December 21, 2020 15:00 - 2 hours - 181 MB2020 May be almost over but it's still willing to claim one more victim. Cyberpunk 2077 has unfortunately had a somewhat... disastrous launch (the game was pulled from digital storefronts just moments before this recording). Despite all that, we have sunk up to 30 hours into a game that is, for all intents and purposes, incomplete. Nick recommends Tell Me Why from the creators of Life is Strange and Brad has found a lot to enjoy in Ubisoft's Immortals: Fenyx Rising. Disclaimer: Due to an ...

Now that the system has been out for a week, we take a closer look at Bugsnax (obviously), Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Spider-Man Miles Morales. Nick and Nolan share their EARLY impressions of Assassin's Creed Valhalla which is clearly going to be another divisive monster of a game.

We take our first look at this Gacha sensation to see how it really compares to (and differentiates itself from) Breath of the Wild. Kris gives us his thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima Legends, the new muiltiplayer update that launched this week, and Nick discusses the scare tactics of Amnesia Rebirth.
Revival Club - Bully
October 20, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIn this (long overdue) episode of the Revival Club, we dig into the underdog of Rockstar's catalog: Bully.

July 19, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 89.2 MBOn this episode, Nick is joined by three lovely 4Player community members, Skud, Steve, and ChaiThai, to discuss our time spent playing 'Sleeping Dogs!' Released in 2012 by Square-Enix and United Front Games, the project weathered a troubled development cycle and still managed to delivery a memorable open-world action experience at a time when Rockstar dominated with Grand Theft Auto. It draws inspiration from Hong Kong action cinema to tell a story of an undercover police officer who is try...
