With so many games in the pipeline, 2023 feels like the year that the pipe bursts and we get flooded with games. With big hitters such as Starfield, Spider-Man 2, and Tears Of The Kingdom set to arrive, it may be safe to suggest that 2023 could be one of gaming's very best. Given the Duke's enthu...

It's true: We're about seven years late on this one. But better late than never, as they say, for I (Colin) have recently experienced my very first Trails game and am eager to talk about it. To do so, I enlisted the help of the person who convinced me to give the game a go to begin with: MrM...

2022 is but a fleeting memory. Thus, as the calendar turns over, we thought it would be best to look ahead. As is our tradition, it's time for Sacred Symbols to talk about our most-anticipated games of the next 12 months. 2023 is shaping up to be a far, far stronger year than 2022, an especially ...

Our holiday tradition continues as Matty and Cog gather to discuss the very best and worst that Xbox's most popular service, Game Pass, had to offer. It was a year that saw strong improvement in the terms of quality as last year featured technical Day 1 duds such as Dark Alliance, Back 4 Blood, a...

As you're hopefully already familiar (and should go listen to or watch before proceeding), Episode 246 of + was the first of a two-part episode dedicated to ranking PlayStation's first party teams. In other words, a way to organize studios Sony owns outright through some loose metric. While ...

It's time once more for The Sacred League, our monthly game that pits Sacred Symbols' hosts against each other in nonsensical competition. As usual, we go down both subjective and objective routes, and this month's inquiries run the gamut from unremarkably normal to profoundly strange. Will Perso...

It's time once more for our annual Sacred Symbols tradition: Recounting and discussing the most memorable and interesting moments from the last 12 months of PlayStation.

Fallout is a series that is near and dear to our Duke hearts and undoubtedly one of the lead reasons behind Xbox's purchase of Zenimax Media. While Fallout 76 lives on, many wonder where the next mainline entry lies and with whom. You see, Xbox has a unique talent issue when it comes to this part...

The definition of "Pentiment" is the underlying image in a painting, especially one that has become visible when the top layer of paint has turned transparent with age, providing evidence of revision by the artist. Today, Matty and Cog finally peel back all those layers on murder mystery within P...

It's time for another call-in episode of Sacred Symbols+, conducted (as always) via the Last Stand Discord. We went to six individual callers today, all with their own topic, which we of course didn't know beforehand. One person wanted to discuss the seeming fall of turn-based gaming, while anoth...

Hello!
It is with great relief that I write you this letter. (Sounds like I’m penning a dispatch during the Civil War.) Over the last month or so, Last Stand has been in overdrive with the intention of pre-recording all of our content for the holiday season, so that we might collectively ...
