KnockBack, Episode 221: Game of Thrones (Season 4)

We're halfway through George RR Martin's famous HBO fantasy series now, and some would argue that season four is the strongest Game of Thrones gets. That's high praise, of course -- the entire run (save maybe the end) is some of the best television ever produced -- but, whether you're a fan of th...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 65: The PAX East 2022 Report

A tired Matty and Cog have returned from a busy PAX East 2022 in Boston, Massachusetts. Together, they experienced a plethora of indie titles and dropped some serious cash on older video games. It's good to see convention season back in full swing and the gamer energy is in full force here.

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 184: How Does The Washington Post Cover Games?

If you're American, you know all about The Washington Post. Behind The New York Times, it's the country's most prolific and most-read newspaper, and in recent years it's made a notable attempt to get into proper games coverage. At the tip of the spear is a veteran reporter named Gene Park, who wa...

Tango Gameworks' newest offering -- console exclusive to PlayStation 5 for the next year -- is its strangest game yet. While still in full embrace of its horror roots (this is Shinji Mikami's team, after all), Tango has opted to get away from scripted and linear play reminiscent of its Evil Withi...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 199: Turning Agnostic

Where is Kratos? Belief that we'd see God of War: Ragnarok by now has left us dismayed, particularly in light of a rather odd video from Santa Monica Studio that gives us little information about a game originally slated to launch in 2021. But without a release date (outside of year) and no confi...

It's no understatement to say that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is perhaps the most singularly important game to ever come to a PlayStation platform, at least when taking into account the environment in which it launched. When it released in 2009, it did so at a vital time for the brand: PS3 S...
