The DayOne Show | A Video Games Podcast

A new metroidvania title that seems to take the best bits of games like Little Nightmares, Dead Space and throws in a little twin-stick shooting for good measure. This debut release from the team at Section 9 may have flown under your radar, so see if this is one you should pick up with our End of Abyss Review.

October begins, and with it, so does Emergence Day! Gears of War: E-Day hogs the spotlight this episode, as reviews have dropped worldwide for what is The Coalition's best ever game. Beyond that, on this episode of Headlines, we dive into recent comments from Xbox CEO on the sale of the brand and more!
On this Episode: Headlines | Emergence Day Begins!

Gears of War: E-Day is the game that cements The Coalition as one of the top developers in gaming. A picture-perfect campaign, full of grit, emotion, brilliant design, and sheer spectacle, takes us through the start of it all. The eponymous Emergence Day sees us through three days and nights of the fall of humanity.
It is a stunning achievement, with excellent gameplay, pacing, and writing. Paired with the incredible delights of Horde Siege and a solid PvP multiplayer, E-Day is as thoroughly compelling a package as I have played this generation.

We're back to talk video games after another turbulent and hectic week in this crazy interesting. We'll break it down in The DayOne Show Episode 332!
As we head into the show, there's plenty of games to talk about this week, and we've also been playing plenty we can't yet talk about. First up is Rivage, a new sci-fi puzzler where the player is trapped in a time loop. Jon's played it, and doesn't like it very much. What he did like is Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, which is an absolute blast to play, even if it's very silly.
Jesse's been juggling plenty of things, from new previews for both The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park and a final look at Valor Mortis before release. The big one however, was Silent Hill: Townfall, which sadly, he didn't love, even though it's mostly reviewed pretty positively. If you're after even more game content, don't forget to check out our reviews for Woodo, Nascar 26, Warcraft 3: Forsaken Kingdom and Sin: Reloaded, just for starters! Nick said he's not played any games this week. Boo, Nick! Boo!
Plenty of News to Deal with!
On the news front, it's fair to say there's a lot to talk about, with PHYSINT/Kojima drama kicking us off, with exorbitant budget rumours, and disagreements among video game pundits and journalists over the whole affair.
The big stuff though, was once again focused around a beleaguered Xbox, who once again angered fans and the industry by detailing the next steps of their ongoing "reset" of the business. This time around saw Halo Studios hit hard with job cuts and Halo move over to Activision, along with Rare and World's Edge. Will it all work out? All this and more in The DayOne Show Episode 332!
