Ep 248Arcade Attack’s Arcade Archive - Vol. 1

Try saying that after a few Martinis! Keith's come up with an amazing way for us to actually talk about arcade games (in your face, people who said our name was wrong!) The boys choose one each, give a little bit of background and explain why you should/shouldn't play their game. A lorry game that's more fun than it should be, another based on an ill-fated cartoon, a game Adrian mentions more than occasionally and the weirdest beat 'em up ever conceived (probably) take centre stage.

Ep 227BioShock

Ken Levine's mammoth FPS BioShock took us to the darkest depths of eerie Rapture in what is one of the greatest games ever made, we all concur! So what makes it special? Adrian's here with stories of the game's development, gameplay and lots of spoilers as we discuss the game's amazing decision-driven (to an extent) plot. But is it better than Bio Dome? Better listen to find out! Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of conversation? Please tweet us @arcadeattackUK and catch us on Facebook or Instagram.
