Episode 8 - Fez, Radiant Historia, and a Trip Down Letdown Lane

The Joy of Gaming Podcast, Episode 8:

Fez, Radiant Historia, and a Trip Down Letdown Lane

On this episode, Rich, Tim and Jordan talk about some great games like Fez and Radiant Historia, but then go all pessimistic and start discussing the games that have let them down the most supremely in the past. These aren’t the worst games out there, mind you, but rather, are the games that gave us hope for greatness, and in the end, failed to deliver.

But first, we cover the games we’ve been playing recently, including Fez, Closure, Ghost Trick, Radiant Historia, Cave Story 3D and more. Plus, Rich explains why he’s still not playing Mass Effect 3, even though ME2 is one of his favorite games of all time.

In gaming news, we talk Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale, Rayman: Legends, Red vs. Blue Season 10, Project Cross Zone, and more.

And finally, it’s on to disappointing games. You know who you are – Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Final Fantasy VIII, Resident Evil 5, Soul Calibur 5, and all of your friends. You got our hopes up and let us down, and now we’re going to talk some trash and get some much-needed catharsis.

Playing games can be a messy business, but somebody’s gotta do it. This…is the Joy of Gaming!
