Today we are exploring the Unova region in our quest to become the very best, like no one ever was, in Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s Pokémon White.

If you are a regular listener to the podcast, you will know that I recently reviewed Pokémon Scarlet, crowning it as my personal ‘best Pokémon game ever’. After posting my Quick Review of the game to Youtube, I got a lot of push back from Pokémon, how should we say. . . enthusiasts, saying that Pokémon White was a better game because it has a better story.

So is Pokémon White really better than Pokémon Scarlet or is it just nostalgia talking, let's find out in this week's episode.

Today we are blasting off with Team Asobi’s highly rated, mascot 3D platformer; Astro Bot.

When beating the demo for Astro’s Playroom I remember thinking to myself ‘this guy needs his own game’. Four years later he got it, but is the game really that good? How much does Sony nostalgia play into its success and is it a worthy rival to Super Mario? Let's find out on this week's episode.
