Grab your popcorn! The back and forth over Call of Duty and Game Pass between Xbox and PlayStation has truly begun. Last week's episode saw us discussing the possible "fear" within PlayStation as they highlighted how Call Of Duty on Game Pass would create an unfair advantage.

Between myself and Jimmy Champane, we combine for two decades worth of experience creating YouTube content. Certainly that has to worth something, right?

Please welcome Melonie Mac to +. Melonie is a well-known content creator in the games space, but her disposition is notably different from that of her peers. Openly Christian and politically conservative, Melonie doesn't fit the mold of most industry women. By remaining true to herself, Melonie is something different in ...

Steven Spielberg's 1998 film Saving Private Ryan is widely considered the greatest war movie of all-time, and honestly, it's hard to disagree. There's an absolutely obsessive level of detail in every single aspect of the production, and it gets just about everything right. See, in 1944, the world was a different place than it...

It's mailbag time! I (Colin) selected 27 inquiries from a recent thread on a variety of games-related topics, from defending myself on Xbox podcasts and the siren call of Metroidvanias to my perceived lack of respect for Team Asobi and Naughty Dog's seemingly-falling star within the first party family. Other subjects covered ...

Is PlayStation missing an element of 'fun' that used to be present in its ecosystem? One listener wrote in with such a thought, revolving his argument around one key figure from yore: Kevin Butler. The long-lost fictional Sony executive represented a different time for PlayStation. The question is, do we want to go back? News...

For many, this episode's title will seem like a cheap attempt at console war bait, but fret not for it is a legitimate question worth asking. Thanks to the Brazilian government, we have a very transparent view of a rare interaction between PlayStation and Xbox where the two wage a war of their own on the value of exclusivity....

India is the second most-inhabited country on Earth, and in just a few years, it'll be at the top of the heap. There are 1.4 billion people and counting there -- that's 'billion' with a 'B' -- an astounding four-plus times America's population, so when it comes to market economics, well, that's a whole lot of prospective cust...

We -- the Brothers Moriarty -- loved us some Ninja Gaiden in our younger years. The NES original is actually a vague reinterpretation of an arcade title by the same name that preceded it; yet, in turning Ninja Gaiden from a beat-'em-up into an action-platformer, developer Tecmo spawned a powerhouse that easily rivals oth...

When it comes down to it, we play the same types of games all the time. Shooting guns, swinging swords, and clearing objectives is fantastic, but every once in a while, a game comes along that brings a fresh new angle. Stray, from BlueTwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive, may not be the first game where you play as a cat, ...

On Episode 213 of Sacred Symbols, we shared a leak concerning the upcoming Tomb Raider game. Square Enix-owned developer Crystal Dynamics took exception and DMCA'd us through Patreon, effectively forcing our hand.

An ex-studio head indicates Sony is indeed interested in purchasing Square Enix, Rockstar has some players nervous about Grand Theft Auto VI's apparently 'woke' transformation, PS5's timed-exclusive KOTOR remake has been binned, EA is apparently working on a Black Panther game, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is PlayStati...

News has begun to roll out of Ubisoft that shows them sprinting in multiple different directions at once. From the platform based live service Assassin's Creed game to a tighter and less expansive entry in the series all the way to a heaping four games cancelled, a lot is happening for them and not much of it sounds good. As ...

In a world where Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard King could potentially finalize in the near future, there are still questions that remain. Is Xbox done acquiring studios? If not, what are some potential targets that make sense for Xbox Games Studios and the ecosystem as a whole? Cog enlists his fellow Iron L...
