The Rock Star Game

Rockstar’s recently announced re-release of Red Dead Redemption has a lot of fans feeling seriously disappointed, with good reason. Some of the backlash is a result of high expectations, but this latest port doesn’t do Rockstar’s legacy justice. That said, what other older Rockstar games need to be playable on modern consoles while we’re waiting around for GTA 6? Max, Jada and special guest MrMidasGames share their picks. In other news, Baldur’s Gate III is shaping up to be one of the densest RPGs in ages, and its deep systems might be a bit daunting to newcomers unfamiliar with D&D rules. Despite so many traditionally turn-based games making the shift to real time combat, we’re happy Larian Studios didn’t try to reinvent the wheel (or the D20) for this long-anticipated sequel. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge was a fitting successor to the original TMNT Arcade Game, so we wax nostalgic about which beloved 80s and 90s cartoons are deserving of modern throwback video games. Plus, some amusing features have been introduced in the PS5’s latest update beta, and a discussion of usefulness of the Sony’s upcoming cloud handheld slash glorified controller, the Project Q.
