Episode 122: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross excoriate Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
This episode isn't for the faint of heart... What started out as a well-intentioned desire to talk about a beloved action-adventure game turned into a hit piece against an entire era and genre of games. But we cite our sources, and go to great pains to remind you: Just because we don't like this game doesn't mean we don't like you.

Episode 121: Sanitarium
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross commit to talking about Sanitarium.
You wake up with no face, no memories, and no name. You're surrounded by people banging their heads against walls, talking about mechanical bugs and Aztec prophecies. Diagnosis? Crazy. This horror-themed adventure game is an odd duck because it's played from a bird's-eye perspective... but does it ever quite get off the ground?

Extrasode 120: Mega Man Legends
Episode 120: Mega Man Legends
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross respectfully disagree about Mega Man Legends.
It's the first fully 3D Mega Man game, but it doesn't take a lot of cues from the series that preceded it. You spend most of your time dungeon crawling, but the interesting stuff happens when you're just kickin' it in the city. It rests firmly in the "awkward teenage years" of the PSX. It's Mega Man Legends.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross expand upon the DLC expansions for Fallout 3.
It's a first for the show: We're covering all five pieces of DLC released for Fallout 3. From the highest highs (Point Lookout) to the lowest lows (Mothership Zeta, ironically enough), we've got something to say about them all.

Episode 117: Fallout 3 (Main Quest)
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross set Fallout 3 on fire.
This is it: Our first modern Bethesda game. Morrowind was kind of on the edge, but it's hard to talk about Fallout 3 without also talking about a whole bunch of other games that are like it. You wake up one morning and your dad has fled the vault... this is how the story begins, as you emerge into a fully 3D world to gun down raiders and have awkward conversations. How does Fallout 3 stack up, 7 years later?
This episode covers the generalities of the game, and the main quest line. The next episode will cover the side quests, while part 3 will cover all of the downloadable content for the game.
