While he didn't spend this week relaxing in an open world game, David Radd did play more of the extensive content of Injustice: Gods Among Us and wondered why enemies had so much health in The Adventures of Batman and Robin for the Genesis. Tuesday tried desperately to get their Rogue-lite fix in Conan Chop Chop and continued venturing into a demon infested Tokyo in Shin Megami Tensei V. With the war in Ukraine, the This War of Mine developer donates profits to the Ukrainian Red Cross, Electronic Arts removes Russian teams from FIFA 22 and NHL 22, the Ukrainian government calls on Xbox and PlayStation to end Russian support while Apple, Google, and Meta have already moved to do so, and development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl is put on hold as developer GSC Game World fight to survive. In the Nintendo block of news, they acquire longtime partner SRD, make sure Smash Bros. won't officially be at EVO and rolls out missions for custom icons with Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Elden Ring meanwhile is seeing high sales, high player counts and high review scores, and Valve wants to bring PC Game Pass to Steam Deck and Aperture Desk Job launches for free. For this week's topic, David and Tuesday try out the Babylon's Fall demo, only to be baffled by the PS3 era brown textures, the terrible motion comic cut-scenes, and rotten service-game options.
