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.

For April, Robbie picked Ape Escape 2! Join us in playing this fun remaster of the PS2 classic, recently re-released on PSN. It’s time to warm up our net-swinging arms and catch some wily monkeys (apes?).

If you are unable to play it yourself and still want to participate in the discussion, keep an eye out for our Twitch streams of the game throughout the month. Afterwards, join us on Discord to let us know your thoughts. And remember, if you want access to cool outtakes and polls (including deciding next month’s game), support us on Patreon!

Ape Escape 2 was developed and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The remastered version is available now on PlayStation Network.

Hello Game-of-the-Month Club fans, and welcome to the October 2018 episode of our podcast! Last month, Robbie picked Hover from developers Midgar Studio, published by Playdius and Plug In Digital. We talk about all sorts of stuff like the limits of multiplayer experience, the vertigo response to fast FPS games, how older games inspire game designers to create something new as a tribute to the games they love, and a whole lot more. Give it a listen here or on your favorite podcast service.

There aren’t too many spoilers in this podcast, BUT if you haven’t played Hover yet, give a try, then come back and give us a listen, just so we’re all on the same happy page. And make sure to add your comments below to keep the conversation going!

Welcome back for the April 2018 episode of our Game-of-the-Month Club! This month we played the 2017 release Nier:Automata from developer PlatinumGames and publisher Square Enix. We had so much to say about Nier:Automata that we’re even considering doing a second podcast later in the year just to cover it all! It’s an amazing feat of storytelling, action, adventure, and so much more. Join us as we discuss what we thought of the game in our GotM podcast.

As always, THERE ARE TONS OF SPOILERS IN THIS PODCAST! If you haven’t played it yet, we recommend you stop everything, reexamine your priorities, and spend 80+ hours playing this fantastic game. Then come back, listen to the podcast, and leave your comments below!
