Upcoming June 2024 Games and Harvest Hunt and Little Kitty, Big City Reviews
Remember the days of Pitfall's pixelated peril, or the cosmic carnage of Astro Smash? Join us as we discuss gaming yesteryear, courtesy of our nostalgia-fueled icebreaker. Share your own foundational gaming memories as we explore what makes a game carve a permanent niche in our hearts.
We also look ahead to June and discuss our top 3 most anticipated games for June.
And there's more! We put the spotlight on action-adventure games that have defined the genre, from the stealthy corridors of Arkham Asylum to swinging through the city in Spiderman. Our passionate exchange isn't just about the games themselves—it's about the stories they tell and the worlds they invite us to inhabit.
But we don't just look back with rose-colored glasses; we are also firmly fixed on the latest gaming thrills that keep our controllers gripped. From discussing Hi-Fi Rush to Harvest Hunt, and Little Kitty, Big City, we cover the breadth of gaming's diverse landscape.
Get ready to join a dialogue that's unafraid to challenge the status quo of gaming opinions.

Speaker 2:Phil, welcome to the show oh hail King Phil.
Speaker 1:Wow, now you're king.
Speaker 2:I mean, you gotta start somewhere.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you started as president and CEO and now you moved up to king?
Speaker 2:No, I started as a peon. Then I bought the company out from under you and you weren't paying any attention, that's true. And then I just declared myself a king because I feel as though people want to kill me because I'm a parent.
Speaker 1:Wow, well, king of the ring, if you will, phil, welcome to the show, thanks for having me. And of course, we have my good friend and co-host mike welcome.
Speaker 3:Can I be a squire?
Speaker 2:be my queen, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:And let us do the wild yeah, um, I want to call this out and I know we don't talk about. Actually, this is a good time to promote any wrestling podcasts that are out, but I'm going to throw this out there that WWE really missed an opportunity. I'm sorry, but King and Queen of the Ring is a terrible name. They should have just called it the Ring Royals or the Royals of the ring or something like that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no kidding. Well, I think part of that might be the tongue better than king and queen of the ring.
Speaker 2:I think part of that might also be you don't want to incorporate royalty just because of the royal rumble, and then suddenly you're just dipping your feet too heavily into the R word.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, well, phil, I mean you guys have a podcast Besides this one, besides this one, uh, turns out.
Speaker 2:I really like listening to my own voice.
Speaker 1:That I hate you do like listening to your own voice.
Speaker 2:You listen no, I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't listen to any of it any of that, okay, but what's the other podcast? You should just plug it here. What's the other podcast?
Speaker 2:it's the oh my podcast, my podcast, the oh my Podcast, oh my Podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Which I would give you the Twitter link for it. And that's, oh, my Podcast. In parentheses, I believe it's OMP Wrestling on Twitter. It is OMP Wrestling on Twitter, just to throw a quick little plug in there. Nice, I'd give you the email address, but I don't remember that off the top of my head because my head does not work.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, yeah, go check it out. I got to listen to a couple episodes and I really enjoy it and it helps because I am behind on my wrestling and you guys do a nice job covering wrestling.

Speaker 2:Let me check the yeah, it took like a week and a half. I don't understand the way that like again, I'm not a smart person, I just run businesses for a living, um, but I don't understand how certain things work. Like they started, amazon started to sell the sauce before they had even received the sauce, which doesn't really make any sense, but so I mean, I wasn't complaining, I'm just saying I'm excited I'm getting my sauce oh no, we were complaining about it I want my sauce, damn it.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, I'm excited we were like, why did you guys put this shit up live if you don't even have like the product in the house yet and yet you're selling them to people? But but who's not to say that? Like we'll say, it's on the back of an 18-wheeler, the 18-wheeler tips over. Sauce bottles explode everywhere. Oh yeah, like, how do you sell things that you don't have in hand? Yeah, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 1:But I think I'm going to make some wings with my yum yum sauce. That's the first thing.
Speaker 3:I'm going to put mine in Captain.
Speaker 2:Crunch.
Speaker 1:That's a bold move. You tell me how that is. We'll compare notes, but that's Seven Bridges sauce, right? Yum Yum sauce.

But thank goodness for Magic Mind because seriously, it just a rough week. Uh, but thank goodness for magic mind because seriously it was a rough week and, uh, I would.

So I do have an icebreaker for you guys, and this icebreaker I was just thinking about this the other day because I was thinking about the game that I first played. But what was the first video game you ever played and what do you remember about that experience? So, phil, I'll start with you. Remember about that experience. So, phil, I'll start with you.
Speaker 2:The first one that I can actively recall playing that. I know I'd played others before, but the first one that really stuck out in my brain was Pitfall on the Atari, and I just remember thinking what am I doing in this game? Why can't I stop playing and fuck these scorpions?
Speaker 3:Sorry, I made it six minutes and 41 seconds. Does anybody ever go left in Pitfall?
Speaker 2:I definitely remember going both left and right in Pitfall Not that it made any kind of a difference, would you say Pitfall was the first roguelike?
Speaker 3:No, because the levels are all the same. Yeah, I thought they changed it. I thought it's not random. I don't know, I don't think it's random.
Speaker 1:I think you don't pre-programmed it's not like you get progress right. I mean, it's more like arcadia.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no you don't really make progress. Yeah, it was more arcadey, uh, but pitfall is the first one that stands out in my brain that I remember playing uh that I really spent time with. I mean, I know that I know for a fact that I also played like river raid. I obviously played pong and space invaders and missile command, all that stuff, but pitfall was the one that I remember grinding the most on thinking that I could make some progress in the game and I never really did yeah, did you play that on atari?
