| Watch Out For Fireballs 492: Silent Hill 2 (2024) | 09 Oct 2025 | 02:45:00 | |
How far would you go to run away from your own guilt? Team Bloober takes a swing at reimaging the uncontested horror game classic that is Silent Hill 2. The game looks great, but does it overstay its welcome attempting to scare you senseless? This game is massive, which can lead to the horror it's attempting to peddle becoming a little stale by the end. | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 486: Split Fiction | 14 Aug 2025 | 01:48:53 | |
This week Gary welcomes acquaintance of the network Will Hughes (Everything to Guppy) to the co-host chair to discuss Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction. This podcast is half science fiction, half fantasy. In the fantasy half, we pretend that stories aren't based on a writer's experiences in life. In the sci-fi half, we send you this podcast through the power of space lasers. Split Fiction has a lot of really cool ideas, but still fails as a story in some fundamental ways. We want to praise the game, but also give it some slaps on the wrist for it's less-than-par writing. | |||

| Watch Out for Fireballs! 485: Metroid: Zero Mission | 07 Aug 2025 | 01:01:58 | |
What happens when you give the original Metroid a glow-up with the Super Metroid engine? A lot of cool stuff, and some weird stuff. It's not a perfect fit, but the result is still the second best Metroid game ever made. | |||
| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 418: The Order: 1886 (Premium) | 23 Nov 2023 | 00:46:00 | |
Video games are... bad actually? This week we talk about the well-known Sony PS4 misstep of The Order 1886. It is bad. But is is bad for all the reasons people say it's bad? Being short doesn't make a game bad, and we firmly believe this. But uh... there are other reasons to call it not a good game. Tune in to find out! | |||

Who's ready for pistol packing, car jacking and lazy satire? | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 415: Sayonara Wild Hearts | 02 Nov 2023 | 01:04:27 | |
Propulsive and immediately visually arresting, Sayonara Wild Hearts is a unique action rhythm hybrid that aims to be inviting to new players. Also, Queen Latifah is there. | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch: Feel-Bad Media | 26 Oct 2023 | 01:42:37 | |

| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 414: Signalis (Premium) | 19 Oct 2023 | 00:46:42 | |
This is the kind of sci fi where everyone is still using CRTs and cassette tapes. For the sake of vibes. This week we talk about Signalis, a tribute to the tight, zippy horror titles of the PS1 library. What lessons did Signalis learn from the classics of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and how can they best be applied to the modern video game landscape? The real horror... is when you tune in. | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 413: Dredge | 12 Oct 2023 | 01:34:19 | |
How many sticks of dynamite do you think it takes to dynamite fish for Cthulhu? Three? Do you think three is enough? | |||

Well, well, well. If it isn't Hell, Hell, Hell. This week we talk about DOOM Eternal, the follow up to the pitch perfect modernization that was 2016's DOOM. Bethesda obviously couldn't just give us the same game again, so how did they complicate it for the sequel? Does it still make our hearts pump just as fast? The only way to find out is to listen in. | |||

| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 408: Lisa: The Painful (Premium) | 24 Aug 2023 | 01:04:55 | |
This week we cover Lisa: The Painful. It is both hilarious and also very, very wrong about the nature of what it means to be a broken person. An interesting, albeit sadistic game. How does the game try to break you? Does breaking you translate into a better game? Or is it just interesting? Tune in to find out! | |||

It's like Zelda, but you're also at a rave. This week we're covering the cross-over smash hit that combines Crypt of the Necrodancer with the Legend of Zelda. The resulting game is less demanding than Crypt, and a loving tribute to our favorite triangle-elves. How did the devs manage to pull it off? Where did they find the middle ground between the two titles? Tune in to find out! | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch: Embodiment | 31 Jul 2025 | 01:58:13 | |
You are a body. In a video game, you are a body sometimes. Other times, you are a menu, representing a body. What does a game really need to get you to embody the story it wants to tell? Upcoming Games: September: | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 403: Jak II | 13 Jul 2023 | 02:32:15 | |
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 402: Burnout Paradise | 06 Jul 2023 | 01:18:12 | |
Depending on how you count it, you've either killed hundreds of people in Burnout Paradise, or no one. Because there are no people anywhere. | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch: Good Basic Enemies | 28 Jun 2023 | 02:05:36 | |

| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 401: Resident Evil 4 Remake (Premium) | 22 Jun 2023 | 00:59:36 | |
An absolute unit of an episode here. This week we talk about the modern remake of an absolute classic, Resident Evil 4. Did it even need to be remade? Probably not, but that doesn't mean it's not just as good the second time around. What did Capcom decide was worth updating? What hasn't moved an inch? Tune in to find out! | |||
| Watch Out for Fireballs! 400: Pentiment | 15 Jun 2023 | 03:23:45 | |
A SUPER PAINTER NAMED ANDREAS | |||

| Watch Out for Fireballs! 398: 7/10 Games | 01 Jun 2023 | 01:00:58 | |
7 out of 10. Quite a remarkable number really. Not big enough to be 8, not small enough to be 6, definitely too large to be 5, but if could be 9 if you squint in a certain light. | |||
| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch Roundup: Q2 2023 | 30 May 2023 | 00:05:00 | |

| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 397: Bowser's Fury (Premium) | 18 May 2023 | 00:31:54 | |
Nobody saw Bowser's Fury coming. What could have been just a little extra something to sweeten the pot on another port from the Wii U ended up being a fully-featured and inventive 3D Mario game. It's snack-sized and packed with new ideas, chief among them being the Fury Bowser kaiju fights. But also classic course-based Mario challenges set in an open world. We dig it, and we think you'll dig it too. | |||
| [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs 484: The Talos Principle (Premium) | 24 Jul 2025 | 00:37:38 | |
Can a robot's heart beat like a man's? What makes us human? Probably puzzle solving. Robots can't solve puzzles. Prove me wrong, kids. | |||
