Episode 97: LeBron Mains

The new meta. This week, we're taking a look at, well, three fighters published by WB games. Mortal Kombat 11, Injustice 2, and Multiversus take the spotlight - the good and the bad of all of them.

Episode 96: Cat Game

Two words: meow button. This week, we delve into the cyberpunk world of Stray, a long-awaited game where you play as a cat.

We also talk about the grand Season of the Haunted in Destiny 2, and groan about skill-based matchmaking in Fall Guys. Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 95: Gameplace

A super special episode! Back in the early 90s, an episode of Gameplace was filmed. In the early 2000s, interviews were placed in the episode in scenes where the footage was destroyed. In this episode, Gameplace Hospital transforms into Super Mario World as our heroes find themselves face-to-face with many perils as they try to protect their new friend Yoshi. It's our tribute to Garth Marenghi's Darkplace! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 94: Shadow Warrior Shining Bright

Like Doom, but fast-forwarded. Spoiler alert: this week, we're looking at what may come to be an overlooked game in the highly impressive Shadow Warrior 3. In this third installment, the game draws from fast-paced shooters like Doom Eternal to create a roller coaster of a ride that starts at 100% and never lets up. Then, we gotta rant about Rockstar...
