Boasting a controller with over 40 buttons across 3 different panels, two joysticks, 3 foot pedals, a near 40 page operations manual, and the biggest box you've ever seen, we finally get together to play the original Xbox "holy grail" STEEL BATTALION. Is it just a pricey gimmick, or a tried and true mech suit simulation experience? Is it worth the price?

Check out the YouTube version of this podcast episode to see the controller in action as we played the game!

Pulled from the year 2004, Nate's pick for this Is It Worth It brings tons of hip-hop artists right into an environmental arena fighting game (or wrestling depending on who you ask). Is it one of the best fighting games ever made, or is it a rose tinted nostalgia? Join us as we discuss if the game is worth the price across all three systems.

A ghost online and one of the harder to find titles we've personally seen, Berry brings Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain to the table in a new episode of Is It Worth it? There's a large margin of difference between critic scores and user scores, which was a driving force in the choice of this game. Did we think it was worth it after spending the time playing it?

Originally released as a PS exclusive in 2019, we tackle Days Gone for our newest episode of "Is It Worth It?" We made it through the game (for better or for worse). Does the collector's edition hold up with the price, and does the game play push us to want to buy this?

Our first Working Designs title on the podcast, we played Vanguard Bandits to see if the game was just as stellar as that packaging. A tactical RPG on the Playstation 1 similar to other games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Front Mission, we take a look at story, gameplay, graphics, sound, and collectibility to discuss if the price is really worth it. Boasting over 50 different missions across 3 playthroughs, this game has a lot to offer. But was it enough to keep on our shelf?

We tackle the 2D to 3D transitions in video games, which ones did it well, and which ones just flopped? Maybe there were some titles that should have stayed in the 2D realm, while others really benefited from the jump. We talk about individual games that were great, and also entire genres that fit the bill seamlessly, also those that failed.

Hit us up on Discord (link in the episode show notes) and share your thoughts. Which games were your favorite 2D to 3D moves?

One of Nate's heavy hitters Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness for the N64. Highly debated, removed from Castlevania canon, is it a game that's really worth the steep price? Should you really invest in this game or just keep it at arm's length?

Everybody has their opinion about remakes and remasters in video games. We take the time to talk about the currently market of nostalgia, is it ruined by the constant push for remakes? Or is this good for the game industry? And how does it affect collecting older titles if they just remade or rereleased?

Our first episode of 2024, Bryan brings it in guns blazing with Gunstar Super Heroes on GameBoy Advance. Is this sequel/remake/but-not-a-sequel/sort-of-also-not-a-remake worth the price? We played it and bring our thoughts on gameplay, story, sound, graphics, and collectibility for our ultimate answer to the collecting question, Is It Worth It?

It's been an absolutely crazy year. Not only with the multitude of incredible releases this year, but with the show as well. Thanks for giving these three nerds a full year worth of episodes. Berry, Nate, and Bryan talk about surprises and disappointment this year, games we played, what stood out, and our favorite moments on the show.

Thanks again and we look forward to a full year in 2024!

October is upon us, and so is an iconic horror choice! Splatterhouse, a staple for the Turbo Grafx-16, is this spooky and notoriously censored game worth the value? We go through the whole thing and talk about all the points in consideration. Is this a game worth having in a collection?

New Episode Alert! Nate wanted to have some fun on this episode, and challenged us to try to convince you why you shouldn't play some of our favorite video game titles. Of course, we will always love these games. But sometimes it's hard to recommend, and here's some reasons why.
What games do you love that you also just would not recommend? Is it bad? Is it difficult? Is it just outdated?

An iconic series in manga and anime, spanning decades since the 1984, Berry brings us the most beloved title in the DBZ video game library. Boasting a 98 character roster in 161 various forms, it's got it all when it comes to Dragon Ball. With the announcement of Budokai Tenkaichi 4's development, fans of the franchise are going nuts. But why? What made this game so loved? Is it actually good, and is it actually worth the price? And the most important question....who is your favorite character?

Our newest episode is live! Variants! Oh boy do we have a lot of variants in video games. Misprints, greatest hits, alternate covers, the list is endless. Bryan brings us a topic he's extremely interested in collecting, and we discuss the good, the bad, and the supremely ugly of variant collecting in video games. Variant collecting is a bit uncommon in the greater community, but we've taken a deep dive in our discussion.

Collector's Editions. Video games are often credited with popularizing them in the early 2000s. Have they gone too far? Chock full of items from steelbooks and keychains, to a custom-built zombie proof shelf and an actual Lamborghini. Join us as we discuss our thoughts and expectations for collector's editions, and if the industry itself has flown a little too close to the sun.
