This week on Play Comics, we're going green with rage as we dive into 2005's The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction – the game that asked the important question: “What if we gave players the power to literally punch a helicopter out of the sky and then use a bus as a baseball bat?” Developed by Radical Entertainment for the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, this comic book adaptation threw subtlety out the window faster than Banner throws a tantrum. Forget stealth missions or carefully planned strategies – this game was all about embracing your inner gamma-powered toddler and turning entire city blocks into your personal sandbox of destruction. Joining us for this episode of controlled chaos is Matt Storm from the fantastic podcasts “Fun” and Games and Reignite! They'll help us explore how this title managed to capture the pure, unadulterated joy of being an unstoppable force of nature with anger management issues. Together, we'll discuss whether throwing cars at military helicopters counts as a valid combat strategy, and why sometimes the best solution to every problem is just… more smashing. So strap in, podcast listeners – we're about to go from zero to “HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!” faster than you can say “you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.” Warning: No buildings, vehicles, or military installations were harmed in the making of this episode… but we can't make the same promise about our gaming controllers. HULK PODCAST! Learn such things as: Does anyone want to play as Bruce Banner? Will anyone write a comic based on a game that's based on a comic? Is this game just a modern retelling of Rampage? And if so, is that a problem? And so much more!

Read transcriptSnikt! Bub, it's time to sharpen those adamantium claws and dive into the convoluted world of X2: Wolverine's Revenge! This week on Play Comics we're slashing our way through a game that's as confusing as Wolverine's own backstory. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of this peculiar title that's supposedly based on X2: X-Men United but seems to have more in common with a fever dream induced by too much Canadian beer. We'll explore how this hack-and-slash adventure managed to claw its way onto the GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and even the tiny screen of the Game Boy Advance. Joining us on this wild ride is none other than Matt Storm from the “Fun” and Games podcast. Together we'll dissect this game faster than Wolverine's healing factor, examining everything from Mark Hamill's gravelly voice work to the inexplicable absence of Hugh Jackman's luscious locks. So grab your favorite yellow spandex, pour yourself a glass of maple syrup, and get ready to rage! This episode is about to go berserker! Learn such things as: Is it a feature or a bug when a game isn't really based on a movie? Gameplay wise, how can you properly handle a character with a healing factor? Have Wolverine fans gotten enough stuff thrown their way yet? And so much more!

The day a new Yakuza / Like a Dragon game drops is like a holiday for me. Imagine my surprise and delight when I realized that we don't have to wait years for new games in the series anymore, as we got the Like a Dragon Ishin! remaster earlier in 2023, and then the connecting game, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name to set up the upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name didn't need to exist, but I think it does a lot of interesting character work with Kiryu, as well as just being plain old fun to play. I'm joined in this episode by Matt aka Stormageddon ("Fun" and Games, Screen Snark, Reignite podcasts (https://linktr.ee/dj_stormagedddon)) and Flora Merigold (Left Behind Game Club podcast (https://leftbehindgame.club/)) to discuss it all!

Bayonetta 3 represents a turning point for the series. A new protagonist is introduced, story takes more of a center stage role, and the levels give you lots of optional content to do in between fights. But all of that raises the question...is all of that worth it? And even more crucially, did it enhance the game? Joining me to discuss it all is Matt aka Stormageddon, host of many great shows on the Certain POV Network, such as "Fun" and Games, Reignite, Screen Snark and CPOV: Autographs.

Welcome to Massively Affected, where I, Josh Silverman, bring on a guest and ask them the not-so-simple question: Why Mass Effect? For our first of two debut episodes of Massively Affected, I'm joined by Matt Storm, host of Reignite, "Fun" & Games Podcast, Screen Snark, and countless other podcast. Matt is a longstanding fan of Mass Effect who I had the good fortune of meeting at PAX East 2020 and subsequently bonding with over our love of a great many things, including the sub-genre of queer space romances. On today's show we dive into Matt's history with Mass Effect and how he was originally exposed to the series. We take a look at his show Reignite, and how the show's book club-esque style has offered him a new vantage on BioWare's beloved trilogy. And of course a whole lotta conversations about what BioWare did right, the missed opportunities, and oh so much more!
