Video game reviews are a big part of the industry. Release dates are anticipated, embargoes are established, and review scores land around the internet simultaneously. Gamers can’t wait to see what the hot new title will score. But how does it all work? What’s the history of game reviews, and what do they really mean? How does one become a game reviewer? We answer all that, and more, in this month’s edition of the Two Button Crew podcast.

Every day, a new video game is made. Every other day, a sequel is created. But far less often does a THIRD entry see the light of day. That’s the topic of this month’s podcast! Join our panel of four (not three) hosts as we discuss the threequels we’ve missed out on for Nintendo platforms. We also delve into the WHY: why does this happen? What makes the gaming industry such a risky place for a sequel to a sequel? Enjoy the discussion, and give us your thoughts as well!

Video game related movies are historically… well, just plain awful. But Nintendo has partnered with Illumination Entertainment to bring Mario to the big screen once again. Should we be excited? Scared? Is Mario going to talk? We’ll address all of those questions, as well as talk at length about which video game movies we actually enjoy!

TBC 008: Game Preservation

Preservation is the idea of keeping something in tact—the act of taking measures to ensure things won’t fade away, become corrupted, forgotten, or unusable. Sadly, preservation is not currently a priority for the larger gaming industry. These days, developers make money by shipping an incomplete game, patching it to kingdom come, and deleting the source code when they go out of business. That might be an extreme example, but it does take a great deal of intentionality to make sure today’s favorite games will be playable by our kids and grandkids. It was simpler in the days of cartridges, but with so much riding on the upkeep of servers, cloud saves, and day-one-patches, it might be a scary future for video game preservation if we don’t have some thoughtful conversations. That’s why this month’s podcast is all bout preserving the art form of video games.
