Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast

It's the end of the year and the Beat of the Month crew are reflecting on all of the games we played in 2021. The best games we played, the worst games we played, the most over hyped games, games we really wanted to play but didn't get around to...and more! We cover the heavy hitters that you would expect - Halo Infinite, Ratchet and Clank, Metroid Dread, Deathloop. We've also got a ton of additional games we talk about (which may or may not have come out in 2021). As 2021 rounds to a close we hope you join us!

The Beat of the Month crew continue to celebrate October by taking a spin through a recent horror game phenomenon - Dead By Daylight. Maybe not so much a deep dive as a shallow wading, but we took a few 'stabs' at this online multiplayer horror game to see why it has garnered so much attention. Do we fully understand all the ins and outs this game had to offer? Hmmm....not really. But we played enough to share our initial impressions. We also include some 'live' audio clips of us in the middle of a few matches. Whether you are a seasoned killer or just trying to survive to see the light of day, there's something here for everyone to enjoy - including as always some 'Dead' trivia. So find a dark corner, put your headphones on, and join us!

The Beat of the Month crew reflect on their favorite (and least favorite) boss fights of all time! There are a TON of games that we talk about including Metal Gear Solid, Shadow of the Colossus, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more! We also talk a bit about boss fights in general - how important are boss fights in a game? What are the most annoying types of bosses? What makes a good boss fight? And then as usual we round things out with some boss trivia. Do you know who the final boss was in Twisted Metal 2? Listen in to find out!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and the Beat of the Month crew are taking some time to reflect on what games we are thankful for. Not necessarily the greatest games ever made, but games that we are glad exist or that we have fond memories of.

We look through a cornucopia of games including some early Nintendo classics, some more obscure titles like Steel Battalion, some more recent heavy hitters such as Witcher 3 - and more! We also have a round table discussion and compare various games to classic Thanksgiving dishes. What's a game that you would consider the main course turkey? How about a game that provides the comfort of mac and cheese? Or the Remastered HD gravy that made Xenoblade extra special on Switch?

Lastly - tune in to hear who won our giveaway for a free year of Nintendo Switch Online w/ Expansion Pack! We hope you enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving!
