In this month's episode of the Playcast, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) address these strange times as they travel to the fantastical world of Albion, the setting of Lionhead Studio's Fable II. The guys discuss the ins-and-outs of the game's story, battle mechanics, gameplay, graphics, sounds, and the game's one-of-a-kind morality system. Speaking of morality....the fellas get a bit cheeky as they discuss the current state of our world and government. It goes without saying, but we will, that the opinions herein are those of the hosts and in no way reflect the views of RF Generation. So welcome to this special episode of the Playcast; we hope you enjoy the listen as you practice your social distancing.

This month, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) discuss three games from Nintendo's popular Star Fox franchise: the original Star Fox on the Super Nintendo, Star Fox 64, and the previously unreleased Star Fox 2. The guys go through the ins and outs of these shooters as they discuss the stories, the gameplay, the graphics, the music, and which of the three titles is their favorite. While Shawn is a fan and veteran of the series, Rich only dabbled in the original game when he was younger and had a less favorable opinion of the game. Will these games hold up for Shawn? And will playing the newer iterations of the Star Fox series change Rich's mind? Tune in to find out!

Last month, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) went to the "dark side" as they played a title that was both very thought-provoking and contraversial in Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. In this episode, the guys not only discuss the game's features and mode of play, but also dive deeper into the developer's concept and what they hoped to accomplish with this game. Did their efforts meet up to the guys' expectations and standards, or did it fall short of its mark?
