Fred is joined by Andy of 42 Level One to discuss what yesterday’s presentation actually meant in the lead up to the launch of Playstation 5.  While opinions on personal taste in the games shown will be abundant, we wanted to talk about the business decisions Sony is making and what it means to the average consumer.  Sadly, communication from Sony is poor on this front and it’s due to some of these decisions, as we discuss. If you are scratching your head after this presentation, you want to listen to this episode.

Resident Evil 2: Original vs Remake

with one comment

Fred and Jam are reunited and ready to kick off more consistent retro content, albeit this one is only half retro.  In this spoileriffic comparison podcast, the two delve into the development and content of the scrapped version of Resident Evil 2, dubbed Resident Evil 1.5 by the Internet, as well as the original full blown release.  Then they move over to comparing the quality and content in this new remake.  It’s a long ride and it’s highly recommended that you play the games first, but sit back and enjoy a horrifying trip through the Raccoon City police department and beyond.

Interview: Screaming Villains Talks Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition

with one comment

It wasn’t an hour after the announcement trailer hit online that I knew I had to talk to people behind Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition.  Tyler, owner of Screaming Villains (the developer behind this project), was kind enough to sit down and chat with me about the upcoming release.

Back before Gaming History 101 was a thing, Fred made a solo podcast about the Resident Evil series and it was shockingly less than an hour long.
