Our own little rock band. This week, we're delving into Stellar Blade, the latest PS5 action exclusive. EVE and her companions travel a ruined world full of monsters in an exciting blend of Devil May Cry and Dark Souls. It's stylish, it's fun, and it's one of the best first impressions in a while.

Join us for a few distractions. This week, we've got a special bit of lore for the world of the podcast before the episode begins. After that, we go down the rabbit hole of cartoons and old programming blocks. And if that's not enough, we both built a really cool model kit recently. We're battling some gaming burnout here at the start with a bit non-gaming-related goodness. Then, it's onto the indie game space.

Quite the unexpected duo. This week, we're looking at two brand new releases: Nintendo's Princess Peach: Showtime and Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin. One is an exciting and ever changing romp through different plays with fresh, surprising, and simple gameplay. The other is a journey through 1850s Japan with complex systems, massive amounts of loot, and style that's hard to beat. From patisserie to pastiche, these are two of Q1 2024's biggest releases. All this and more in a week that's pretty low on

It had to be done. This week, we delve into the complete overload of content that is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Combat, exploration, traversal and more highlight this extensive look at Square Enix's biggest game of 2024. We're also talking about the unfortunate aspects of Skull and Bones from back in the game's open beta, as well as the surprising facts that For Honor and Rainbow Six: Siege are still

The best of the best. This week, we continue our look at the top 10 games we played last year, with each of our numbers 5 through 1. It's a list that features some of the pinnacle of certain genres or themes, like super hero games or stealth action games. It brings a familiar fighter to the table and a platformer that's not afraid to get weird when it counts.

The first part of the moment you've been waiting for. This week, we explore five games each that we loved in 2023 - in true Markers on the Map fashion, these games don't necessarily have to come from 2023. In fact, a few of them are quite old. In this week's numbers ten through six, we've got things like a modern kind of FPS game, a really old racer, a remaster so good it could be a remake, robots, RPGs, rage, and writers. And that's just scratching the surface. Check us out on X

We find ourselves in a generation where gaming was different, where hundreds of games dropped constantly, with no DLC or battle passes in sight. Movie tie-ins, platforming collect-a-thons, and the reinvention of first-person shooters - so many sixth generation games to discuss: Smash Bros Melee, Lego Star Wars, Battlefront, Destroy All Humans, Sonic
