Howdy peeps, and welcome to the March edition of the Digitally Uploaded podcast! We've got some great stuff to chat through this month so kick back and enjoy the 2-hour ride! First, we run through all the stuff releasing in the month ahead (it's a staggering line-up of games). Then we talk about Elden Ring - a game that is surely going to be turning heads for many years to come (and with good reason).

Welcome to the February edition of the Digitally Uploaded podcast! This month we have one thing on our minds: Pokémon! With the first brand new Pokémon title in quite some time - Arceus - landing on our doorsteps, we've been playing it like mad because this is an absolute return to form for the series. And so we have focused the podcast on this topic. Not only do we chat about Arceus itself, but how Game Freak is managing the property, our own history with Pokémon, and what we might see from the

We're back for 2022! And we've got a great podcast to kick things off! This week, we're chatting about emulation consoles - what they are, why they're great, and what we can expect from them in 2022. When it comes to archiving and accessing the otherwise lost games of yesteryear, emulation consoles are worth their weight in gold. We also chat about digital board games - what we like to play and why we like them. Thanks for tuning in, and let's have a great 2022!

We have a very Nintendo-focused podcast this month. With new Pokémon titles out this month (or, at least, remakes of Pokémon titles), we have a good chat about those games, and the broader Pokémon experience - where are things at with the series, and what has made it so enduring? And then we have a good chat about our big DDNet multiplayer session.

We have a very different topic for discussion this month, but I promise you it's an interesting one! The use of islands in games can range from the very, very large to the very, very small. But what do "islands" mean to video games, and what does it look like when it's done well? We also take a look at the rest of the game releases this month - it's a jam-packed latter half indeed! Be sure to let us know what you'll be playing. Thanks as always for tuning in!

The PlayStation 2 is one of the greatest consoles of all time, and its contribution to gaming should be remembered. We've been in a nostalgic mood in recent months, so we decided to bust out our favourite PlayStation 2 games to talk about the console - there were a lot of great games on that machine that are coming dangerously close to being forgotten. We also chat about one of the greats in video games (Goichi Suda), whom many of us discovered for his PS2 masterpiece - Killer7 - and has an

August 2021 Podcast: Remakes, Remasters, or Re-releases?

2021/08/02

Welcome to the August podcast! This month our focus is on remakes, remasters, and re-releases. What makes a good remake, when is a remaster the better choice, or should developers respect the original? We get a lot of re-things these days, and the relationship between the original and the new is an important discussion to have in the context of games as an art form, so we have an in-depth chat about that this week. As well as that, we chat about all the games coming out in August, and share some

Hello folks! We've got a special themed episode for you this month - it's all about Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (GBA). The GBA turned 20 in Australia this June, and to this day remains one of the consoles that we remember fondly. It had a seemingly endless stream of excellent JRPGs, introduced us to some of our favourite properties (Fire Emblem, anyone?), and in many cases, was the first games console that we had, or took seriously. So in this nearly 2-hour special podcast we spend most of it

Time sure flies when you're having fun! We're already into the second month of 2021, and we've been having a lot of fun with the games we've been playing. This month on the podcast we look at the packed February lineup, discuss why games need to be orientated more towards narrative, consider the ongoing role of the platformer, and debate what qualities make a game worth returning to once it becomes "retro".
