Sean Garmer is once again joined by Marc Morrison as they discuss what is a relatively light news week and fill it with some other things to talk about.
Sean has tested out and has an Antstream Arcade Review ready for this episode, which in short, is a new streaming service that just launched all about retro games from the 1980s and 1990s. So, don’t expect anything from the PS3 and 360 eras, these are definitive super retro titles, featuring arcade games like Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat to Sensible World of Soccer and Smash TV. Is this worth it for old-school gamers? What about if you just want to play some games with friends? Sean has your answers right here.
PlayStation‘s Project Q (which for some reason still doesn’t have an official name) got leaked and it is an Android device. Does this make it more viable than before? Also, Ubisoft is locking down inactive Ubisoft accounts, even with game purchases attached, the mess of a Diablo IV season 1 patch, Sean has finally beaten Final Fantasy XVI, Marc’s been playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and more!
The Main Focus is the Antstream Arcade Review, But Also Watch or Listen for Discussion on Diablo IV, Final Fantasy XVI, and More
