Markers on the Map: A Gaming Adventure

Episode 89: Not E3 Fest Part 1

Where's everyone going? Bingo? It's the first week of the Summer Games Fest, so we're talking all about Sony's State of Play, Limited Run Games' showcase, and Sega's all-too-brief Sonic Central event. We've got new information on Resident Evil 4 Remake, Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter 6, Stray, Sonic Frontiers, and more. There's still so much Summer Games Fest to come, as well! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 88: Dinowire Evolution

Not one long-form discussion, but two! This week, we take a look at Ghostwire Tokyo, a modern open world that feels trapped in the seventh generation, as well as the first of Jurassic World Evolution's DLC - the Secrets of Dr. Wu. Criticisms and complexities abound as we take the opportunity to really discuss these games during the light news week before Summer Games Fest begins! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 87: The Grookey’s Paw

Story time. This week, we explore updates and missteps with the Pokemon HOME application, take a look at Warner Bros' Multiversus beta, and chat a little about what we'd like to see in the future of the Mario Kart franchise. There's also a little more information on PS+ Premium, and a Wonderlands update that caused many people to temporarily lose their progress. Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 86: The Accessible Loop

Can't go wrong with more options. This week, we revisit Deathloop with its latest patch - including a new selection of game-changing features. It's a different approach to Arkane's creative world. We also delve into Fall Guys' move into the free-to-play space, as well as the first batch of games releasing under Playstation Plus Premium. There's a lot this week! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 85: Embracing the News

Join us for the first of a small handful of "cinematic cutscenes" leading up to our hundredth episode! After that, it's a big news week, with Embracer Group acquiring a trio of Square Enix's western studios, Prince of Persia's continued turbulent development, the cancellation of last-gen versions of Gotham Knights, and a whole bunch of other stories. We also chat a little about Switch Sports' chambara. Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 84: The Force Rereleased

A secret game. This week, we're looking at the Switch's rerelease of 2008's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The game might be old, but it does have a few new tricks up its sleeve. Before that, though, we've got a few big discussions that somehow ended up in the news section - the FPS genre and the popularity of the Borderlands series as the movie draws ever closer. Stick around till the end for a teaser of sorts! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 83: The Open World Problem

Sega, we're begging you. This week, we look at the modern open world game to see what works and what doesn't, as well as a co-op shooter that's actually fun in Aliens Fireteam Elite. We've also got a bunch of new release dates, like Sonic Origins, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, and the new tiers of Playstation Plus. We also go way too hard in this week's Pokemon Drip featuring the player characters from Sun and Moon. Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 82: Super Tuff Soul Melter

Hold the tomatoes. This week, we're still on a Kirby kick as we look at the road to achieving 100% on both Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and 2018's Kirby Star Allies. Both are wildly different games, but only one currently has one of the most amazing bonuses in the gaming world. Which one is it? You'll have to listen to find out. Plus we've got a ton of news this week - nothing earth-shattering, just good old-fashioned news! Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 81: Forgotten Lands Between

Hollywood Knuckles. This week, it's apocalyptic as Kirby and the Tarnished explore their own uniquely designed and incredibly fun worlds. That's right, we delve into Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Elden Ring's tougher moments. We also chat a little about the new Sonic 2 movie, with no spoilers, of course. There's even news this week, like the unveiling of Kingdom Hearts 4. Check us out on Twitter @MarkersOnTheMap.

Episode 80: Multi-Tiered Deluxe

Why have simple, when you can have complicated? This week, we're discussing the new tiers of Playstation Plus - the good and the bad. We're also taking a look at the beginning hours of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and the first wave of new tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course DLC.
