Episode Summary

This week: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control: Resonant, the end of Bioware... and more!

Episode Notes

If you notice a pep in Calum's voice this episode, it's cause he is just back from Disneyland and was immersed in Star Wars for a week, and has come back feeling 10 years old again. Meanwhile Euan is just getting older...

We Played...

• Euan discusses the bizarre Control: Resonant and the (partly) disappointing Silent Hill Townfall
• Calum talks his journey to Batuu (Star Wars land), but also discusses the newest in the long linage of vampire killers with Castlevania: Belmont's Curse
• We both think Star Wars: Zero Company is really good. Just a reminder
