Game Mess Decides

Latest Episodes:

240: WE'VE HAD OUR FUN Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

We need some ground rules for this podcast! But first, Moon Studios sounds like an insufferable place to work. Also, The Initiative and Gran Turismo 7 are a mess, maybe? Editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti then answer your questions.

239: PLURALIZED LONELINESS Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Michael Pachter says PlayStation is doomed, but no one agrees -- especially not NPD analyst Mat Piscatella! Speaking of Mat, he dropped the latest gaming report for February. Elden Ring came out on top, but everything is selling well while new-gen consoles are still constrained by their supply. Also, Dead Space is coming early 2023, Gotham Knights lands October 25, and Russia is still invading a country and the world is trying to figure out how to respond. Editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti, meanwhile, do their best to answer your questions. Join them, won't you?
