Sonic The Hedgehog (OVA)

On this episode of Bullet Time, we wrap up our look at the Condemned series with its unhinged sequel, Bloodshot. James, Snake, and special guest 2joe return to the streets of Metro on an adventure that's mechnically richer but far sillier in tone.

On this episode of Movies We Like, Sweed, Snake and James return to talk Sonic the Hedgehog; the character, the videogame, and the Original Video Animation from 1996. The boys also pitch a billion-dollar movie idea.

On this episode of Bullet Time, James and guest host TehSnakerer go back to where it all began with Rare's 2005 shooter Perfect Dark Zero.

On this episode of Bullet Time, our miniature mini-series on 2K Marin comes to a close with their second and final release: 2013’s The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. James and guest host TehSnakerer open the book on this redacted part of XCOM history, digging into its initial prototypes and development hurdles, before a much needed autopsy of this alien relic of the prestige FPS era.

On this episode of Bullet Time, we begin our shortest mini-series focusing on the work of Novato based developers 2K Marin, beginning with their 2010 shooter sequel Bioshock 2. Video maker Sputnik34 returns for this return to the dystopia of Rapture. We ask whether Irrational's underwater paradise lost its lustre without the vision of its great leader, and just how important are big guns to big games?

On this episode of Bullet Time, Jackie Estacado returns in Digital Extremes’ 2012 follow up to The Darkness, aptly titled The Darkness II. Also returning is video maker ZacFraizer to join James in discussion of this lateral sequel that’s as good as the first but in a very different way. The two also talk about the career of FPS stalwarts Digital Extremes, excellent gun feel, and the mama mia pizza pasta voice.

On this episode of Bullet Time, video maker ZacFraizer makes his triumphant return for one of the better games covered on the pod so far: Starbreeze’s 2007 shooter The Darkness. This episode goes long, and includes a spoilered section between 02:16:00 and 03:22:00. In this bumper length runtime we talk developer history, the origins of The Darkness, its unique atmosphere, and place in the pantheon of “prestiege FPS games”.

On this episode of Bullet Time, returning guest Matty from YouTube channel Stoked joins James and guest host TehSnakerer to dispense justice on the streets of Mega City One with Rebellion Development’s 2003 shooter Judge Dredd: Dredd vs. Death. The three dig into the comic’s history and previous adaptations, Maxim’s games journalism, and for some reason grow ops. This episode going out on July 4th was purely coincidential.
