Player One Podcast

This week! Anniversaries that make us feel old, golf games, TurboGrafx goodness, cheap eShop stuff, games with bees, and much, much more. Join us, won’t you?

Wind those time circuits back to November 2000 for this little guessing game using reviews (with titles and publisher names blanked out) from Die Hard Game Fan magazine. This game gets...a little weird. Then! We venture into the time CJ got called out in Game Fan just in time - as this was the penultimate issue of that print magazine. Was CJ right about unlimited continues? Was ECM right? I think we all know CJ was right.

This week! Commercial jingles, the stuff kids watch, Panel de Pon, the Unreal Engine 5 demo, the Ghost of Tsushima State of Play, Moving Out, Panzer Dragoon Remake, Space Invaders Invincible Collection, and much, much more. Join us, won’t you?

599: Daddy Needs Some Pirate Time Aftershow Turn your time machine back 25 years. In this Aftershow, we go all the way to the May 1993 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. CJ reads the text of various reviews, blanking out the names of companies and games, and Greg and Phil have to guess. You can play along at home, making this a fully interactive aftershow. Tell us how many you got!

This week! First look at next gen, digital events, Last of Us gone gold, Animal Crossing, Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl, Hyperdot, D2, and much, much more. Join us, won’t you?

598: Nice Expletive Model Aftershow In this week’s Aftershow, we’ve got a review quiz featuring games covered in the September 1995 issue of Game Fan magazine. This issue is infamous for a reason - because of a “printing error” (also known as dummy text that was not replaced with the correct content before going out) it was pulled from shelves. Test your knowledge of games from the mid-90s along with the quiz and see if you can outdo Greg and Phil.

This week! Streets of Rage 4, Streets of Fury EX, next-gen events, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Trials of Mana, Predator Hunting Grounds, and much, much more. Join us, won’t you?

597: I Percolate My Marinade Aftershow Welcome back to yet another review game. This time, it’s from the November 1998 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Get ready to play along with Greg and Phil as they attempt to guess the names of games for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 1 based just on the text of reviews. Can you do better than these two? Maybe.

This week! Reminiscing about old TV shows, social distanced TV, Predator Hunting Grounds, Gran Turismo Sport, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Picross S4, new TV buying, retro updates, and much, much more! Join us, won’t you?

596: Cult Culture Club Aftershow In this week’s Aftershow, we set the time machine back to April 1998 for a guessing game based on EGM Review Crew text. And we convinced guest Sean Capri to play the game as well. Play along with us and see how many you can get right!

This week! Phil’s weekend sleeping habits, Picross is (still) awesome, PS5 in limited quantities, new Switch firmware, and much, much more.

595: Takes a Little Man to Steer a Big Ship Aftershow We’re back with another Review game, this time from the November 1992 issue of EGM. Play along as Greg and Phil attempt to guess the games being described by reviews in the magazine. This one might be harder than you think, or perhaps easier? You’ll just have to find out by listening.

This week! Sony’s PS5 controller is revealed, we’re still playing Animal Crossing, Stewy watched someone else play Final Fantasy VII Remake, and much, much more. Join us, won’t you?