Speaker 1:where did you play that on?
Speaker 2:yep, absolutely yeah, nice.
Speaker 1:Um mike, was that atari 2600? I have to ask, was that atari 2600?
Speaker 2:I would assume it was okay.
Speaker 1:It was yeah uh, mike, what was your first game and what do you remember about that experience?
Speaker 3:I'm trying to remember exactly like how far back I can remember, and I do remember distinctly um playing astro smash on the television I never played that. Okay, that game I obsessed over, and actually my dad loved it too, so I I would just sit and watch him play. My dad also played cubert a lot oh yeah, on the television.
Speaker 3:So that one but I I remember that being the first one astro smash was basically kind of like uh, like um, that one I guess like a galaga almost, or like a miss, not a missile command. So it's like a like a galaga, but you're not in space. What's that? Zaxxon? Or zaxxon yes, so you're basically on the ground and you're just moving back and forth and asteroids will randomly come down and you get points, obviously, and when you get X amount of points, the color scheme changes. That's the big thing that you got.
Speaker 3:But there would be large asteroids that if you blast that, they split into two smaller ones there would be like large asteroids that if you blast that they split into two smaller ones and the the. Obviously the point is to just rack up a score without getting blown up by one of them. But then there was always like these, like spinning ones that would make the uh make a really annoying sound as they got closer and closer to the ground. So that's the one I remember. That's. I think that's the farthest back I can remember in terms of uh, in terms of the game yeah, the first one I've ever played nice, I loved astro smash. Actually that's what made me somewhat consider getting an amico.
Speaker 1:Thank god I didn't pre-order it yeah, did you hear, did you see the news today?
Speaker 3:I know that's our segue into yeah, yeah, yeah there we go.
Speaker 1:Uh, yeah, atari bought uh television I'm excited about that.
Speaker 3:Have you seen, like, what atari has been doing, like they've been putting out some good stuff yeah like the rebut, the re uh revamps of some of their classic stuff yeah uh, and and the collections with, with a lot of the uh digital info.
Speaker 1:Uh has done a lot of that, those games too, that's. It's really cool um yeah.
Speaker 3:So if I could, we can get an intellivision collection.
Speaker 2:That would be freaking awesome I'm surprised they haven't done one yet they did.
Speaker 3:They did an intellivision collection on the ps1, I think. And then xbox 360 uh it, I think it was more towards the end of its life released something I think it was called like xbox live and it was an xbox live arcade, but it was some kind of arcade thing where you can go into this virtual arcade and purchase um games really and astro, astro smash was one of them. So I remember playing astro smash once again on my Xbox 360.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's cool. For me, the very first game I remember playing is Pong on a Pong machine. So my and I didn't know this until recently. I didn't know how we got that Pong machine, but my mom said that it was my godmother that bought it for us as a Christmas gift and it was my parents bedroom and they had a TV in their room. You know was like you know the old tv, right, there's no remote or anything. And uh, and yeah, I remember sitting there playing pong with the with the, you know the wired little paddle little paddle.
Speaker 1:Uh, that was really fun and like I don't. It's interesting to hear, like you say that you know you remember your dad playing games. Like my parents didn't really play games but they did play Pong. They did play Tetris too. My dad played Tetris, but mine too, but they didn't really play games but but those games they did, but yeah, he did play, they did play Pong with me, but they didn't really like it. Like that was the funny thing, like because my brother is two years younger than me and I think I was like five or six when we got pong and um, he couldn't, he wasn't really playing with me and my parents was like, yeah, whatever, like I had a future in pong. Guys, I think I had a future.
Speaker 3:You just hear your parents in the room yelling these graphics suck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, right, they didn't. No, they actually. I think they were pretty impressed with it, but, but the fun thing is. So when I was at PAX East this year, I did review Qwomp 2, which is the pong ball escaping pong and going on an adventure, right, and there's puzzles and stuff. It's a pretty neat game. But I wore my pong shirt when I met with Atari. I met with Atari at PAX East and the wore my pong shirt. Uh, when I met with atari, I met with atari at pax east and, uh, and the people behind the, the booth were like, oh, I love your shirt, and then they gave me a pong uh pin. So I have a pong pin, which is very cool, um, yeah, so I don't know, I loved, I loved, I mean, but yeah, that was not atari, but still it. Still, it still had a pong and they're just like that was cool. Um, but pong was really cool. I liked pong. And then my the first console like outside the pong machine was Atari 2600 and played a lot of those games.
Speaker 2:So for some reason the the phrase I had a future in pong reminds me a lot of there's always money in the banana.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah right.
Speaker 2:I don't know why but the two just seem to go hand in hand to me.
Speaker 1:I know I feel the banana. Yeah, yeah, right. I don't know why, but the two just seem to go hand in hand to me. I know I feel like that would have been. I could have been the first esports star playing pong right, you could have been pong guy 69 it'd be pong bro yeah, uh, yeah. So uh, well, listeners, what was your first game?
Speaker 3:What was your first game In the middle of that?
Speaker 1:conversation. I was like I don't know what even the question was. That was the problem. I was like what was your first game, what was your first game you ever played and what was the experience? Let us know? You can send us a tweet at gamer heads pod. Uh, you can also go on our website and leave us a message there.
Speaker 2:that's a gamer has podcastcom until your first game was not speaking, no, it was not speaking spell, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:Like I mean, who do you guys? If that happens again and I continue, you know that I'm probably having a stroke. You better call somebody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, probably having a stroke you, better call somebody. Yeah, dude, I got your address, I'll call somebody.
