Game-of-the-Month Club – Ape Escape 2 – S3, E4

May 8, 2019May 27, 2019 Olivia Dunlap Game-of-the-Month, Podcasts

We had a whole lot to say about this exciting game for April. Robbie picked Ape Escape 2 by Sony Computer Entertainment and it made us go bananas! In this episode, we discuss games that are fun for the sake of it, nostalgia for games some of us played as kids, the ways Ape Escape attempted to innovate with the Dualshock controls, and more!

If you played along with us, or have awesome memories of playing Ape Escape back in the day, add your comments here or join the discussion over on the LRG Facebook page. And for early access to GOTM episodes, exclusive polls, and hilarious outtakes, be sure to check us out over on Patreon.

Good news is, we were mostly spoiler-free (for once)! But if you haven’t played the game yet, we still encourage you to give it a try before you listen in.
