I remember when I first saw this game, I instantly thought...GUNDAM....IT'S A GUNDAM. I have begged for Gundam games to be like this. But for now, let me just enjoy what we have here, Zone of the Enders. I have regularly been told, play the second, the second is better. This may be true but I want to make sure we cover the first before we dive into that one.
This week, I am joined by debutant, Blaine the Hoagie man, who joined me for a quick chat.

After a week off due to illness, the show is back, and back with a banger in Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow. I got to play this whilst I was ill last year in hospital. I was asked by this weeks guest, Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast.
The dream of this show is that I get to play games I have never played before, and Aria of Sorrow is one of them. I had a ball playing this, and call me a fan.

A few weeks ago, I attended PAXAUS for the first time and had an amazing experience. It was unlike anything I had been to before. It was a gaming home if you will. I went down with the family and met a load of new people, and it is time to tell you all about it.
I talk about what I saw, what I did, who I met and some of the amazing games I played.
My guest this week is Aaron from Press play on the tape podcast which you can find here - https://ppot.audio/
Also, go check out the card game, Bullcrap from the app or steam store, here is the link for Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2123430/BULLCRAP/
I had an amazing time, and I am so grateful I got to go. I can't wait to go back next year.

Fire Emblem is getting it's debut on the show in the form of Sacred Stones. I went through a blitz for a lot of Fire Emblem games, and this was the first one I decided to cover.
I loved this game, and does my guest, Keegs. We had a really good chat about this one and I hope you love this as well.

Does anyone ever remember the 8bit Sonic games, did you even know they existed? Well, there were a few of them, and I am going to cover Sonic Chaos. Playable on both the Master system and game gear, as Sonic and Tails go on a quest to obtain the 5 chaos emeralds from the world, whilst chasing Robotnik for the 6th.

Remember a time when everyone was breaking their TVs playing Wii bowling, remember when we were all happy a new console had just come out, I do. Wii sports was a launch title and it was bundled in with the console making it one of the best selling games of all time. It was a banger and made way for the Wii to be what it was.
But does it still hold up? This week, I am joined by CPC, The Christian Pokemon Champion, to reflect on a game which changed the face of gaming.
