Dann and Thaddeus go for the ultimate air juggle as they talk about Devil May Cry 5. Can this series light a fire for series fans or is it style over substance?Next we discuss Sega's decision to pull Judgement in Japan. This is due to a voice actor's controversial arrest linked to cocaine. Seems like this Detective drama in the Yakuza Universe got a little too real.Finally we wave goodbye to SoundCloud and celebrate our new home on Libsyn.

The new game by Hideo Kojima. Already tearing the gaming world apart, but does this Strand game walk the walk? Even Dann seems to be having a hard time nailing down his feelings on this divisive but beautiful game.Then we have New Super Lucky's tale. Can a 3D mascot platformer break through the deluge of open world, games as a service modernity? This fancy fox is gonna try