Speaker 1:All right, so let's move on, then, from our icebreaker, and I'm looking ahead. I want to look ahead at June.
Speaker 3:All the way to the year 2000?.
Speaker 1:The year 2000.
Speaker 3:Thank you for touching that.
Speaker 1:So I wanted to talk about your top three games that are coming out in June. June, you have more than three. I was going to say June seems like kind of a smaller list than May did, for me at least. Well, mike, I'll start with you. I'll start with you then, mike, it sounds like Mike's.
Speaker 3:If you want to know if there's more than three, then you'll have to subscribe to to listen to the rest of this episode. That's right, that's right it's behind a paywall that's right. Um sure, I'll go first.
Speaker 3:The first thing I'm gonna the the first thing I'm gonna call out is I'm gonna actually kind of break the rules a little bit because I'm calling out a late may game that dropped on my radar just because of a trailer that recently hit and that is going to be comes out, I think, this upcoming tuesday multiverses I am going jason vorhees as part of the first battle pass yes, yes and yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I am going to be all over that. And then Agent Smith, they're going to put in there too.
Speaker 1:Oh cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can't wait. I mean, if they're putting Jason Voorhees in it like now Pennywise, I'm sure they're going to throw Pennywise in there.
Speaker 1:Do they have?
Speaker 3:Yeah, Warner Brothers owns. Oh, really yeah oh wow so, and all I need now? All I need now is Mordecai and Rigby from regular show, and then I'll be like all right, I don't need to play any other games, this is all I need.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did see the trailer for the Joker as well. That was pretty.
Speaker 3:Joker's been done to death.
Speaker 1:I know, but it did sound like Mark Hamill's voice.
Speaker 3:It is Okay. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1:Mark Hamill Okay, so that's cool yeah.
Speaker 3:So that's May 28th, so I'm bending the rules.
Speaker 1:But that game is weird, though right, because it was out and then it was oh, it was a beta, it was a beta, and then Was it a beta Wait it's not officially out yet no it was in beta.
Speaker 3:It was in beta then they. Then they stopped the beta but you could still play it. It was still downloadable. But the game officially releases because they got feedback, they, they moved it to unreal engine 5. Um, they add a lot of quality of life stuff. It's no longer just like matches, there's a single player mode and the game is free that's pretty awesome actually all right, it's on my radar yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 3:there's online co-op, if I'm not mistaken oh, wow, so okay, okay like the, like the, the, the um. Story mode, I think, is online co-op. I'm not positive. You have to double check me on that and together. Who's our fact checker? We need our fact checker involved I mean none of us for three dollars a month, for $3 a month, what?
Speaker 1:does it come out on Xbox?
Speaker 3:it's only Xbox and PS5 and Steam cool, awesome.
Speaker 1:Okay, that was your cheat. Do you have two others?
Speaker 3:or three others well, no, I'm not going to take this one, since I only have two left. I'll give this one to Phil. Phil, you know which one I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:I was going to say that one too.
Speaker 3:I'll give it to either one of you. We can all be excited for the same game.
Speaker 1:You can mention it, it's fine.
Speaker 3:Alright, fine, I'll call it out Luigi's Mansion 2.
Speaker 1:Yep, I knew Phil was going to.
Speaker 3:Damn it.
Speaker 1:That is on my list. Is it really?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've only got two games on my list, and that's one of them. I'm not going to buy Luigi's Mansion, but if I was going to, I'd get that one.
Speaker 3:Okay, so we have it on the switcherino. And then, if I am not mistaken, we saw this trailer during the game awards and it was very intriguing and I should probably have looked it up before I said this. But that game still wakes the deep.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, mm.
Speaker 3:I think it's like an overhead, like an isometric action game, if I'm not mistaken. No, oh, it's a horror game. Oh, it's a horror game, that's why I liked it? No, that's not the one I was thinking of, but you know what? Yeah.
Speaker 1:And also in like water. So I'm not going to play.
Speaker 3:It's a survival horror game that takes place on an oil rig.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that doesn't sound like my game. I will be excited. Yeah, it sounds, it sounds awesome that sounds amazing. I think there's like a creature in the water that will kill you sounds so fun you ever seen underwater.
Speaker 3:That's a good one, phil. You ever seen that one? Who's the weird looking girl that always looks like like she's staring off into space and bites her lip all the time?
Speaker 1:her name's Rachel does she listen to this podcast?
Speaker 3:Absolutely not. I forgot her name but she's in that movie and it's really good Underwater Roger you should watch it.
Speaker 1:I'm not watching that.
Speaker 3:Oh, come on, I got it on my Vudu. I'll give you the password.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, sure, Anything else?
Speaker 3:Mike, I try, every week I try. I try to get Roger into a horror game or a horror movie, and every week I fail.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 3:But someday.
Speaker 1:Someday, someday.
Speaker 3:No, that's it. That's all I got. I'll give you guys the rest.
Speaker 2:Okay, Phil what do you got? Well, I've now added Still Wakes the Deep onto my list, now that Mike has told me what that sounds like. I wasn't kidding when I said luigi's mansion 2, because I am a big fan of the luigi's mansion mansion franchises. And then obviously, the big one is going to be killer clowns from outer space, which is one of the one of the. I went to the same speech school that roger. Uh, that is one of my favorite of the cheesy ass horror movies and I do enjoy that style of game where it's team based versus team based. And yeah, I don't know what else I can say about Killer Clowns from Outer Space. If you don't know what it is, you should probably just quit listening right now and watch the movie. Yes, mike.
