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.

This week on The Solo Gamer Podcast, the guys get caught up on surfing with swords and putting in that work as horse a archer. We hear from The Lord of Cream on everything Metal Gear Solid, discuss our thoughts on the ROG Xbox Ally, and discuss what titles from Gamescom caught our eye the most.

This week on TSG, our legendary trio of co-hosts take a dive into a cool and refreshing pool of nostalgia bait. What gaming memories remind you most of summers as a kid? It's an easy breezy topic for the waning days of summer that includes some stellar write-ins from the audience and some unexpected warm memories.

The full crew has returned! Restoring TSG to it's former glory, Taylor rejoins the crew to chat about the pains of moving, strategies on clearing the ole' backlog, and when to know it's time to quit a game that you just aren't vibing with. Other topics include Alien: Isolation, Battlefield 6 Beta, Mafia: The Old Country, and the disappointment of DOOM: The Dark Ages. Enjoy!

We're missing one of the great Duke's of the TSG Fiefdom today with Taylor being out of commission while moving. So Ian and Kyle decided to look down the release scheduled road of 2025 and discuss what tickles their fancy the most. What game releases are you still pumped for later this year?

This week Ian, Taylor, and Kyle savor a discussion over their personal top ten games of all time.. The guys also

take in some great write-ins from the audience. It's really just a good time.

A lot has changed in gaming since TSG was last lying down these velvety smooth podcast experiences. So today, we're jumping feet first into the mud with Xbox's brutal fall from grace after thousands more were laid off and multiple big time projects were shuttered. We also look ahead to what will hopefully be Playstation's next big hit with Ghost of Yotei. And of course, we touch on what we've been playing including games like Oblivion Remastered, Avowed, AC: Shadows, Halo 5, and Spider-Man 2.
