Sacred Symbols+, Episode 82: The Fallout of Fallujah

Unexpected news dropped from the sky like mana last week, for the shooter Six Days in Fallujah is being revived. Yet, the industry conversation surrounding the game is predictably devoid of two things: Reason and expertise. Thankfully, today's special guest fixes both of those shortcomings. Steve...

KnockBack, Episode 159 | Rewriting Star Wars: Episode VII

We're pretty hard on Star Wars here on KnockBack. But it's only because we care so damn much! Yet, we're rarely (if ever) asked to put up or shut up when it comes to the topic... until now. As voted on by our listeners, this episode is the first of three that will be dedicated to the new Star War...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 138: A Vicious Cycle

Who knew that we'd talk about Six Days in Fallujah for two weeks in a row some 12 years after the original iteration of the contentious game was cancelled. Yet, it's all our sphere wants to talk about, as the FPS revival of Six Days is drawing the ire of predictable industry-types. The question, ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 81: Hitman 3 Spoilercast and Review Discussion

In 2016, IO Interactive sought to reinvent the Hitman series after 2012's less than stellar Hitman: Absolution. While it may have had a slow start with the misunderstood episodic nature of Hitman 2016, the series began to take on a new light thanks to the open-ended level design that was filled t...

KnockBack, Episode 158: BioShock Infinite

High above the clouds is a city in the sky. It's called Columbia, and it was once a part of the United States, a floating testament to American Exceptionalism and the sacred religion of The Founders. This is all true in BioShock Infinite, anyway, an adventure set in an alternate version of 1912. ...

KnockBack, Episode 157: Board Games

Through a modern lens, board games seem... well... quaint. After all, why would a child play with plastic toys when they can hold an iPad, are we right? Thus, it's incumbent on us to explore the Old Ways, and in reality, those Old Ways are still quite new, indeed. Board gaming, as it turns out, i...
