Dropping on Halloween, the second part of our SPOOKTOBERFEST podcast season will be a deep dive into Tecmo's photographical, ghostly classic: Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly.

Or Project Zero if you prefer worse names. Coming Friday...

August is upon us, and that means it’s time for our annual Summer of Resi!

We’re down to our final two mainline games in the series this year, and will be covering Resident Evil CODE: Veronica and Resident Evil 4.

Strap in, it’s going to be a hell of a ride. Coming soon…

In our first Genre Wars episode, we had a knockout tournament to crown the King of FPS games, and there was probably only ever going to be one winner.

All hail the mighty Doom, baby!
