Episode 12 - The First Byte E3 2021 Spectacular
As this is the first year that both E3 and the First Byte Podcast are happening at the same time, I thought it would be fun and … maybe slightly frantic to pick five titles out of the entire line-up of announcements that tickle my fancy.

Episode 11 - Dystopian Vancouver Sets a Brilliant Stage for Breathtaking Anthropomorphic Noir
After a vast spance of longing, Backbone was released on PC this week, and while I could have pulled back on the reigns of excitement prior to leaping in, I didn’t, and yet it still lived up to my desires and expectations. And blew them away in many cases. Engrossing, the tendrils of art in its...

Episode 10 - Adventures in a Tiny World Drenched in Style and Story
From the same team that brought us amazing and fun video games like Creature in the Well, Manifest 99, and Island Time, comes Stonefly -- a game about tiny beings, building bug-like mechs to battle crawlers, collect resources, and explore their world. And I cannot begin to express how astounding...

Episode 9 - The Odyssey Promise and the Curious Case of the Stakeholders
Elite Dangerous is the most polarizing gaming experience I may have ever fallen in to. Odyssey as an expansion is equal parts stunning, and an abomination without clear explanation. Resulting in a playground that causes awe, and actual gameplay that breeds expletives. There is … SO MUCH … wrong...

Episode 8 - One Final Ride with Bend Studio's Days Gone
On paper, everything about Days Gone was created to appeal to me in specific. As a fan of open-world games, post-apocalyptic settings, role-playing game elements (big and small), and motorcycles, I was flush with excitement when Sony revealed Bend Studio’s original franchise. Unforgettable…

Episode 7 - An Ode to the Greatest Sci-Fi RPG Trilogy of All Time
Mass Effect, as a series, means a lot to me. It means a lot to plenty of people. Fundamentally changing the modern video game role-playing systems -- gameplay mechanics still in heavy use today -- Mass Effect introduced an entirely new audience of geeks and gamers alike, into RPG fans. And, it…

Episode 5 - The Unraveling of a Forgotten Purpose with It Takes Two
It Takes Two is the latest game from the cooperative-focused studio out of Stockholm, Sweden, and it goes a long way to infuse trust and dependability between yourself and whomever you decide to play with. The Hazelight co-op journey is always a feat of inundation, making who you play them with...

Episode 4 - Sea of Thieves Remains a Breath of Fresh Air in 2021
It was simple in concept, true in its vision, but Rare was fully aware that they have something special on their hands. It felt like my mum’s macaroni and cheese. There’s nothing fancy about it, it is not an intricate meal, but god damn does it not taste fundamentally amazing and satisfies every...

Episode 3 - Narita Boy and the Rose-tinted Side-scroller
Media and entertainment that is awash with nostalgic vibes and “in-jokes” has become a major portion of our yearly consumption, but Narita Boy manages to raise that retro vibe on top of a truly fantastic and wonderful universe and environment. Caution, there are some spicy takes regarding art and…

Episode 2 - Outriders Has All That Special Sauce
People Can Fly's first leap into the looter-shooter multiplayer genre does everything is HAS to do, and does it well. All the while, they bring an extra bit of flavor and quality outside of what gamers expect from a game of this type. The elevator pitch for Outriders doesn't do it any justice.

Episode 1 - Monster Hunter: Rise Feels Like Going Home For The Holidays
There is something beautiful, relaxing, and even romantic about returning to a world and formula that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in your belly. Capcom’s latest title in the Monster Hunter franchise does more than enough to push the series forward, and provide fans with something new.
