Welcome to episode 29 of the Growin' Up Gaming Podcast!


Every Friday you can expect hilarious discussions around the news of the game industry. We also give in-depth reviews, highlight indie games, dive into nostalgia & of course, chat B movies.


We kick this week's episode kicks off with Dark Horse Comics, the publisher behind Frank Miller's 300 & Sin City, Hell Boy, and Umbrella Acadamy are creating a games division. Next, we gotta go fast as we cruise through all of the announcements at Sonics 30th Anniversary live stream and we wrap up this week's news with April's NPD numbers. Can you guess how much Americans spent on video games in April?


Then, in Today In Video Game History we go through some of the great games that came out on June 4th. Games like: Rock N' Roll Racing, Space Channel 5, Vampyr & Timespinner


Brandon then grabs the mic and gives us his review on Disneys Cruella before we wrap up the show with a question from our audience all around NFTs, Blockchain, and the future of video games.


So join us now! Kick back, grab a drink and let's hang out.
