F.E.A.R. 3 came out recently and for the first time ever I am filming a true first encounter marathon for a F.E.A.R. Game. This means I have never played FEAR 3 before and all impressions are initial and likely to change. This marathon is also unlike traditional marathons in that it will be filmed in smaller […]

By popular demand and largely because Valve released the Portal 2 soundtrack for free I decided that our Co-op marathon while awesome was not enough. We need the full single player story as well! The sequel to a game we covered in an episode needed a marathon and here it is with one of the best […]

As discussed in our L.A. Noire episode, HPAW presents the L.A. Noire Vice special! In this quasi-marathon, WorldGone Awry joined by Teclis and Mempf play through the L.A.

HPAW takes a suggestion from the forums! This week we have WorldGone Awry playing the beginning of Amnesia: The Dark Descent (I am aware I repeatability incorrectly called the game Amnesia: The Darkest Descent). WorldGone Awry should be well out of his comfort zone as he is unable to fight the insanity that consumes him. […]

Welcome to 2011 HPAW fans! Since its already the second month of the year why not kick things off with a two part episode!

HPAW returns with another new episode. This time the rain is heavy, the mood just right, a near perfect execution of story telling. Heavy Rain is this weeks focus and although we have a slow start (first encounter episode) the game really drew me in. We have a full cast (and a guest, kinda) so […]

Now that the Olympics are over (Go Canada Go!) and the Mass Effect 2 marathon is behind us, we can continue our 2010 season.

Welcome to another (on schedule!) HPAW episode. This week we feature a “co-op” Mario game for the Wii. Co-op really is a relative term but the fun is there no matter what. Unfortunately Biske was unable to join us this week but we were once again able to get both WorldGone Awry and Nw Striker […]

Well we heard your disappointment in the lack of Firefight in our ODST marathon and originally we had planned to include it in our marathon. However technical issues resulted in the marathon ending much later than planned and the removal of the Firefight section. To make up for this we present a Firefight featured episode […]

UPDATE: Extra Part has been released. HD download only! Did anyone mention HPAW Retro? No I don’t mean old games, I mean old cast. That’s right we have Nw Striker AND WorldGone Awry in the studio for this special expansion. I say special expansion because a lot of what I saw during the marathon wasn’t […]
