    Watch Out For Fireballs 520: Neon White

    They're called neons, sinners plugged from hell to do God's dirty work. But it's hard to believe they're in heaven. Old friends, ex lovers... only one of them can stay in heaven and White has a score to settle. Producer Gwen joins Kaye to discuss this speed-run focused platforming/visual novel hybrid. We like it! With some caveats.

    Watch Out For Fireballs 518: Loop Hero

    You make your decision to listen a podcast, you listen while you do not move, you die. You make another decision to listen to a different episode. Yet again, you do not move. You die. But at least you have a few of the meta resources you need to live a little bit longer. This is kind of what playing Loop Hero is like.

    Watch Out For Fireballs 517: Arcade Special 4

    Ah, the arcade. The once-only home of video games has become a nostalgia center for the old at heart. We explore the still extant arcade scene and see what's out there that we're less familiar with. It's still a fairly robust scene!

    [PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs 516: Rage

    What would it take for id to make a game that's so unremarkable, we barely remember it exists? Rage is here to answer that question. Chasing so many trends, Rage barely feels like a game at all some times. Paired with it's non-descript name, it was almost destined to be forgotten.

    Watch Out for Fireballs! 514: The Last Spell

    The Last Spell is an intricate tactical RPG with a roguelite structure that could possibly become your forever game. By day you build a base, and by night to fight to protect it from vast hordes of mutant zombies. We reflect on why something that feels like it was made for us in a lot of ways might fall short of becoming a new obsession.

    [PREVIEW] Watch Out For Fireballs 513: Resident Evil Requiem

    Our (collective) favorite video game series is back! Nine entries deep and we're still having a blast playing as Leon Kennedy and series newcomer Grace Ashcroft. This time we're investigating a mysterious sickness that seems to be haunting the survivors of the Raccoon City incident.

    Watch Out For Fireballs 512: Halo Wars

    So many master chiefs! Halo returns in this RTS spin-off, where the war against the flood takes a slightly different perspective. Can you stop the primordial forces trying to destroy the universe? Probably not seeing as there's more Halo games after this.

    Watch Out For Fireballs 510: We Love Katamari

    Watch Out For Fireballs 510: Dead Space 2

    Everyone's favorite sci-fi idiot is back and this time there are MORE zombies or whatever. Dead Space 2 iterates on the rough edges of Dead Space 1, but it does it ultimately move the needle? The game remains as dedicated as ever to it's third-person in-world HUD, but we must question whether that actually makes things any scarier.
