    Season 2 Episode 17 | Assassin's Creed Black Flag! Desmond's story has finally come to an end, or has it? Join us as we don our pirate hats and set sail into Black Flag, diving deep into Sample 17 aka Desmond's DNA that Abstergo pulled from his corpse (gross), to explore Edward Kenway's memories through a nameless Abstergo Entertainment employee. Pirating, Naval warfare, modern day hacking and espionage, this game definitely didn't leave fans wanting, except maybe for more shirtless pirates!

    Episode 9 Murdered: Soul Suspect! A game that has been vastly underrated and overshadowed by other games released around the same time. With the closing of Alright Games a month later, this game sadly didn't receive the polish and shine it could have used to fix bugs and make it raise from the grave (pun intended). HOWEVER! The unique world, gameplay, storyline and characters are absolutely worth the issues that come with this game. For a game so beautifully put together it's such a shame it didn't live a more vibrate life after it's launch, but it's afterlife is still almost as nice!