Speaker 3:I got something to say about Killer Clowns from Outer Space. I was watching that recently and instead of like yeah, the movie so, and instead of like the funny, cheesy approach to it, I took a serious look at it and I got to tell you this man, the, I can't think of a more scary or painful way to die than being trapped in one of those cotton candy cocoons.
Speaker 2:Think about it, you're completely compressed, you can't move.
Speaker 3:Meanwhile, something is slowly like turning you into blood. No, like gosh, it just turns't move.
Speaker 1:Meanwhile, something is slowly turning you into blood.
Speaker 3:No like gosh, it just turns you into blood.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, Don't they suck that out Like I forget, Don't they?
Speaker 3:suck that out, you basically.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they drink it through crazy straws. Yeah, drink it through crazy straws, but the cotton candy melts you. But the cotton candy melts you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh yeah, like that's gotta be, man, that's gotta be, that's a way to go.
Speaker 2:There was a time in my life that I did take the movie seriously. I was probably like eight years old and it kind of did freak me out a little bit, but it was probably ten, let's be real. But like hindsight, you watch it and it's super cheesy in the best possible way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, were those your games. Then Do you have anything else? No, that's all I got. I also have Killer Clowns yeah, that looks cool. Star Wars Hunters I'm a fan of Star Wars, so I want to try that.
Speaker 1:What is Hunters. I think that's not the Outlaws one. No, it's not the Outlaws one. I think this one not the Outlaws no, it's not the Outlaws one. I think this one's the one where it's a yeah, I think you compete in an arena, that's what I was going to say. I think it's a player versus player, free to play, type game. So it's an arena type game. I mean, I'm not expecting big things from this game, but it might be okay. It might be okay, uh. And then the other game that I am really looking forward to is neo sprint. Uh, speaking of atari, this is actually an atari game, sprint, and they, uh are remaking it, remastering it. I think it's a remake, actually, because remaster is something different. So, yeah, it's a remake. Um, and yeah, it's uh, if you, you, you both like rc pro m, right, you like that. And um, I remember sprint on the atari. Did you like? Uh, what was that?
Speaker 2:off-road game, super off-road ivan the iron man, yeah, yeah, yeah absolutely, yeah, you guys would like this game a lot.
Speaker 1:Then I got to play this at pax, uh, at pax east. So if you want to see my preview of that game, my first impressions, you can go to our website at gamer has podcastcom to read that, um, but it's cool because it has, uh, a lot of the uh, atari, uh, like decals and stuff like. So you can like, like you know, customize your car so, like you have a centipede car, you can have a pawn car, you can have like all these really cool cars. It looks cool and, yeah, it's. I think it's online too. I'm not 100 sure, but I think you can play. I think, we think. I think they said eight players can play at the same time. Um, I think there was only like four or five of us that played when I, when I was at pax east, um, but it's, it's pretty cool. So it's a cool game. If you liked rc pro, if you liked, uh, super off-road, it's very, very much in line with that. So, um, so that's coming out at the end of june, I think the 27th, I think that's when I saw that. So, uh, yeah, so those are the games that I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 1:Um, the next segment. Here I have a new segment, guys, uh, because I want to want to try something new here. Uh, this segment I'm calling genre giants. So in this segment, uh, I choose a specific genre and then each of us pick three games within that genre, what we think are the top games in that genre and why we like those games. So this week, the genre is action-adventure games, and these games often feature a mix of puzzle-solving, exploration and combat, providing a well-rounded and engaging gaming experience. These games are also known for their immersive storylines, dynamic gameplay and often rich, open worlds. So I have three games, but I'll start with Phil this time. Phil, what is your genre giants for action adventure games? Can I cheat? As long as it's an action adventure game, sure.
Speaker 2:I'm taking the entire Arkham series oh.
Speaker 1:That's not cheating. I'll allow that.
Speaker 2:I'll allow that. It's Batman in video game form. It was Batman done well and good for the very first time. I should have put that fantastic. I could easily go back and play any of those games all over again and not complain about it the slightest bit uh, did you like origins? I didn't hate origins. It wasn't my favorite of them, but like it still didn't suck, I played all the way through it, yeah no, I liked, I thought it was okay too.
Speaker 1:I wanted to start with that one. I started with um, asylum, but then I was like I should go back and play origins first before I finished the other one. So I did and, um, it was okay, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 2:I just, when you play arkham it's like oh yeah, the auctions isn't as good, but it's still it's no, it's just a little flat, but, like the entire series is, as, being a big batman fan like I am, uh, I love the immersive world of gotham city, regardless of what aspect they took me on. I'm not going to include gotham knights on it, because that thing was a steaming pile of shit, but it was still better than suicide squad, yeah I can't believe that.
Speaker 1:Uh, so unbelievable. Um, cool, yeah, no, that's, that's, that's I. Yeah that I actually changed one of my answers due to your answer, but it's not the same. But, uh, but that is a really good pick. I totally forgot about the arkham series. So good, good pick.
Speaker 2:Um, those are all you are this, all three of yours, four, if you will oh, I could have done that that way, but I mean, I have other, oh good oh good, I wasn't quite sure.
Speaker 1:If you're like, that's it, I'm done.
Speaker 2:No I wasn't sure if we were gonna do this like, almost like draft style oh, do you want to go around? Yeah, no, we can do that yeah, well, that was kind of what I was thinking. That's why I paused. I didn't really follow.
Speaker 1:No, that's good. All right, mike. What's your? What's your? What's one of your games on your list?
Speaker 2:Sandbox games. Sandbox games, phil's favorite, just all of them.
