Wow, we completely cut out news on this super-sized episode of Press Pause Radio, and we still went for three hours. THREE HOURS! How is it possible that we could ramble on and on for such a long time? It's because we all love arcades and are avid fans/collectors of arcade machines. On this episode the entire crew reflect on arcades of the past, and dream of a possible future where arcades may one day return. We will also discuss some of the newest games that have released, and nerd out for...

On this episode of Press Pause Radio we hold hands and venture through the great unknown, as we discuss the history and relevance of strategy guides and walkthroughs. Thankfully we brought along a few "guides" on the trip as well. Matt Clark, a freelance writer featured on MTV, 1up, GamePro and many other publications joins us along with Zy, a top contributor on GameFAQs and writer of several walkthroughs as we contemplate on whether guides and walkthroughs are still needed in gaming today....

On this very special episode of Press Pause Radio, we talk about the dangers of video game addiction. What happens when one more game or one more level spirals out of control and destroys relationships, jobs and other activities out of the virtual world? The crew will discuss this topic and more with the most responsible and well-adjusted person they know, the one and only Ballsrog. The gang-star of video games sits in on this episode and raps with the group about Skyrim, Mass Effect and ho...

We have reached the end of another year, and now we at Press Pause Radio will reflect on perhaps one of the best years for video games as we bring to you our annual Top Ten Games of the Year!

Press Pause Radio has survived another holiday filled with crazy mobs of shoppers and an insane amount of game releases to give you an early gift, that we like to call Episode 51. The crew welcomes back Matt Jay from Snackbar Games as they attempt to go through another long list of What's In Your Console, including The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Assassin's Creed: Revelations and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim just to name a few.

We've done it. We somehow survived and reached episode 50 of Press Pause Radio. And to celebrate we are returning with a three hour long show, as well as our first show with Couchbound Network. With so many games being released in the last few months, we spend the majority of the show discussing all of them. Ser, Sean, GeorgieBoysAXE and Toast will converse about titles such as Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3. The crew then debate on what m...

PPR Games Club: Fatal Frame

On this very spooky episode of Press Pause Radio we overcome sickness and legitimate fear to discuss a classic in the survival horror genre, Fatal Frame. GeorgieboysAXE and Toast are joined by James Mielke, a personal hero to many on the show and a man who is so familiar with the Fatal Frame series, he even plays a small role in it's sequel. We will discuss the game in it's entirety, as well as discuss other conventions of the survival horror genre. This episode was a milestone for many of ...

The newest episode of Press Pause Radio has landed on Earth, like Kal-El when he was rocketed from Krypton. And like Superman's alter ego Clark Kent, this episode is going to be extremely nerdy. This week we are discussing the flawed past, and hopeful future of super hero video games. The crew weighs in on what works, what does not work and which characters should be in their own game. Feel free to make your voice heard on our various social sites, or at our forums and nerd out with us. Ple...

PPR Games Club: Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection Side A

So hopefully everyone knows how our Games Club works by now. We play through a game, and discuss it on the show along with your comments. However this time we are switching things up, by playing not one but two games. The recently released Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection on PS3 gives us the perfect opportunity to discuss some of the finest games ever released on the Playstation 2, now remastered in HD for the Playstation 3.

Press Pause Radio escapes the limbo of corrupted audio files and damaged computers to deliver the newest episode of PPR! Along for the ride is our newest member to the team Dan, the man with possibly five or more nicknames. One of our good friends Matt, Patriot1030 from the WOFR Gaming Network also is able to join us at the last minute to complete the roundtable discussion.

Disclaimer: No Juggalos were harmed in the recording of this podcast. This episode of Press Pause Radio is brought to you by the one and only SeanDod, as well as his mustache. On this week's episode, we will discuss level design in video games. For decades video games have evolved and we have seen numerous technological breakthroughs. However the core element of level design has remained the same, and is the cornerstone of all video games. The crew will discuss this as well as news from Pe...

Press Pause Radio does not condone or reccommend that any of our listeners let a PPR cast member babysit your kids. Episode 46 not only proves this, but also alienates fans of any age. This week will will touch on recent news from Gamescom as well as welcome a few friends to the show. We welcome the former host of Pixel Dreams Drew to the show, a long time friend and supporter of the show. Another great supporter of the show, Dan also joins us and brings some sanity to the recording.

PPR Two Year Anniversary Special

PPR 40

Let it be known that Press Pause Radio is very two-dimensional, and because of that we are discussing 2D gaming on this week's episode. Nice segue, I know. 2D gaming has been a mainstay on every console since the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System and shows no signs of slowing down. We will delve into this topic as well as discuss new releases such as Bangai-O HD Missle Fury, Portal 2, Hot Springs Story and complain about the PSN downtime.
