This Halloween, we're kicking things off with some playful banter on this age-old brotherly rivalry while recounting our recording mishaps. We then wander through the eerie hallways of gaming history, spotlighting the Wii U's Zombie U with its quirky gamepad antics, and remembering the strategic charm of From Software's Lost Kingdoms before the dark days of Demon's Souls. Our journey detours through the bug-ridden nightmare of Alien Colonial Marines, concluding with a tip of the hat to Resident Evil 7 Village.
Who says Halloween is only about scares? We dive into the world of horror and comedy, where games like Schoolgirl Zombie Hunter make us giggle more than scream. While not a masterpiece, this quirky Japanese shooter offers enough arcade fun to justify its shockingly high sealed-copy price.

As we reminisce about the golden days of retro gaming, we're reminded of the clunky controls and pixelated graphics that were once groundbreaking. From the isolated, eerie vibes of Metroid Prime 2 to the technical constraints of Hey You, Pikachu!, and Pokemon Snap, our love for retro continues. We even toss in a discussion of horror films—everything from classics like The Shining to the whimsical mayhem of Tremors and Lake Placid. And just to keep things light, we ponder whether Scooby-Doo flicks deserve a spot in the horror genrSend a Text Message to The Game Junction Podcast we may read live!

What makes a college football game better than Madden? And is a black protagonist in Assassin's Creed really worth all the controversy? This week, we kick off with some lighthearted banter about Xbox, Halo Infinite, and the simple joy of taking walks. Solomon joins the chat to discuss the exciting new video game announcements from the week, including updates from the Summer Game Fest. We also dive deep into the highly anticipated return of the college football video game, now branded as College Football 24 or 25, and how it stacks up against Madden in terms of gameplay and customization.
Arcade racing, simulation games, and the ever-evolving Assassin's Creed series are on the table next, with a special focus on the latest installment, Assassin's Creed Shadows. Elon Musk's criticism of the game's black protagonist sparks a thoughtful conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion in video game storytelling. We even touch on a medieval Japan game and the complexities of historical accuracy versus representation. Shifting gears, we reflect on the sensitive topics and freedom of speech in gaming, referencing potential remakes and controversial missions in classics like Resident Evil 5 and Call of Duty.
