Sacred Symbols+, Episode 200: The Making of Super Perils of Baking

Today, I (Colin) have brought together the entire team that made my developer's newest game: Super Perils of Baking. For the uninitiated, I co-own an indie studio called Lillymo, and we just released our fifth game, which is a remake of our very first. Making the game was interesting, fun, challenging, and fluid. It was origi...

KnockBack, Episode 228: Game of Thrones (Season Seven)

We won't lie: The going gets a little rough from this juncture on. HBO's Game of Thrones series, by this point in its run, had far-outstripped its source material. As such, they're flying on fumes through the seven episodes of the seventh season. Released in 2017, this penultimate offering is controversial to say the lea...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 199: VRAF

At six million units sold, PlayStation VR is no longer the best-selling virtual reality headset ever released. It has, however, found itself a solid niche on Sony's consoles, and it's obvious that the Japanese megacorporation believes in the technology. To look at PlayStation VR -- its past, its present, and its future -- I (...

Defining Duke, Episode 76: The Aftermath Of The Xbox & Bethesda Showcase

We're days removed from the Xbox & Bethesda showcase as well as the extended one on Tuesday meaning all the announcements, trailers, and news are out in the wild. With that, there is much to sift through such as new Starfield details, a Fallout 5 confirmation by the Toddfather himself, and some possibly worrying Redfall n...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 72: An In-Depth & Critical Look At Starfield

Starfield is without a doubt Xbox's biggest game of the generation as of this moment in time. It is a game they absolutely must nail to make a statement to current and future consumers that their platform is also a home to excellent exclusives. Beyond that, it is a tell-all of the impact Xbox can have on exclusives they inves...

Please welcome Vince Ingenito back to +. Vince is a long-time industry veteran, critic, streamer, and -- for our purposes -- a bona fide fighting game expert.

KnockBack, Episode 227: The Pool (Redux)

Here in America -- and certainly in many other parts of the world -- swimming pools are a fundamental part of our summer tradition. Whether above-ground or inground, whether vinyl, fiberglass, or concrete, whether shared, community, or private, if you live in the USA and it's summertime, chances are you will readily encounter...

The big day has finally arrived. After months of rumors, speculation, and bold predictions, we have now seen everything the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase for 2022 has to offer. As Cog has to aptly put it, it's a journey through many peaks and valleys. For it is here that we see Starfield for the first time ever, Persona ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 197: Gaming While Russian

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has completely roiled the world. Thousands are dead, economies, currencies, and societies are suffering, and we're walking headlong into a global food crisis in the coming months, too. The results for Ukraine are obviously most devastating, but what's happened within Russia's borders is a little m...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 206: The Return of Them

Joel and Ellie are set to return to PlayStation, and a lot sooner than you might think. The long-rumored The Last of Us: Part I is real -- it's a ground-up remake of the 2013 PS3 original, slated for PS5 and later PC -- and it comes out in just a few months. But that's not all: Naughty Dog has also opened-up about not only it...

One of the most difficult pieces of hardware to get your hands on is the Steam Deck. There is a lot of intrigue surrounding Valve's entry into the handheld space, so I decided to bring an expert on to discuss the ins-and-outs of it all. Joining me is Jimmy ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 196: eFootball and the Sports F2P Revolution

There's no doubt that I (Colin) like to talk about eFootball where I can. Not only do I feel like it's important for us to discuss everything on PlayStation at least a lil bit; I'm actually intrigued by Konami's free-to-play soccer game for another reason: I truly believe it's the canary in the coalmine of what's to come for ...

KnockBack, Episode 226: The Terminator

James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi/horror flick The Terminator isn't so much underappreciated as it is oft-overlooked. After all, this film's sequel is one of the most famous action and sci-fi movies of all-time, but its predecessor is something more stayed, grounded, and thrilling. Intertwining themes of nuclear war and time travel...
