We have reached episode 75 and we need a big game to celebrate. Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo. Chrono Trigger is often considered one of the best RPGs, if not one of the best games ever ever made.
I got asked to play this by debutant Captain N. I finished it and me and the Captain had a good old chin wag about this classic.

Final Fantasy is back in the focus with the release of 16, so I decided to cover Final Fantasy X with my friend R9 Beats. I remember when this game came out and it blew my mind. The colours that came out of the screen, the music, and the story of Tidus and Yuna was beautiful.
It is a short week this week because I sadly have the ro ro and feel rubbish.
My guest this week is R9 Beats and you can find his YouTube page here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU4p-lnW4tSmH8DGMm2SZlQ

There are always imitators, some are good, some are bad, but then there is Digimon. Digimon is always considered the biggest imitators, if not the biggest imitator of Pokemon. As well as an anime, they have cards and games. I wanted to look at their first game, Digimon World on the PlayStation One.
Woah boy.....get ready for a rant.

We reach the end of out Street Fighter celebration looking at Street Fighter 4, the game which possibly saved the genre. I played this game so much that my fingers were black and blue. It taught me to love fighting games once again. I am joined by the Kommand List's Raging Demon and Chaotic Jim to take them on in a dramatic battle.

Catherine, a game when you look at the cover and you think, what type of game is this again. I broke through my fear and played it, and found there is a lot to undercover here. There is a lot to cover in this one and this time, I am joined by Mr Jake Macauley.

It has taken a while, but finally, I am covering an Metroid episode, and it is one of my favourites, Metroid Prime. I bought this day one and finished it one hundred percent. I recently played the remaster and I loved it so much. Ahh my nostalgia blanket. Joining me this week, is Adam from The Good, The Bad and The Backlog, and my word....what a man this man is. I actually think this is our longest episode so far. Enjoy everyone.
