The Podcast - Ep 27 - Pricing remasters of retro games, even ones that are a bit squiff
Description
Tom and Chris talk mostly about BlizzCon and the Nintendo Direct this week, have a heated discussion about the way remasters of retro games are priced (hint - neither of them like it!), and get really excited about the new Mortal Kombat film. Plus Scott returns with some talk around kickstarters in the world of tabletop, and Gareth has an odd trailer that makes him really angry!
