Kirk, Jason, and Maddy open up the mailbag to tackle listener questions about the expectations surrounding Nintendo surprises, what Valve's 30% Steam sales cut means for studios, Wikipedia's "list of video games listed among the best," one listener's Triple Click Dream, and more.
Kirk, Maddy, and Jason dive into Star Wars: Zero Company, the wonderful new strategy game that's best described as a cross between Star Wars and XCOM. They talk about the strategy, the characters, and what a bummer it is that the development team was furloughed before launch. This episode has a 95% chance to hit!
Jason, Maddy, and Kirk talk about The Blood of Dawnwalker, a new vampire game from ex-Witcher 3 developers. They talk about the game's unique time system, the brutal story, and how it all compares to The Witcher 3.
The Triple Click gang convenes for a long-awaited update on the Triple Click Picks — our list of games we highly recommend — with some surprising new additions and removals.
Welcome to Big Walk, a Triple Click corporate trust exercise that has made us all better co-workers and better people. Kirk, Jason, and Maddy break down the new hit game from House House and talk about their experiences playing it together... and falling off cliffs. One More Thing: Kirk: Martyr!
The Triple Click gang talks about SOMA, the 2015 sci-fi horror game that tells a riveting story about brain scans. They talk about the game's strengths (the story!) and the flaws (the voice acting...) as they prepare to send their consciousnesses into space.
Jason, Kirk, and Maddy open up the mailbag to answer some more listener questions. Why do we love replaying games? Why don't indie games cost more? And why are there so many remakes??
It's an episode full of questions this week as Kirk, Maddy, and Jason reach into the mailbag for some hot, hot queries. Is FromSoftware basically Christopher Nolan? Why do companies shut down game studios instead of spinning them out? And when is life like a video game?
Jason, Maddy, and Kirk pull out their spyglasses and zoom in on Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the remake of the 2013 classic for modern platforms. They talk about the sea battles, the game's gruff hero, and what works (and doesn't work) about this new reimagining. One More Thing: Kirk: Denshattack!
