Happy Halloween to all the Solo Gamers of the world! This week, our hosts share ideas about what they feel would be fresh and interesting takes for horror gaming.

This week, it's time to stop and take a look around the gaming world. EA gets bought out by some shady figures, Xbox increases game pass pricing AGAIN, and the new ROG Xbox Ally X and S has launched to decent but mixed reviews. Can we buy anything that doesn't directly contribute to human suffering? How quickly will we go totally insane if we actually try and answer that question?

This week, our co-hosts brave the darkest corners of the video game realm to discuss some of the best (or should it be worst?) horror settings in gaming. From the Ocean View Motel to the USG Ishimura, no creaky door goes unopened.

In the latest episode of The Experience Point, our hosts take the bathysphere to the sunken world of Rapture and discuss this all-time classic!

In this episode of the Solo Gamer Podcast, host Taylor, along with co-hosts Kyle and Craig, discuss their current gaming experiences, including house-sitting and the challenges of finding time to play games. They delve into the importance of preserving retro games and share their thoughts on horror games like Silent Hill 2 and Lies of P. The conversation shifts to RPGs, where they recommend beginner-friendly titles and explore the evolution of gaming, including the redemption arc of Cyberpunk 2077. The episode highlights the joy of shared gaming experiences and the impact of community in the gaming world. In this episode, the hosts explore various RPGs, discussing their personal experiences and recommendations for newcomers. They highlight the accessibility of games like Diablo III and Skyrim, the narrative depth of the Mass Effect series, and the unique mechanics of Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2. The conversation also touches on tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem Awakening and the immersive experience of Fallout 1, emphasizing the importance of character development and player choice in role-playing games.

This week on The Solo Gamer Podcast, Ian and Kyle discuss their gaming "bucket list." More than just a backlog, these are gaming achievements that may very well take us the rest of our gaming lives!

While we generally love to celebrate the best in single player gaming, sometimes our hopes can get the best of us. On this week's episode we discuss a handful of titles that did not live up to their hype, or didn't meet our expectations in some way. What are some game release that let you down?

This week on The Solo Gamer Podcast, our hosts take a bit of left turn from the usual fare. Ian, Taylor, and Kyle are all massive NFL fans and secretly wish they were also hosting a second podcast about just that. So for one week, we indulge in a discussion about the fall of Madden, the re-introduction of EA's College Football franchise, and the revel over the possibilities of the upcoming NFL season.
