This episode’s topic, games with controversial content, was inspired by some of the reactions I’ve seen to one of the scenes in the recent release Beyond: Two Souls. I think, on the whole, we have a pretty good discussion again. As usual, there were a few points that Gerry and Woodward were able to bring to mind that I hadn’t previously considered. On the whole, though, I think there is a time and a place for controversial content, and in some cases I think we’d be doing ourselves a disservice to avoid a product simply because it evokes negative emotions.
We also discuss the new Pokemon X/Y games, Tokyo Jungle and Nuclear Throne.
You can find more of Gerry’s content at Geek Bravado or his YouTube channel.
