The final game before Spooky Season is a strong contender for game of the year, and the best 3D platformer in bloody ages (and we do love one of those on this pod) - it's the PS5-chugging Astro Bot.

As a little bonus, Alex relays all the mad games he played while abject and directionless as David was away on a cruise for two weeks.

Say hi @winnerisyoupod on X, awinnerisyoupod on Instagram, or @winnerisyou on BlueSky. We're also on YouTube if you want to watch us while we chat, you fackin' perv.

Sometimes you just have the play the ball as it lies. We made this bed to finish Summer of Resi 2024 with the remake of Resident Evil 3 so, by god, we had a lie in it.

Is it really as bad as people say (not really)? Is it a terrible remake of the original (pretty much)? We have some pretty strong feelings on this one, and there are many laughs to be had along the way.

Hey! Rate this podcast 5* and tell your mates! Hey! We're on BlueSky now because Elon is a weapons grade bellend!

It's back to the originals again, boys and girls, as we tackle what is arguably still the jewel in the Resident Evil crown, 1998's Resident Evil 2.

We talk the story, the development, the RPD, the differences between this and the remake, all the differences in the A/B campaigns and much more!

Say hi @winnerisyoupod, email awinnerisyoupod@gmail.com and please tell your buddies about us - it'd really help x

Summer of Resi proper begins with what is still arguably the greatest remake of all time - the 2002 GameCube behemoth that is Resident Evil.

We dive deep into the game's development, the extended lore of the Trevor family, the differences between it and the 1996 original, and much more!

We satiate our hunger to get started with Summer of Resi by diving deep into the wonderfully nostalgic indie survival horror gem, Crow Country.

Developed mostly by one man, this truly is a gloriously reverential homage to classic Resi that stands as a veritable masterpiece in its own right.

A few episodes ago we late fate decide six games we were going to play, all from the SNES and Mega Drive libraries available on Nintendo Switch Online. Those games were:

• Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
• Claymates
• Comix Zone
• Kirby's Dream Land 3
• Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
• Target Earth

It's safe to say we didn't love most of these, but if you know one thing about this podcast, it's that things generally get more entertaining the angrier we get!
