Playing Catch-up34: Moonwalking NPCs / SOS: The Final Escape & Assassin’s Creed 3In which we unleash an episode recorded well before we all got told to stay in and play games for the foreseeable future. That was the gist of the latest guidelines, right? Two flawed games give plenty to talk about but also plenty to enjoy. It’s almost as if we’re gluttons for punishment. Tom especially so, which Paul delights in pointing out.

Playing Catch-up33: Any particular reason? / Undertale & Syphon FilterIn which Paul gets to grips with a deeply flawed game from two decades ago which Tom remembered being much better than it was. Meanwhile, Tom gets to sample one of the most lauded games in recent memory. It almost doesn’t seem fair. Be sure to stick around to the end for perhaps the most eloquent ever description of the flaws in a boss battle.

There’s also Wii Ware weirdness, trilogy-ending twists, Ridge Racer reprises and H2O-based happenings. Oh, and we open on the Playdate, which was fresh news when we recorded this 12 years ago.

Playing Catch-up29: Not fun and not interesting / Chibi Robo! Zip Lash, The Division, Destiny 2, Resistance, Burly Men at SeaIn which Paul gets rightly annoyed at the lack of Yorkshire accents in PS3 launch games and Tom plays a couple of multiplayer-focused online shooters.

Playing Catch-up28: Did you oversleeeeep? / Dead Space & Final Fantasy Type-0 HDIn which your hosts suffer two of the worst fates known to man: being trapped on a spaceship with homicidal aliens, and being trapped playing a game with atrocious voice acting. Paul takes on Dead Space and finds a game that holds up superbly more than 10 years on, while Tom really quite enjoys Final Fantasy Type-0 HD despite some utterly bewildering design decisions. Then they pick a couple of games for next time that, it’s fair to say, provoke differing levels of enthusiasm. Get in touch with the show via Twitter (@catchuppod) or...2019-03-061h 58

Playing Catch-up27: Chips you plug into your testicles / Graham Goring interviewIn which indie developer Graham Goring discusses making the leap from writing for huge licensed games in the LEGO universe for TT Fusion to the relative uncertainty that comes with working on his own dream project: Phantom Island. Please note, because Tom is lazy and good-for-nothing, this is an interview from late 2018 that has only just been edited. And this was the second attempt at recording it, too. Sorry Graham.

Playing Catch-up26: Always the shotgun / DOOM (2016) & Yoku’s Island ExpressIn which two very similar games are discussed and dissected. After hearing an extensive list of things Tom doesn’t like about DOOM, learn why Paul feels that, for all its exciting gunplay, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as punching a demon in the face. Next up, after a very brief and exceedingly polite disagreement over whether the Yoku’s Island Express soundtrack is catchy or not catchy (#TeamCatchy), your hosts bemoan having to play yet another platformer / pinball hybrid with a dung beetle protagonist.

Playing Catch-up25: Lofty expectations / Dropmix, Pneuma: Breath of Life, Resident Evil, Samus Returns, The Playroom VR & 140In which your hosts continue last week’s conversation about the games they’ve played through in recent weeks. You’ll hear how Harmonix fared with their foray into tabletop gaming, why taking ‘What Should I Play Next?’ advice from a stranger on the internet isn’t always advisable, how two old remakes of two even older games manage to retain the magic decades after the fact, why a free game continues to be PSVR’s true killer app, and why 140 is something of an overlooked gem (again). Games discussed: Dropmix Pneuma: Breath of Life Re...2019-02-051h 04

Playing Catch-up24: Toady and Roadie / Day of the Tentacle, Headlander, The Final Station & Million Onion HotelIn which your hosts belatedly kick off 2019 in the only way they know how: discussing old games everybody else played many moons ago. You’ll be served a Double Fine double header before it’s all aboard for a trip more grim than a book of fairy tales. And before you reach your final destination, find out why there ain’t no onion time like the present to check out some mobile game that’s a bit like bingo meets whack-a-mole.

Playing Catch-up23: Simon Joslin of The Voxel Agents / The Gardens BetweenIn which the co-founder of indie developer The Voxel Agents talks to Tom about what went into the making of their unique puzzle adventure The Gardens Between. From revealing that the initial idea for what became The Gardens Between stemmed from a Tom Cruise film to tales of discovering the wonders of Twitch streaming with his parents, Simon offers plenty of interesting insights into the process of making a critically acclaimed game.

Playing Catch-up22: Wubadubadub is that true? / Persona 4, Virtue’s Last Reward, Rhythm Paradise MegamixIn which your hosts continue to talk over the games they played during the show’s downtime.

Playing Catch-up21: Catching up / Sonic Mania, 140 & Kero BlasterIn which your hosts rise, Phoenix-like, to resume the very important business of talking about videogames.

Playing Catch-up20: The games of Christmas past / Sonic 2 & ShenmueIn which your hosts discuss a couple of games from yesteryear that brought both post-Christmas joy and frustration — featuring only one mention of sailors and, thanks to rare restraint, absolutely no talk of getting sweaty.

Playing Catch-up16: The full keys experience / Virginia & VVVVVVIn which two very different games are united by equally memorable soundtracks as Variable State’s debut Virginia and Terry Cavanagh’s VVVVVV come under the spotlight.

Playing Catch-up15: PlayStation VR special – Part 1In which Tom and Paul, giddy with excitement from the PSVR launch, recount tales of shifting violently from VR indifference to steadfast support following game-changing debut experiences. Having both picked up the PlayStation VR headset on launch, they compare notes on the hardware itself and how it compares to PC-based virtual reality headsets before mulling over a couple of leading lights from the launch line-up: Thumper and Tumble VR. Oh, and why smashing into things with your head is probably the future of gaming. http://playingcatchup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/PlayingCatchupShorts004.mp3 2016-10-271h 00

Playing Catch-up12: Playing Catch-up Shorts – Broken Age coda & Earth Defense Force 4.1In which your hosts start putting out some bite-size morsels in-between the main episodes to try and maintain some semblance of consistency. Having spoken about his experience playing through Broken Age in last week’s episode, a presumably sleep deprived Paul reports back having consumed 20 episodes of the accompanying documentary series in a week. Meanwhile, Tom takes on giant ants and spiders in EDF 4.1, a game which confidently straddles the thin line between breathtaking and preposterous. http://playingcatchup.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/PlayingCatchupShorts001.mp3 Intro / outro music by 5of6 Artwork by @BigShimmeryWall...2016-10-0628 min

Playing Catch-up11: They all stink of fish / Broken Age & Gravity RushIn which our heroes point and click and jump and kick; pay tribute to Schafer, make Hekseville safer.