Speaker 3:I don't mind sandbox games. I mean depending on the one like on how much there is, like a sandbox game like horizon? Absolutely not, because there's just way too much to collect. Um, this is tough because there's a lot of them out there that, um, that we should do like the our top 30, but I'm gonna actually throw out there, prince of persia, the sands of time, nice, I remember that was one of those games where I was like, okay, just one more save, just one more save, just one more save.
Speaker 3:Ending was a little abrupt and I was like, oh, that remember. That was one of those games where I was like, okay, just one more save, just one more save, just one more save. Ending was a little abrupt and I was like, oh, that was interesting. But that gameplay experience, like that parkour and everything and then rewinding time, it was one of the things that worked for me for an action-adventure game. Is that feel, that magical feeling, like, oh, that you're, that you're, like you're really immersed in it.
Speaker 1:And prince of persia the sands of time really did that for me nice, uh, for me, um, this is an interesting pick because I'll explain why, and then I'll tell you my pick and explain why it's interesting, because that's what we're going to do here. I'm ready to boot. Ghosts of Tsushima. So, prior to this game, I would say that Tenshu would have been on this list because I loved Tenshu. Tenshu was badass, but then Ghosts of Tsushima came out and I was like, ooh, this is like 10 times better than Tenshu.
Speaker 1:I, I love ghost of the shima. Like I, I haven't finished it for the reasons of that we've talked about previously on podcasts. I don't want this experience to end so like, I'm slowly taking my time through that game and I'm constantly like, oh, I haven't explored there. Well, actually I did, but I'm gonna go back there anyway because it was cool, right? So I, that game is so good and you feel so badass in that game, and our and our good friend jordan, uh, had a big hand in the writing of a lot of that game. So, um, but yeah, I really like ghost of the sheep.
Speaker 2:That's one of my favorite open world games shout out to that game for getting me through COVID the first time, because I just lived in the basement and all I did was play Ghost of Tsushima, yeah, yeah, and then I'd pass out in my chair.
Speaker 1:I remember that, I remember that, I remember those days. Yep, yeah, so that's my pick. Phil, what's your next pick?
Speaker 2:I got to give love to Red Dead. I'll even take the second one, like it was. In my opinion, red dead two, maybe even red dead one, is, uh, rocks, rock steady. Now I'm still thinking of arkham, uh, rockstar's finest accomplishment, just because nobody had ever really done the wild west well until rockstar got their hands on it and just gave you that entire world, the variables between all the different landscapes, all the different activities you could do, the gun slinging, the notoriety that you could amass. Like red dead 2 may have been damn near the a perfect game. Like I love that game. That game sucked my life away and I stare at it. Sometimes I'm like I should pop this back in. I'm like, no, I can't because I won't play anything else.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I like that game, mike? Didn't we play that together? We went on a couple of online adventures together, didn't we? Yeah, yeah, that was fun. Yeah, good game. What about you, mike? What's your next pick?
Speaker 3:So for my next two picks, I'm trying to go with something that I'm thinking that neither of you would pick, or something that's a little out of the ordinary, because obviously there's our mario 64, there's tomb raider games, which I'll obviously have a big place in my heart, but one game that really really hit me when I was playing was shadow of the colossus oh yeah, that's a really and I may have mentioned this before a long, long, long time ago on Galaxy Far Away, but I played Shadow of the Colossus at the perfect time of year for me.
Speaker 3:I started playing it in September and I remember when I was playing it I had the windows open and it was that crisp yet still warm air and like the, the, the leaves, you know, um, the sound of the leaves, uh, you know, blowing around on the ground and everything like that, and for some reason that matched the game perfectly for me as I was playing it, and just the, the exhilaration while climbing up the colossi and you know, and then falling off and grabbing on at the very last possible second.
Speaker 3:The music, the silence in the game, like, even when there's no music, when it's just total silence, it's just like it's so like creepy yet calm, like creepy, yet calm. Uh, and then like, but then when, like, you fight against the colossus in the water, that was like that scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, um, and then obviously the ending and everything. That's like one of those. That was one of those games where I just put the controller down and I just sat and just like contemplated my life afterwards. So yeah, shadow the colossus, that's definitely one of them yeah, good goal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that ending was really good. I mean, like you knew where that was heading, but jeez, it was still really good, right, like, um, yeah, that was a good game. Yeah, I can't, but was that a ps2 game? Well, that was a ps2 game, wasn't it? Jeez, unbelievable. That game was so good. Uh, phil, what's your next pick?
Speaker 2:no, it's not, it's your. Oh, it's my pick, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1:Um, so for me actually, uh kind of going off the same lines that you did bill with batman minus spider-man, uh the yep and so good um which first time which version of spider-man well yeah, that's a great game too, the atari 2600 spider-man.
Speaker 3:I'm not even joking, that game was awesome.
Speaker 2:So, or the playstation 1, one that ran off the tony hawk engine. That was a great comic book covers yeah, yeah, I did like that one.
Speaker 1:I did like that one a lot. No, uh, so originally I would say spider-man 3. No, spider-man, is it spider-man 3?
Speaker 3:yeah, it was considered the best two, okay two.
Speaker 2:Spider-man 2, you're talking when it came to open world yeah, it came to open world like xbox 360 type of era I remember it was yeah, you're right, three wasn't as good.
Speaker 1:Two was really good because that was the one who got the pizza right. You know, you had yeah, yeah, uh, but then the the newest one, like the, the one that came out, I don't know, 2016, is it 2018? I think 2018.
Speaker 2:Well, they've done two or three since then too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I haven't yeah, I haven't played miles and I haven't played spider-man 2 either yet, so I need to. But the first one just blew me away, like, like, and I like I said the second one was my favorite up to that point and I was like they have to do a lot to win me over from that one, because I really liked that one a lot. Um, but this one did, and one of the things I really appreciated about it was that spider-man didn't go splat when he fell, like yeah, he kind of just hit the spider-man yeah exactly where in spider-man 2 he did go splat.
