Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/12/31

Here at Beat of the Month we vote on a theme of the month each and every month (hence the title of the show) and then we play games on that theme. For this month the votes were tallied and the winner was...Dickcember. What exactly is Dickcember do you ask? Well that's a great question since even the people who voted for it don't know! What I do know, is we played games such as Sonic X Shadow Generations, Cyberpunk, The Grinch that stole Christmas, Alan Wake 2 - and more! We also talked a bit about

2024/11/21

We're a week out from Thanksgiving and soon we'll all be enjoying a feast of turkey with all the fixin's. Since our ancestors filled their Thanskgiving table the old fashioned way via hunting and fishing, we decided to have an episode focused on those topics as well - in a digital format of course. Well maybe not entirely digitally since some of the crew does have background with the outdoor arts. For the rest of us, we settle in and talk about games such as Dave the Diver, Dredge, Cabela's

138: Time Capsule Games - 1 Game Per Console

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/11/05

What if you could only pick one game for each console - one game that would most represent that console? Would you pick the best game for the system? Would you pick a launch title that set the stage for the console? Would you choose a late release that showcased what the system was capable of? Would your decisions change if these games would be put in a box for aliens to open up 2000 years from now?Well if you're wondering why I'm asking all these questions, it's because that's what this episode

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/10/22

It's still the spooky season still y'all! In the past we've done deep dives on some truly terrifying games like Dead Space and Resident Evil. This time we're doing something a little different and exploring into the unknown to see why exactly kids love Five Nights At Freddy's. None of us have any first hand experience with the games and we decided to jump in head first - let's just hope we don't lose our heads in the process... We take a look at a bunch of games including the first game that

2024/10/08

The spooky season is here! We've done scary games, monster games, zombie games, ghost games, and this time we're focusing on a common aspect from most of those games - blood! First we get the bloody juices flowing with a little blood trivia and talking about the bloodiest games we've ever played. Then we get into the meat of the discussion with bloody games we played so far to celebrate October.

Hot on the heels of our last episode where we declared the ultimate video game president, we've got another politically themed show - a deep look at the game Papers, Please! It's one of the most unique games that we've covered with a demand for attention to detail, quick decision making, and deep moral decisions. Oh, and do you remember those Spot the Difference games from when you were a kid? Did you like those? Then you'll love this!As most deep dives we spoil a lot of what this

The political season is heating up and the Beat of the Month Crew are getting in on the action! We've got a double dose of political antics this episode with a look at games with a political theme. We play a bit fast and loose with the theme as usual, but we played some Ghost of Tsushima, Super Mario Odyssey, Cult of the Lamb, and a little Disco Elysium (and by a little, I mean a little). We've also got some odds and ends in there like Nintendo World Championship and Mr. Gimmick. We also

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/08/27

For this episode's deep dive we have not one but two games to cover - Not just a single game but not quite a trilogy, it's the duology of Hotline Miami 1 & 2! If you like retro games but want them with more eye gouging, head smashing, and blood splatters, then this is for you. We cover our favorite weapons, levels, and characters (and oh boy are there a lot of characters). We also try to unravel the story of both games, which is more complicated than you would think.

2024/08/13

With the last of the big USA based gaming magazines coming to an end, we decided it was a perfect time to look back at all the fond memories of not only Game Informer, but of all video game magazines. OK maybe not all (there were a lot!) but we do cover the heavy hitters - Gamepro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and of course, Nintendo Power. We also get into some lesser known magazines like Next Generation and Ultra Game Players, as well as some of the magazines centered around walkthroughs like Tips

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/07/30

Elden Ring was a huge game for The Beats crew when it came out over 2 years ago in February of 2022, so when the new massive DLC Shadow of the Erdtree came out we had to revisit it with another episode. This time around though we are going through heavy spoilers including the final boss for the DLC - so you have been warned! We cover our favorite bosses, builds, weapons, and just what the heck is this game about in terms of story anyway? We wrap things up as usual with trivia, and we've got

It's the middle of summer and we've seen a lot of games announced, so The Beats Crew decided to take some time away from talking about games we've played, and focus on some games we want to play! We talk about Summer Games Fest as well as the latest State of Play, Xbox Showcase, and Nintendo Direct. From there - it's anything goes. We talk about getting sad from finishing a game, a gaming delivery gone wrong, some Muff focused trivia - and more! So turn the lights down, think about

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/07/02

Before the Elden Ring DLC commands all of our time, we decided to take a look at a smaller game with an even smaller protagonist - Stray! It's got scratching, it's got meowing, it's got...robots? It wasn't a long game but this cat led adventure game made a lasting impression with our crew. And with the recent announcement that Stray is coming to switch it'll soon be able to be enjoyed by everyone! But be forewarned - we've got a lot of spoilers throughout. We've also got

Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast ·

2024/06/21

Way back on episode 26 we had a topic of disappointing games. Those were games that we thought were going to be really good but ended up just being OK or kinda bad. A little over 100 shows later and we are revisiting that topic, but this time around just focusing on flat out bad games. We never intended any of these games to be good, and in most cases they were not!To add to the fun, we also did a little Secret Santa type swap where we chose crappy games for each other to play.

2024/05/21

For this episode we've got another series of interviews, this time focusing on a single game - a light gun shooter for the PlayStation 1 that was released back in 1998 - Elemental Gearbolt! What's so special about this game? When you think light gun games you probably think about House of the Dead, Time Crisis, or something very similar. Which is perfectly fine - those are fun games! But Elemental Gearbolt is so unique with its music and story that it stands out in the memory of anyone who has
