ga...

KnockBack, Episode 176: Grandma's Boy

The 2006 stoner comedy Grandma's Boy is a classic for multiple reasons: It's a stoner romp with great characters, it's fun without being dramatically crude or inappropriate (with some notable exceptions, of course), and -- perhaps most understatedly -- it mercilessly lampoons the gaming indu...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 155: I Want to Believe

Is Hideo Kojima teasing something big? It seems like that could definitely be the case. The intrigue surrounds an unknown studio called Blue Box, a game dev no one has ever heard of named Hasan Karahman, and... well... maybe Silent Hill? We honestly have no clue, but the evidence is frankly rampa...

Defining Duke, Episode 24: Xbox Eliminates The "No Games" Criticism (Video)

One of the primary points of critique for Xbox since the Xbox One has been its lack of meaningful releases. It was significant when an exclusive occurred, but the towering dominance of quality known as PlayStation exclusives would play as cleanup time in and time out. After E3 2021, one part of t...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 20: Diving Deep Into Halo Infinite’s Re-Reveal feat. Chris Ray Gun

It’s a special episode anytime you can pair up Chris with a shooter! It’s even better when Halo is the focus. Xbox showed Halo Infinite off to the world for a second time after a scathing response to the games visuals in August 2020 and months of secrecy after. Between a cinematic trailer wit...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 98: Analyzing Xbox at E3 2021

Sony may have opted-out of the yearly June festivities, but its archrival Xbox sure didn't. Microsoft showed up with bells on, discussing around 30 games, some exclusive and some not, some timed and others day-and-date, and even some next-gen products, too. Starfield has a release date (and no, i...

KnockBack, Episode 175: Battlestar Galactica (Miniseries + Season 1)

In the early aughts, a late '70s sci-fi show was reimagined for a whole new generation of viewers. It was called Battlestar Galactica, and -- unlike the original, cult-favorite run -- the reboot was a smash hit. It's simple enough to understand, in premise: Humanity creates robotic slaves who tur...

It's E3! While PlayStation has gone largely incognito -- frustrating our ability to pore over new first and second party announcements -- there's still a whole lot to talk about when it comes to its third party partners. Heck, our run-time proves it! Let's chat about a new Final Fantasy game...
