Lot's of games this month! It's probably easier to just list them than think of something funny to say. Dennis: Weird West, PGA Tour 2K23, and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue. Michael: Iratus: Lord of the Dead, Inscryption, and Cult of the Lamb. Kyle: Overwatch 2, Splatoon 3, Prodeus, and Grounded. Thank the gods that next […] The post 077: New To Video Games first appeared on We Played Some Games.
Now that we’ve been schooled by the curator Art of Video Games, Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Justin finish their analysis of the winners lists and move on to the modern eras. From the N64 to the PS3 see which selections awed us and which raised eyebrows. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow Truthfully, we could have gone another full episode on the Art of Video Games exhibition, but we do somehow manage to get through the modern eras this week. That isn’t until after we take a Ninja detour through Swamp Brothers territory. Then, it’s all about the games, where we show arcade games some love and make some of nominations of our own because every museum needs Splatterhouse representation. In Era 4 we realize just how damn fun the Nintendo 64 was and mourn Sega’s confusion and demise. Era 5 leads to a good old fashioned fight over the legitimacy of Fallout 3, but we come together in the end to express our adoration for the exhibition as a whole. Our Horrible Game Night is coming up soon and Justin answers questions about our featured games. Ethan takes us home with a man-sized hug for Serious Sam.
