 This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger, Trina, Zeb, and Asa ask the big question: are we drowning in too many good games? From growing backlogs to the challenges of reviewing while still trying to game for fun, the crew explores how the abundance of quality games impacts players, reviewers, and even indie devs trying to break through. Plus, we spotlight upcoming releases, what we’re playing right now—including Mecha BREAK, Warframe, Blueprints, and Missile Command Delta—and reveal which Nintendo classics Zeb has somehow never played (prepare to gasp).

Are We Drowning in Too Many Good Games? | The Gamerheads Podcast

This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, we welcome back Dave Proctor, director at Mighty Yell, to talk about their latest title: Missile Command Delta. We dig into the game's bold mix of visual novel storytelling and tactical strategy, and how the team channeled the spirit of ‘80s action films to bring the world to life. 

Dave also shares what it was like partnering with 13AM Games, designing puzzles, and building the narrative. Plus, we get into the challenges (and fun) of reimagining a classic arcade game for a whole new audience.

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! This week, Roger Reichardt is joined by Luke Lewis from LukeWarmGames to talk about the growing trend of video game adaptations hitting the big and small screens. From the breakout success of The Last of Us to the new Super Mario Bros. movie — and some concerns about the upcoming Legend of Zelda film — they break down what’s working, what’s not, and what it all means for gaming culture.

They also chat about their favorite narrative-driven games, dream about what games they'd love to see adapted next, and review the delightfully weird Promise Mascot Agency.
