The Easy Allies Podcast

The No More Heroes semi-sequel, much like Nintendo, has a great deal of love for indie games, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is officially a big fat monster hit, and Huber gets to talk about some red hot Resident Evil 7 announcements.

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 concludes in an unlikely fashion, Sega has a lot of big plans for Yakuza, and and the Secret of Mana remake is just right for Damiani.

Gamescom brings some big game announcements like BioMutant and Age of Empires IV along with some littler game-related news. Also, we get to play Locks, Sleepers, Keepers, and Busts for 2018.

SWERY's new crowdfunding campaign is for an RPG where you become a cat, Kyle missed some big Japanese game announcements last week, and we should stop and talk about Sonic the Hedgehog.

Valve announces a game we don't necessarily want but will definitely make money, former DICE head Patrick Bach sets up shop with Ubisoft, and AM2R's demise has a gloriously silver lining.

The fall season kicks off in the middle of summer this year, so we're tallying up the surprisingly extensive list of big releases across August and September, while of course announcing our Pop Tarts and Toaster Strudels.

Telltale keeps pumping out games and we somehow keep getting excited, Tekken 7 is the king of iron sales charts, and Evo turns out to be a good place for fighting game announcements.

It's a Love & Respect only episode! We talk serious game stuff, play silly games, and stretch the limitations of our imaginations.

Warframe might be a bigger deal than we ever give it credit for, the Switch gets the little brother treatment with WWE 2K18, and the Xbox One X is still new hardware coming out soon.

Mass Effect Andromeda will not have any story DLC, Sony passes off Xbox One X footage of Anthem as their own, and Activision only needs two games.

Star Fox 2 is resurrected from the depths of Nintendo's archives through the power of the SNES Classic, Sega has a much harder time capitalizing off its own back catalog, and we have a long talk about Crash Bandicoot.

The IO Interactive/Hitman story actually has a happy conclusion, Modern Warfare Remastered gets its own separate release after all, and it's worth talking about what Injustice 2's success means.

Project Scorpio is Xbox One X and 500 US dollars, Nintendo revealed just enough to keep Switch owners happy, and Ubisoft managed to have itself a great E3 presentation.

The Pokémon Company excitedly announces nothing exciting, Need for Speed Payback is more like the first Fast and the Furious, and we think Square Enix might be working on a third Marvel game with People Can Fly.

Far Cry 5 really is in modern-day Montana, Lost Sphear is the next product rolling off the conveyor belt of the Tokyo RPG Factory, and Bethesda and Ubisoft have some crucially imperative press conferences coming up.

Mario + Rabbids is real and we have to accept that, Red Dead Redemption was delayed half a year, and, finally, the E3 Press Conference Previews begin!

The Switch is not top priority for the next Lego game, Project Rap Rabbit might not have all the ingredients for a successful Kickstarter, and yes, it's obviously a cool, good thing that Phantom Dust is a free game.

The next Assassin's Creed is digging into those origins we've all been curious about, Far Cry is almost definitely in Montana but probably not in the 19th century, and we peer forward into some future news.

THQ Nordic proves that Darksiders is worth fighting for, the New 2DS XL rides the 3DS family out in style, and the Rabbids/Mario crossover continues to be real.

2017 may have had one of the best starts to a year we've ever seen, but how do the games that kicked off 2016 look today? A lot of groovin' and sleepin' going on.
