Gamescom Highlights

Gamescom has been massive this year, People of Perth and Beyond, so it's only right that John and Johnny from your very own Perth Gaming Crew share their biggest highlights. Megaman: Dual Override is looking sleek as. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis continues to impress. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt got a surprise remaster announcement, and it's FREE! The Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Remake is another dream come true. Snoop Dogg continues his entertainment crossover streak with Hitman The Herbalist. Perhaps best of all Microsoft does what Sony don't and announces a tasty digital-to-disk program. We also give the recent Netflix Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer and extended gameplay a shoutout, but the real king of November also returned with a new trailer for Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered.

Metroid: Zero Mission Retrospective

Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was a groundbreaking game for it's time and helped defined the metroidvania genre in gaming.

Widely considered to be a superb remake of the original Metroid, the crew discuss some fun facts about the game's development, their favourite improvements over the NES original, boss fights, power ups, weapons, and even throw in their two cents about the latest Metroid Ravenous leaks speculation.
