Changing The Game – Talking to My Boy About Videogames 17
Do you want more of the same or things to be vastly different? It’s the question central to today’s episode of Talking to My Boy About Videogames where Jonathan and Ryan look at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Blippo+, two games set on alien worlds that introduce the audience to their setting through exploration and perception. Elsewhere in the episode, Ryan gives us his monthly Minecraft Report and there’s a little bit of talk about Nobi Nobi Boy, plus evil doppelgangers seem to be everywhere you look. Boys will become men on this thrilling episode!
