Hello to all our awesome Gods and Goddesses of War out there in Podcastland! June was our grand season finale for Season 3 of our Game-of-the-Month podcast. And what grander way to end the season than to play the 2018 Game-of-the-Year, God of War!

Some of us had a great time playing this one, while one of us … eh, not so much. Listen in to see what we loved and what we hated about this enormous, beautiful, maddening title. 

If you played along with us, add your comments below or join the discussion over on the LRG Facebook page.  

As always, there are loads of SPOILERS in our podcast! So if you haven’t played God of War yet, go give it a good playthrough, and then come back and give our podcast a listen. Happy gaming!

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.