Speaker 1:If he fell far enough he would die, uh, but there was there's. It still has a special place in my heart because, uh, it was a fun. That one was a really fun game and it was really good. But this, this, this one, just I just felt like a comic book playing through it too.
Speaker 2:So good I'll chime in a couple of things to that, if you don't mind, uh, number one is it was one of the first games that actually made me feel like a superhero, yeah, which really kind of spoke to. I'm a comic nerd, as anybody who's ever listened to the show knows, uh, but it really made me feel like a superhero. And number two is that was a game that I live in a state now where recreational marijuana is legal. I used to just get high and swing around the fucking city, man, like just because it was so much fun to do, like it was so fluid at the time and it felt just so real and the physics were right, like it was just a, it was peaceful, like I seriously would just sit there and just swing through the city for 30 minutes and I wouldn't do anything else, I'd just go web climbing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that was yeah. And the so many collectibles and you could take all the different pictures and stuff like that. Oh, that was so good. That was so good, such a good game. Alright, now, phil. Now it's your turn.
Speaker 2:I kind of wanted to pull a mic and go with a deep dive and a deep take on this and I was going to say the game PsyOps, which was also a PlayStation 2 game.
Speaker 2:Which I felt that more in my soul than in my heart, where it was just kind of a game and for those that haven't played it, you have psychic abilities and you can manipulate the environment to attack enemies and things like that. It's a super highly underrated game. But I have to go with my true feelings and I have to say the first Bioshock I know we talked about it, I believe it was off the air, but that's a game that just it holds near and dear to my heart, just because of how well it was done, how well the environment was done, how well the sound was done Everything about that game just screamed creepiness and was gorgeous. At the same time it was a game that I actually chased all the audio logs for and things like that, because I wanted to know the backstory, I wanted to know what thing that happened to the city. I I adore bioshock and just that entire series I adore, but the first one in particular was just kind of mind-blowing for me yeah, good pick makes me yours, mike no bioshock.
Speaker 3:Um, I chased all the audio logs and I only missed one, which was the one that you get when you first land at the lighthouse oh no, and I could not go back to get it. So in order to get that achievement, I would have had to have played the game all the way over from the beginning oh, no but I love. I love bioshock because I love the way that the game started off, scaring the hell out of me like I it was.
Speaker 3:It was a one of my. One of the greatest jump scares for me in video games was the dentist's office and bioshock. Um, and then the game eventually evolved into more, more of an action and action, actiony game. But by the end I felt like a total badass and I'm just like going around like destroying everybody absolutely so it's really cool how my emotions changed from the start of the game towards the end.
Speaker 2:It still kept the creepy vibe the entire time.
Speaker 3:Especially when you had the I forgot his name but the mannequin dude, the guy with all the rabbit masks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't remember his name either, but I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Cool Mike, what's your next pick?
Speaker 3:Well, since Phil threw out a comic book game and Roger threw out a comic book game, my last pick is also a comic book game. Some people have slept on this, although I do think it got a lot of notoriety when it first released and I ended up. I think I grabbed this when I worked at Blockbuster and I just kept it for like three months Spawn.
Speaker 2:They're doing a reboot of that movie.
Speaker 3:I thought I read today yeah, they're working on that. Yeah, hbo series was still the best it was spawn.
Speaker 1:Yep sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean.
Speaker 3:That's all right uh, and this actually was, and this game was very surprising because it was based on a movie and everyone's like why is this so good? It's based on a movie well the movie wasn't that good, but the game was widely known to be much better than the movie. It didn't really. I don't think it followed the plot of the movie a whole lot.
Speaker 3:It just released at the same time and that game was x-men origins wolverine oh, yeah, yeah, good call and if you haven't played that game, track it down at a local resale shop or something and pop it into your 360. I think it was also on PS3. But that game, now that is what a Wolverine game is about. You're chopping off arms and legs, there's like cinematic style finishing moves, there's like you know cool collectibles to find, and it's just a really good game. Like you, you have that like visceral Wolverine berserker.
Speaker 2:It goes to a pretty penny Holy hell Does it? I mean it's more expensive than I thought it would be.
Speaker 3:Was it like $25?
Speaker 2:I'm seeing $60s.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, you know what? Even at that point it's worth it.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah, X-Men Origins.
Speaker 1:You can get it on the Wii for $10.
Speaker 3:Well, you can get it on the Wii because it's a different game on the Wii and it's rated T as opposed to rated M for the Xbox.
Speaker 2:They toned down all the violence Instead of Clausey as rubber ducks, as he stabs.
Speaker 3:Actually, I would play that. I would play that.
Speaker 1:I'm all in. I did not play this game.
Speaker 3:Try to find it. Try to find it Seriously.
Speaker 1:I was worried because of the fact that the movie was not great. So okay, like, okay yeah, because, because I was worried because of the fact that the movie was not great.
Speaker 2:So, uh, okay, I'll just, I'll depend was that raven studios that did that, or is that in my brain? I?
Speaker 3:don't know. I think it was activision published it's activision.
Speaker 1:Yeah, never mind raven did, uh, the ultimate alliance two games. And then x-men uh, x-men unite and X-Men Apocalypse Was it? X-men Unite, x-men Legends? It was Legends, and Legends 2 was Apocalypse. That's what it was.
