This week the Beat of the Month crew jump into uncharted territory with a look at Real Time Strategy games! Most of us haven't played a whole lot of games in the genre, but we took a dive into a few games such as Halo Wars, Ogre Battle 64, and more! We also talk a bit about some new games outside the genre such as Little Nightmares 2 and Metroid Dread. Our actions per minute may be limited, but the laughs per minute are as plentiful as ever! OK maybe that was a bit cheesy. Also, if you were curious on the current state of Long John Silvers, we've got you covered - enjoy!

47: IGN's Best Game Ever: A Retrospective
8 RecommendationsBack in September, IGN hosted a bracket to determine the best game ever made. Some complete omissions, early eliminations, and the final result all had some controversy. So, the Beat of the Month crew decided to look at the entire bracket - match up by match up - and share our thoughts. Batman: Arkham City vs. Super Mario 64? Rise of the Tomb Raider vs. Half-Life 2? Burnout 3: Takedown vs. Chrono Trigger - easy decisions, right? Maybe not...
We also discuss how the IGN list was chosen and what considerations should be made when deciding a 'best' games list. We close out with discussion on what games were omitted that we feel should have been included. It was a lot of fun to cover a huge list of great game matchups, so please join us!

2 RecommendationsThis week the Beat of the Month crew give the definitive list of the best Real Time Strategy games of all time! OK...maybe not quite that definitive since our expertise in this genre is a bit lacking. But, we at least name drop Civilization and Starcraft to try and save face. We do reach into the depths of our knowledge to come up with some of our favorites. Are they all truly RTS games? Well, don't judge us too harshly. But if you're an RTS fan then give our trivia at the end of the episode a shot and see how you rank against the Beat of the Month crew - we hope you enjoy!
