In a thrilling follow-up to last week’s episode, The Electronic Wireless Show podcast today discusses sequels and series seseses, in light of some surprise announcements of sequels over the last week (Nate isn’t here today, but maybe he’ll return in the next entry? You’ll have to listen to find out). In games we seem to accept that a series running for decades, over many, many sequels, is just kind of normal. What’s the deal with that? Would games be better without sequels? Who knows? Us. We do. We talk about it today.
We also talk about the games we’ve been playing this week, which includes quite a variety given there’s only two of us. Plus: some interesting hardware news, and some lovely recommendations at the end of the pod.