Speaker 1:Those are also very good games, too Cool. So for my last pick, I am going to do another. I'm going to do a deep dive here. I'm going to do a game that here. I'm going to do a game that when I first saw it I was so blown away by this game. Just how cool this game was. The premise was weird, but I liked it. And just the music was so good too, and it's still good.
Speaker 1:They remade this game actually and it was actually one of the first games on the eShop, actually for the Switch, and that game is blaster master, oh yeah, um, so the fact that you can get into this tank and you can up, level up your tank and like get all this cool stuff, but then you can get out of your tank and then go into this like you know. So you're a little guy and go to these doors and then you're kind of. You know the ice that was just it was not isometric, it was actually like top-down, it was all side-scrolling until you're inside and then you're kind of a big dude and I was so close to beating that game so close but there was no save states back then, so it was hard. That game was really, really hard. But I played the remake and there are save states in that one. I was like thank god, because I want to beat this game. Uh, it's really good. I really like blaster master it's. It's still one of my favorite games and the music is, oh so, such good, such good music.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, those are our games that we are talking about for the genre giants, for action-packed games. Roger, you lost yourself again. I know I did. Listeners, if you have your favorite action-adventure games, let us know Again. You can send us a tweet at GamerHeadsPod or you can go to our website at gamerheadspodcastcom, leave us a message there and let us know what your favorite action adventure games are, uh, or if you played some other ones we played, let us know that too. Okay, so let's go into the games that we're currently playing. Um and mike, I'll start with. What games are you currently playing?
Speaker 3:Good question, fall Guys. Of course that's what I'm doing, because that's what I do when I want to play a game, but I don't want to get involved in a story or commit to it. What else? The game that I will have a review for I'm still enjoying that, and I'll talk more about that next week, because by then the embargo will have lifted. And then, other than that, I got into Hi-Fi Rush. Oh, how far are you? Honestly, I just played through the first chapter.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And this is. I really love this one. It's kind of tough to get used to the attack, to the beat mechanic, yeah, but the writing and the animation, I love the animation. The writing, the animation, the voice acting, it's all on point. And the boss battle that I did was fun. There was, uh, there's like secret ways to beat the bosses or boss that I the first one.
Speaker 3:I thought there's like a secret way. And I, when I saw the achievement pop, it's like, oh, you found the secret way to to beat the boss. I was like, oh, that's so cool. Uh, high five, rush. And I, actually I I am enjoying it so much that I really think that I'm gonna, when it comes up on, even though I hate limited run games, I think I might buy the physical copy on the Xbox. That's how much I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 2:When you get to the point where you learn how to parry let me know.
Speaker 1:That's the part that I think Phil and I kind of fell off.
Speaker 3:Oh really. Yeah, it gets really hard at that point ah, and then, uh, other than that, uh just playing some mortal combat one, um, just kind of messing around with um, what's his name? The dc guy, uh, peacemaker batman oh yeah, kind of messing around. Peacemaker, yeah, peacemaker, a little bit. Nothing major, I guess. Not playing online, just doing some towers and stuff. Nothing major Other than that. That's pretty much all I have been playing.
Speaker 1:What about you, Phil?
Speaker 2:Well, I've been doing the mic thing, where I play the usuals when I'm trying to unwind at the end of the night. Outside of that, I've put a lot more time into have a nice death, oh yeah, and it's growing on me more and more the more that I play it. I still have not gotten past the second. I'll call it a boss, but I also want to call it a second floor or second tier. At the same time. It's uh, I've gotten a lot better at it, but I just cannot seem to finish the second boss off. The animation is so, so silky smooth and I enjoy it all. The graphics are fantastic, the writing's very humorous. They've got little side quests that are built into it that you just kind of accidentally complete sometimes, which is kind of awesome. Um yeah, I've spent a lot of time with that today. I also popped in the paw patrol game that's on game pass.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we gotta do that, we gotta do that segment.
Speaker 1:Phil's achievement hunts I thought you got all the achievements in that game.
Speaker 2:No, no, I didn't start paw patrol I started paw patrol today and I gotta say I cannot recommend enough that you don't pick this game up, even for free. The it is man. Uh, if I was a four-year-old this game would be super awesome, but I'm not. I've got that plus 42, the. You cannot control the camera behind you, even though it's a 3d platformer style of a game or 3d open world type of game. Like you have to stop moving for the camera to readjust to how you were moving, so you can't just like use your right thumbstick or whatever to adjust it behind you.
Speaker 2:Also, the main character, the person that's, I'm going to say, in charge of the dogs, just talks incessantly and you can't speed up the dialogue or skip the dialogue in any way, shape or form. And let me tell you about how much I do not give a single drop of piss about the dialogue in this game. Single drop of piss about the dialogue in this game. But the achievements are pretty easy. I'm 200 in already and I think I've only played for about an hour. So I'll probably keep playing just to chase achievements, because it's the kind of horror that I am. So, yeah, paw Patrol.
Speaker 1:Don't remember what it's actually called, but it's Paw Patrol, something, something, something, something and it's on Game Pass and it's unless you're chasing achievements it's not worth checking anything else, not that I can recall other than jewel on the xbox app to get my daily points uh, I'll start with a game that I just started, uh, because it just came out and that game is called isles of the sea and sky islesles of Sea and Sky, I should say. So I actually got to interview the developer so you can actually hear that interview on our website at GamerHeadsPodcastcom. And this is a puzzle game. It looks a lot like an NES game, but what's cool about this game is that there's no hand-holding at all. There's no instructions. You just kind of have to figure out the puzzles as you go, and it sounds like that would be really hard. But the puzzles are so well designed that like it makes sense. You're like, oh, this is what I was supposed to do here. Oh, okay, like I get this and and the puzzles, like the puzzles actually scaffold and build on each other. So it's like once you learn something, you apply that to your next puzzle. It's really well done, it's really really good. So he actually talks about that. Jason, the creator, talks about that on our on the on our interview about how how do you build confidence in somebody that's playing a puzzle game Right and they're in, or they're introduced to a new puzzle for the first time? How do you build that confidence. It's really fascinating discussion around design, so go listen to that, uh, at gamerheadspodcastcom.
