This Week on The Casual Hour…
We take a look at Xbox’s new partner showcase on this week’s show, running down everything from Alan Wake 2 DLC to cool new indie games, and even a game Bobby’s been long anticipating. Plus, we’ve got some early impressions on Metaphor and the new expansion for Diablo IV. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
Our Game of the Year coverage comes to an end with Bobby, Chase and Johnny's personal top 10 games lists, all culminating in our collective show-wide list. Lets enjoy one final look at the games of 2022 and we look forward to talking about 2023's games very soon!
The second and final part of our category podcasts sees Bobby, Chase and Johnny debating on eight new topics including Best Debut, Overachiever of the Year and the spoiler-filled Best Moment or Sequence. And make sure you come back for our last GOTY episode, where we'll discuss our personal top 10 lists and build our collective show's top 10 games of 2022!
Tis the season of GOTY, and we've got a full week of content lined up for you. Our Day 1 episode features a smattering of categories from "Best New Character" to the always contentious "Best Style." Stay tuned all week as we debate even more categories leading up to our personal top 10s as well as our final top 10 for the show. GOTY season is officially in full swing on The Casual Hour!
It’s our final show before our GOTY series begins. What last minute cramming has the crew been up to? Chase finished Norco, Bobby’s gone deep into Marvel’s Midnight Suns and Johnny has become Unbound in the new Need For Speed. Plus, we’ve got live reactions from The Game Awards. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
It’s a December to remember sales event, as we take a look at the remaining 2022 titles still on the release slate. Will something slip into our GOTY hearts just under the deadline? Could it be Need For Speed of all things? Meanwhile, everyone’s played the new Pokemon games and we all have some thoughts that we just need to share. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
What better way to celebrate the launching of a new Pokémon game than by holding a tournament to see which one is the worst? The boys have each submitted six of what they consider to be the worst monsters to ever show their faces across all eight generations of the beloved franchise. Eighteen Pokémon enter, but only one can be crowned The Worst Pokémon.
Things are weird. We get existential about social media, ponder why Sony is making so many odd business decisions and we excitedly look to more cool indie games coming to Nintendo Switch. Also, Bobby and Johnny have spent every free minute playing the brand new God of War Ragnarok, and we fire up the grill for some hot takes. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
