Thank the heavens June is almost over. This month has been a whirlwind of emotions, though it probably isn't helping that some of the Podtoid team are diving into more morose experiences than the others. In this episode, CJ, Dan, Charlotte,...

Porting an Xbox One/PS4 game to Switch is like trying to rock a rhyme that's right on time. It's tricky. There are plenty of studios that specialize in the process and some ports are downright amazing, but most players know no matter the pe...

There have been a lot of fan petitions and outcries over the past several years. Everyone wants something we've learned that if we take our voices to Twitter, something might actually get done. Case in point: the #ReleasetheSnyderCut campai...

The video game industry has no shortage of remasters and remakes to sell you. From Wii U games getting ported to Switch to whatever the hell THQ is doing with the Saints Row franchise, publishers will always find reason to try and get ...

One of the biggest pieces of news last week was the reveal of Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, a new DLC expansion of the original game that will continue its story and introduce RoboCop to the franchise. Not exactly a first-choice character wh...

Is May too early to be talking about Game of the Year? Not if you've played Streets of Rage 4. The brawler is getting rave reviews all over the internet, including on this week's episode of Podtoid. On the show, Charlotte, Dan, Occams, CJ, ...

Despite being called a "single-player," there are actually many one-player games out there that are just more fun when two or more people get in on the action. Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident, for instance, was a hell of a lot mor...

Slowly but surely, the world is learning about the PlayStation 5. This past week we heard rumblings the system might be pretty scarce at launch with a predicted high price possibly leading to fewer units being made in the first few months. ...

The world has been such a dark place as of late that it was nice to see something as nice and wholesome as a Nintendo Direct last week. It's a great way to take your mind off the troubles at hand and focus on all the games you'll be spendin...

Fun fact: did you know this is the longest wait we've seen in the west between the launch of a console and the debut of a new entry in the Animal Crossing franchise? It's true. Most of the other core games in the series hit their respe...

This weekend was easily the best I've had yet in 2020. Not because it was an extended week or I did anything amazing; no, this weekend was the best because I finally took the time to play Batman: Arkham Asylum through to the end and my...

Less than a year ago today, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was not in a good place. Leaks about the project pointed to a Sonic most fans wouldn't recognize and an extremely unfortunate teaser poster only made things worth. When the first...

Unfortunately, Podtoid tapes early in the morning on Sunday (for me). So I can't make this post all about how happy I am Parasite made history last night because we just don't talk about it on the show. Instead, I'm focusing on what we...

On Sunday the world came together to watch the biggest game of the year and the Podtoid crew couldn't give any less of a shit about who beat who or who choked in the 4th. Instead, on this week's episode, CJ, Chris, Dan, Occams, and Charlott...

Broken video games are a sad part of this industry. Whether the developer has hundreds of people on staff or so few you can count them all on one hand, too often we see games in no shape to be played by the public hitting store shelves anyw...

One of the best franchises to emerge from the Wii/DS era was Trauma Center, Atlus's surgery sim franchise that featured strong writing, incredible characters, crushing difficulty, and clever use of motion and touch controls. A total of five...