Speaker 1:Uh, the other game that, uh, I have been playing is, uh, this was part of the uh, I think, I think it's, I think it's an early access too, but it was part of the Steam Fest that just went on. It was like the replayable, endless replayable games, or something. This one's called Enter the Chronosphere. This game is really good. So you are. They only have two players right now. They only have two characters, but there's other characters you can unlock when the full game releases.
Speaker 1:But you pick up these weapons and it's a rogue like Mike. So you probably, you know you may not, yeah, you might want to take off your headset right now. But so you, you basically, are going down to different levels of this, of this chronosphere, and the more deep you get, the more complicated and hard it becomes. And, uh, and what's cool about this game is that when you don't move, everything everything freezes. When you move, everything starts moving again. So it's like this weird, like matrix, the kind of dynamic where you can see bullets coming, you can pause, you can try to move your character, move out of the way as the bullets come also shoot off your gun right, and there's all these different weapons you can pick up. It's such a good game, such an amazing game.
Speaker 1:I can't wait till the full game comes out. Um, but the, the, the early access that's out right now is really well done. So, uh, that is on steam. It's not on anything else right now, just on steam. Uh, let's see, uh, the other games. Then I will talk about um little kitty big city. I've been playing a lot of that. Have either of you played that yet?
Speaker 2:no, rachel wrapped it up, though she didn't like two sittings.
Speaker 1:Oh really yeah oh, yeah, that game is so. That's so cute. I love that game a lot. And there's this funny things you can do in that game, just like, you know, grab somebody's cell phone and run off with it and throw it into the, into the drink. It's hilarious, I love it. Yeah, I, I didn't really like Untitled Goose Game. I remember when I said how much I don't like when that game came out.
Speaker 1:I like this game a lot. I think partly is because the cat there's a story and the cat has a lot of personality and it's a cute cat and like his or her I don't know if it's he or she, I'm not sure, but their interaction with the other animals, like the raccoon is hilarious and the crow is really funny. So I really, I really like this game a lot. So that's, I'll be playing more of that. And and then the last game that I reviewed for gamer heads uh, this isn't usually a roger game, but I actually really like this game a lot because it was really well done. And that's harvest hunt. Uh, that's a steam game. I don't think it's on anything but steam, but this game is a roguelike. But you know, when I found, when I was playing, I was like. I was like take off your headset again. The joke, listeners, if you haven't listened before, is that Mike loves roguelikes. He absolutely adores them. But what's funny about that is I forgot it was a roguelike because as I was playing, I was like, oh yeah, it is a roguelike, but it doesn't feel like a roguelike.
Speaker 1:So the season is broken up into five nights and you are the warden of this village of luna nova. It's a cursed village where there's this devourer, this big monster that goes out and eats all the, all the embrace ambrosia ambrosia is how to pronounce that yeah, yeah, I think so In the fields, and you have to go and collect this and bring it back to your village While trying to avoid this devourer that also will kill you if it sees you. You have a lamp and if you have the lamp on, he can see you. Or it can see you, because I don't know it's a monster, but you can turn off the lamp, but can see you. Or it can see you because I don't, you know it's a monster and uh, but you can turn off the lamp, but then things get dark. Like everything turns dark really fast, like within a few seconds. Um, walking around, you can make noises by like walking on bridges or or bones or like other, like pebbles and stones and stuff like that, and then you can, it can hear you then too. Um, the sound design in this game is really really well done because, like, if you, if you're gonna play this game, you have to play with headphones. You have to because you're playing and all of a sudden you hear just and you're like, oh shit, he's like right behind me. Yeah, phil, just like you right now, you're like, oh shit, that's behind. That's what I was like the whole time.
Speaker 1:You have the option to try to fight the Devourer. There are tools throughout the farmland that you can use to try to take him out. To get tools, though, you need to spend your health. So that was an interesting dynamic. So you spend health to buy tools at different locations, but there's plenty of like places you can get health. That's not like the end of the world, um, but it's all first person. It's all first person. So, uh, but yeah, if you are able to defeat or hurt the devourer, he drops it, drops a piece of it, and then you could take the piece and put it onto an effigy, and then you get more ambrosia, ambrosia at the end of the night. And then at the end of each night you earn cards. This is the roguelike comes in, because you earn different cards and then you can use those cards for like towards your advantages. And then there's also whisper cards that are drawn every night and those either give you a blessing there's a blessing and there's a curse that every night happens.
Speaker 1:If you like horror games, this is a really good horror game. It is really, I don't know, it freaked me out. I could not play this game at night. I had to play this during the day. I couldn't know it freaked me out. I'm not. I could not play this game at night. I had to play this during the day, I couldn't play it at night. But that's me because I'm I'm a baby when it comes to horror games. But playing, playing with the headphones on, is certainly the way to go, because that sound design and that is really well done and uh, just everything like the fact that like it can hear you, it can see you and sense you. You could fight it if you want to. You can run from it and hide from it and try to just survive and get as much of the resources as possible. That's what I really liked about the game, like it's just. It's just a good mix of all those brought together in a really interesting way in this genre.
Speaker 3:So seems like the kind of game that would benefit to having the microphone like if you make a noise, it can hear you like you know, there's some games that do that.
