We’re back from PAX East, and there’s a lot to talk about. We highlight three of our favorite games, including a clever roguelike puzzler, a unique take on the fighting genre, and an indie gem with a drawing mechanic that actually works. We also share impressions from the show floor, why this year felt a bit more laid-back, and how some of the best games were the ones you had to go out of your way to find.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast. This week, Roger, Zeb, and Jake dig back into the mess surrounding Highguard, including layoffs, the site going down, and whether that big Game Awards spotlight did more harm than good.

The crew also talks about Bluepoint shutting down and speculates on the reasons behind it and the potential fallout.

Then they shift gears into what they’ve been playing, with Zeb sharing thoughts on the charming 3D platformer Demon Tides, Jake battling his way through the brutal Love Eternal, and Roger breaking down two very different experiences: the frustrating Clue: Murder by Death and the joyful, tabletop-inspired Baladins.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! This week, we dig into two very different conversations. First up: Dispatch and why Nintendo’s handling of content moderation can feel wildly inconsistent, especially when you compare what gets flagged versus what quietly slips through the eShop.

Then we shift to our main topic: Highguard and the reality of launching a free-to-play team shooter in a crowded space. We break down the big player-count drop, why 3v3 on oversized maps is rubbing people the wrong way, and whether games like this can still find a long-term audience (or if the first couple weeks decide everything). 

Finally we cover the games we've been playing: Star Rupture, Project Zomboid, Death Stranding 2, and a whole lot of Animal Crossing.

Welcome back to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! While at PAX West, Roger chatted with Z from Serenity Forge about Fractured Blooms, a game that weaves together a psychological horror elements, resource management, and an interesting story. 

Z shares the inspirations behind the project, from classic horror roots like Resident Evil and Silent Hill to the everyday chores of gardening and cooking that mirror survival mechanics. We also dive into the game’s unique audio design, the existential dread of never having enough time, and how mundane tasks like laundry become central to the unsettling atmosphere.

This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger, Zeb, Jake, and President and CEO Phil dive deep into the buzz around Borderlands 4. Roger shares his first impressions from PAX West and talks about the differences between playing on Xbox and the Switch 2, while Phil defends the franchise as a longtime fan. The crew debates Randy Pitchford’s fiery responses to criticism, the challenges of PC optimization, and whether the conversation is overshadowing the actual quality of the game.

Beyond Borderlands, the crew chats about upcoming releases like Hades II, Silent Hill F, and Sonic Racing Cross Worlds. The group also shares what they’ve been playing, from Phasmophobia scares and Silksong to spice runs in Dune Awakening and the rogue-like chaos of Rogue Labyrinth.

Roger spotlights The Secret of Weepstone (pure old-school D&D vibes) and Fallen Tear: The Ascension (a slick metroidvania with a twenty hero roster), plus early impressions of Hell Clock, the Final Fantasy Tactics remake, and Borderlands 4. 

In the main topic, Jake leads a discussion on Apple’s new iPhones: 17, 17 Pro, and the debut iPhone Air, digging into eSIMs, battery life, vapor cooling, and whether ray-traced AAA games on a phone actually make sense for players. 

The crew also discusses what they're playing: Jake’s on The Rogue Prince of Persia, Lies of P + DLC, No Man’s Sky’s Corvette update, and Hollow Knight; Zeb’s deep in Silksong; Roger’s reviewing Dark Deity 2, Hell Clock and Rogue Labyrinth.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! This week, Roger is joined by Trina and Zeb for the last episode before PAX West. The crew dives into their packed schedules, the games they’re most excited to see, and what makes PAX such a special event. Trina highlights her history with Astroneer and excitement for Astroneer: Starseeker, along with the quirky charm of Memoria Wake and, of course, Hollow Knight: Silksong. Roger previews his interviews and hands-on sessions with titles like Mistfall Hunter and Hell Clock, plus a sit-down with David Brevik, the mind behind Diablo.

The conversation then shifts to the ripple effect of Silksong’s surprise September release date, forcing games like Demonschool to delay. The crew debates whether Team Cherry had a responsibility to give the industry more notice and what this means for indie publishers.

 This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger, Trina, Zeb, and Asa ask the big question: are we drowning in too many good games?

Plus, we spotlight upcoming releases, what we’re playing right now—including Mecha BREAK, Warframe, Blueprints, and Missile Command Delta—and reveal which Nintendo classics Zeb has somehow never played (prepare to gasp).

Welcome to The Gamerheads Podcast! Mike and Phil kick off with a Halloween recap, sharing quirky trick-or-treating memories and Roger’s fictional cross-country "trick-or-treating world record" attempt. They also revisit Halloween classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror, capturing the cozy nostalgia of Halloween night.

November Game Releases: Is the Big Season Back?

The hosts turn their attention to November’s releases, wondering if the month is reclaiming its former status as a top season for new games. They discuss Tetris Forever, Lego Horizon, Dragon Quest 3 HD Remake, and Metal Slug Tactics, noting a wide variety of titles but a lack of major holiday blockbusters.

Game Review Spotlight: Retro Realms

Mike reviews Retro Realms, a horror-themed indie game featuring classic characters like Michael Myers and Ash from Evil Dead. Though he enjoys the retro style and collectibles, he finds input lag disrupts gameplay. Despite this, the horror atmosphere and unique arcade setting provide a fun experience.

Creepy Card Games: Inscryption

The crew dive into Inscryption, a card-based horror game blending escape-room puzzles with roguelike mechanics. Trapped in a mysterious cabin, players face off against a sinister figure, building eerie tension through unsettling visuals and atmospheric storytelling. While the game’s tough, both enjoy the unique mix of horror and strategy.

Wrapping Up the Halloween Season: Farewell, Retro Game Frankenstein

With Halloween over, Mike and Phil bid farewell to their seasonal segment “Retro Game Frankenstein,” until next year.

In this week’s episode, while Roger is off on a ghost-hunting adventure, Mike and Phil take over to deliver a mix of spooky humor, horror movie reviews, and creative reimaginings of iconic video games.

Ghost Hunting and Horror Films
 
Mike and Phil share some light-hearted banter about Roger’s ghost-hunting quest in Maryland. Mike then reviews two horror films: In a Violent Nature—a slasher film reminiscent of Friday the 13th—and Terrifier 3, which pushes the limits of gore and depravity. Phil joins in on the conversation, comparing the intensity of these films to horror classics.

Reimagining Video Games: Horror Genre Edition
 
The hosts challenge themselves to reimagine well-known horror games in different genres. Ideas include a Castlevania-themed augmented reality game like Pokémon Go, a Resident Evil match-three puzzle game, and a From Dusk Till Dawn beat-'em-up inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. They also pitch a turn-based Addams Family RPG based on the classic black-and-white style.

Game Reviews and What We’ve Been Playing

• Mike: Discusses his experience with Fortnite’s Halloween event (Fortnitemares) and the Halloween-themed battle pass in Fall Guys.
• Phil: Tried Mad Streets, a team-based beat-’em-up game on Game Pass, but found it lacking.

Dead Space Remake Impressions 

Mike and Phil dive into the Dead Space Remake. They share their nostalgic moments and frustrations, including the frequent enemy ambushes and dark lighting. Despite a few drawbacks, they both agree that the game remains a horror masterpiece.

Next Week’s Game: Inscryption

The spooky season continues as Retro Game Frankenstein assigns the hosts to play Inscryption, a psychological horror card game.
