In this episode Tom and Phil revisit This War of Mine, as they’ve recently announced a re-release for modern consoles as well as a fundraising activity for Ukrainians. We also talk about what we’ve been playing the latest gaming news and a new gaming magazine released in Australia.

We talk about the Tomb raider and Max Payne reboots before Tom goes on to review COVID (finally!), and Phil weighs in on what could be the first work simulator, Wall Street Kid and it’s uncanny resemblance to Papers, Please. Tom also reviews the controversial game, Detention before Phil covers more urbane games like the Paw Patrol offerings.
Finally we cover Sky and the meaning behind it, as well as Gran Turismo 7. It’s a content packed show, so buckle up.
A bonus episode to get us through Easter, a retrospective of the Grand Theft Auto franchise through GTA5.

Tom gives his first impressions of Gran Turismo 7 before we both talk about A Short Hike (new mod just dropped), Metamorphosis, Asphalt Legends 9 and more. I also talk about my adventures with Hakchi, the easiest way to play legal backups of NES and SNES games that you own.
Thanks for listening - Phil Fogg
A scene from The Good Life
Tom and Phil give first impressions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Paper Mario The Origami King, and the Nintendo Switch.
Tom also reviews the The Good Life, the latest game from Deadly Premonition director SWERY65.
We may make time for some Trademark Banter as well.
Tom reviews the third entry in Croteams’ classic FPS series. NoClip’s, Danny O’Dwyer recently put together a history of the series which includes a great interview with the composer for the series, which I’ve embedded after Tom’s Review

Since Phil is on assignment, Tom and Red recorded a short episode analyzing a tentacular genre of Japanese film. There are some slight technical difficulties that are corrected in future episodes of Slime Under Podcast.

Tom Towers reviews A Juggler’s Tale, another in a long line of cinematic platformers by indie devs, but perhaps (?) the first written in rhyme. Tom’s review, regrettably, is not written in rhyme.
Nevertheless, you can check it out here.
Made by the Melburnian delevoper duo Melting Parrot, Dap is an aesthetic marvel; steeped (perhaps inadvertently) in the atmosphere of Melbourne’s waterways, as glimpsed through a looking-glass. As rich in narrative and gameplay as it is in aesthetic and setting, Dap is well worth checking out.
