Nick and Edie finally got their Steam Machines, and they tested independently. Didn't breathe a word to each other what they thought. Their opinions matched: This is the console they both had hoped for. Was it worth the money? They explain in detail the ups, downs, plusses, minuses, and the…

GameHounds 825: Sony Kills (Physical) Games
The backlash over Sony's announcement to end physical copies of games in 2027 isn't going over well. Really not well. Nick and Edie talk about how, in light of the fact that companies can now reach into your libraries and remove your "owned" content (because they also did just that recently)…

GameHounds 824: Let's Talk Those Steam Machine Prices...
I mean, we KNEW it was going to be expensive, but woooowww... I don't think we were prepared for this. Do we blame Valve? No, according to GamersNexux (Yeah, we'll talk about that interview).

GameHounds 820: Groundhog Day
Nick is a writer. He literally writes stories for competitions. You'd think he'd be creative. But if I ask for him to give me a title, he looks at me like he's a dog being shown a card trick. Why does this shit always land on my shoulders. Goalie was right: Nick is a bad cohost. Also Embracer...
-
GameHounds 819: XBOX. NO, WE'RE NOT YELLING

GameHounds 807: Xbox is Strugglin' Strugglin' Strugglin'
Stuff is looking bad at the green monster. Hardware sales down. Software sales down. Unrealistic revenue goals not only missed, they weren't even in the ballpark of profitable. Edie has a frightening prediction no one hopes come true. She and Nick review Iron Lung (the game... the movie is next...
-
GameHounds 806: Xbox Developer Direct and Ubisoft Implodes
Edie and Nick finally agree! Using AI for NPCs is just a bad idea. Doesn't mean anyone is listening, including XBox. We discuss the Developer Direct reveal of Fable and how having a "massive world" populated by 100% interactable NPCs is just... too much! We also discuss the restructuring of...
-
GameHounds 805: The Final Death of GameStop?
This could finally be it. This death rivals some of the most overplayed, overly dramatic, drawn out deaths in cinema. Finally, it seems, GameStop won't be pulled back from the brink by Reddit stock-shorting groups; it may have finally drawn its last breath and gone to sing with the choir…

GameHounds 800: The Almost Reunion Show
Wow. Eight hundred episodes. When Hawkes and Edie sat down in front of a mic 17 years ago, did they even fathom that the show would still be around for 800 episodes? Nope. We don't have a complete reunion, but close. Past and present GameHounds hosts, including Holy Goalie, Mr. Maynard, and...
