Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross discuss Action Castle, the blind, and GamePro.
Episode 14: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grind Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee to a pulp.
Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee is a puzzle platformer that was revered in its time for its beautiful graphics, excellent sound, and abundant character. Unfortunately, its trial-and-error nature hasn’t aged well. This is possibly the most negative we’ve ever gotten about a game.

Extrasode 13: Duck Tales
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross seedy hotels, Scrooge McDuck’s dark past, and free strategy guides.
Episode 13: Duck Tales
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross capitalize on the nostalgic popularity of Duck Tales.
Duck Tales is regarded as one of the best NES games, and for good reason. Scrooge’s journey from the Himalayas to Transylvania to the Moon and back to Transylvania a few more times is one of the most novel and fun platformers around. Plus, that Moon music.

Extrasode 12: Metroid: Fusion
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross Brian Doyle Murray, exposition, and Christmas memories.
Episode 12: Metroid Fusion
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross kvetch about Metroid Fusion.
What began as the most divisive game WOFF has ever covered quickly became the game we loved to bash. Metroid Fusion is the black sheep of the Metroid series, having broken many conventions and flown in the face of what people loved about Super Metroid. Turns out, it’s not these strange design decisions we disliked, but other more fundamental flaws. Not even close encounters with the infamous SA-X could salvage this one.
