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.

Speech Jammer Challenge
The bonus materials for Patrons from this episode turned out as pure gold!
Speech jammers are devious contraptions that capture your audio and repeat them back to you via headphones, with a catch… a big delay that makes it very difficult to focus on what is coming out of your mouth. What then, will the results be when Simeon and Scott attempt to read humorous Nintendo-related snippets while hooked up to such an apparatus? Good news; you won’t have to look further than this episode for the answer to that question!

Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast
This podcast occasionally contains too much water…
There are a lot of Nintendo podcasts for fans to listen to, but there is one that rises above the rest and sets itself apart from the competition. That one podcast is Nintendo Voice Chat, a podcast made by IGN and hosted by Jose Otero, Peer Schneider, and Brian Altano. Those three hosts make sure we have a great time every Friday, as well as provide insightful looks into the industry. This podcast is pure Nintendo fan gold, so don’t pass it up. Give it a try! And if you’re just not a podcast listener, they’re really great for taking with you on your commute to work, or for mundane tasks like doing the laundry or the dishes. You’ll be hooked on podcasts and hooked on NVC. Thanks for the great podcast, IGN!
