    Xbox Game Passengers

    Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers. One a month, host Derek Kraneveldt and a guest will dissect and discuss one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was (usually) chosen completely at random — they’re not in control… they’re just the passengers. Whether it’s a magical or horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time!

    Welcome to Geekscape’s newest gaming podcast, Xbox Game Passengers.

    Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

    Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show.

    This episode, Mikaela returns to talk about a calming and completely unique puzzle experience in The Gardens Between. The game was one of Mikaela's top three games of PAX West 2018, so naturally she had to come back to the show to chat about it.

    The Gardens Between is a surreal puzzle adventure that follows best friends, Arina and Frendt, as they fall into a mysterious world of beautiful garden islands. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and discover the secrets of each island.

    We’ve had a blast making Xbox Game Passengers so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net. Anything you listeners can do to help spread the word about the podcast would be immensely appreciated — from sharing it on social media like Facebook or Twitter, to leaving us five stars (or even a review) on Apple Podcasts, to sending it to a single friend, it can all make a massive difference! Thanks again for coming along on this ride!

    This episode, John returns to chat with Derek about The Elder Scrolls Online. Neither has played an MMO in years, and both were surprised to learn just how fresh (and just how familiar) an MMO today could feel. The pair detail their favourite quests, how playing a game like this with a controller feels, some silly bugs, and much more!

    Show notes

    Welcome to another very special edition of the Xbox Game Passengers podcast.

    Typically, every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

    Today might be Wednesday, but it still isn't typical. Last week, host Derek and regular guest Mikaela descended on Seattle for the annual PAX West convention. During the show itself, the duo released two special Xbox Game Passengers episodes detailing all of the incredibleexperiences that they had at the show (episode one here, episode two here). Here's another (final) PAX special, this time chock full of interviews with game developers on the show floor. Naturally, we were onthe show floor, surrounded by thousands of people — there's definitely some background

    Here are all of the games featured in the interviews:

    Liberated
    The Suicide Of Rachel Foster
    Wanderlust
    Wavebreak
    Untitled Goose Game
    Dauntless
    No Straight Roads
    Luna: The Shadow Dust
    Stranded Sails
    Spiritfarer
    Magazine
    Sparklight
    Gamedec

    If these special episodes aren't your thing, this will be the last episode for this year's PAX, and with next Wednesday's The Elder Scrolls Online episode, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

    010 - Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition Sep 04, 2019
    Show notes

    Welcome to Geekscape’s newest gaming podcast, Xbox Game Passengers.

    Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

    Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show.

    This episode, Mike returns to chat about one of his favourite series of all time, Gears of War. Specifically, they're playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, the impressive Xbox One remake that sadly (somehow) isn't Xbox One X Enhanced. The duo dish about their favourite moments, their history with the series, and why Derek has to play every game inverted.

    "Experience the game that launched one of the most celebrated sagas in entertainment with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. The shooter that defined the first generation of HD gaming has been painstakingly remastered in 1080P and modernized for Xbox One, and is packed full of new content including five campaign chapters never released on Xbox. The story of "Gears of War" thrusts gamers into a deep and harrowing battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the depths of the planet. Players live and breathe the role of Marcus Fenix. A disgraced former war hero, Marcus seeks personal redemption as he leads his fire team against an onslaught of merciless warriors from below."

    The PAX West 2019 Special #2 Sep 02, 2019
    Show notes

    Welcome to another very special edition of the Xbox Game Passengers podcast.

    Typically, every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

    But... today isn't typical, and today isn't Wednesday. Host Derek and regular guest Mikaela have descended on Seattle for the annual PAX West convention. Yesterday, the duo detailed all of the amazing games that they had the opportunity to experience during Saturday of PAX West 2019, and with another day in the books, they're here to chat about what else... but more games.

    Today they played games like The Suicide of Rachel Foster (which Derek immediately fell in love with), Wave Break(which feels very Tony Hawk's Pro Skater-esque, with some insanely cool multiplayer modes), Cardpocalypse, Dauntlesson Switch (with full cross-play and cross-progression), Her Storyfollow-up Telling Lies, the super-fun and addicting action of Windjammers 2, the intense roller-derby action of Roller Champions, Hitchhiker, the weird and wonderful world of Mutazione,the unbelievably beautiful world of Spiritfarer(which is already confirmed for Xbox Game Pass), the Stardew-esque Stranded Sails, Sparklight, the breathtaking style of Sayanara Wild Heart,and much, much more.

    If this episode isn't your thing, the show will be returning to its regularly scheduled programming on Wednesday, September 4th, when Mike returns to the show to chat about Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.But before then, tomorrow you'll see anotherPAX episode release, and a PAX developer interview special coming later in the week.

    Also, as Derek details pretty early on, he has kind of lost his voice over the past few days, so thanks a ton for bearing with him as he struggles to talk!

    But... today isn't typical, and today isn't Wednesday. Host Derek and regular guest Mikaela have descended on Seattle for the annual PAX West convention. They've spent the day playing a ton of games — some beautiful, some intense, and some featuring impressive hardware, and are simply dying to talk about them.

    The duo spent time with titles like Borderlands 3, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Gamedec, Liberated, MortalKombat 11 (on Google Stadia), Wanderlust, No Straight Roads, Death Stranding, LUNA The Shadow Dust. Derek also got some hands-on time with Panic Inc.'s upcoming Playdate console, and he neededto talk about that. They also hit up events for Cyberpunk 2077, and The Elder Scrolls Online, and share a few details about what was available at each.

    Mostly, they just talk about how freaking cool PAX is, and also how Graveyard Keepermay just have the best booth.

    Welcome to Geekscape’s newest gaming podcast, Xbox Game Passengers.

    Every other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.

    Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show.

    This episode, guest Dougie joins Derek to chat about how many times he's finished Mass Effect (a lot of times), how upset he was at the lack of split-screen in Halo 5: Guardians, and of course, the cyberpunk survival horror game that stars Rutger Hauer, Observer.

    Sounds like a winning combination, doesn't it?

    Also, we definitely recorded this episode long, long before Rutger unfortunately passed away (RIP), so if we sound like dicks, we’re sorry!

    "What would you do if your fears were hacked? >observer_ is a cyberpunk horror game from Bloober Team, the creators of Layers of Fear. Play as an Observer, the new front line of neural police, as you hack into the jagged minds of the insane."

    We're super excited for this episode. Geekscape Games (RIP) alumni Shane O'Hare joins Derek to talk about, well, a lot of things. The duo dish about the old days, tell some inside jokes, the Divergent series, and of course, Xbox Game Studios' surprisingly entertaining platformer, Super Lucky's Tale. Shane also tells us about his initial Xbox Game Pass impressions, and naturally this episode was recorded just before Xbox Game Pass for PC was officially announced, so if it sounds a little out of date, it's because things have changed a lot with Xbox Game Pass in the past couple of months!

    "A delightful, playground platformer for all ages that follows Lucky, the ever-optimistic, energetic, and lovable hero, on his quest to find his inner strength and help his sister rescue the Book of Ages from Jinx. Jinx is the scheming and mysterious villain trying to reshape the world, but for what reason?"
