This guy is going to do what is called a "Pro-Gamer Move":


I am impressed. He pulls off some combo's using Batman's aresenal in a way I never considered, but definitely within the lore of how Batman would knock a bunch of fools out. The sequence where he flips and deals the final blow on all the goons seeing stars on the ground was definitely cheesy in a gamey way, but the rest of the stuff was pretty neat.
 


The Game Chasers are back once again as they hit up a flea market looking for retro games to buy. Along the way they discover that no one wants to make a deal, leaving them to look foolish as they "insult" someone with a fair offer. Then as luck would have it, Billy runs into something you never see in the wild these days, a vintage computer called the Apple II....for what might be a sweet deal.
 


Episode 389 - Sometimes a game franchise will just kind of fizzle out only to get reintroduced tot he gaming audience, often being reinvented in the process. This doesn't always work out well, but other times it proves to be way more successful than the series was originally.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! It seems that all kids want these days for the Holidays are Robux and Minecraft Coins! Xbox 360 sure misses the nostalgia of Gamers opening that new video game disc that was wrapped and waiting for them under the Christmas Tree! Don't you?! With everything going digital these days, you start to feel bad for all of Santa's Elves who got laid off with nothing to make! Is that just to be expected with the advance of technology, or is Microsoft simply turning into a big ol' Grinch?! Enjoy another episode of Xbox Girl from the Reckless Crew!

A final rundown of Tom Morgan's top five games from 2023 - a year that brought us the return of four iconic series in Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6. But does any of these make the number one spot?



PlayStation or Xbox....who had the better year in gaming?! Playstation made some moves with PS VR2, but it got slaughtered at The Game Awards 2023. Spiderman 2 did NOT win Game of the Year, losing to BG3! Also, PlayStation Portal was released to.....a bit of confusion. Meanwhile, Xbox finally closed their deal with Activision, had a nice showing at the Game Awards, and is looking forward to a future of Microsoft running the world! Things get dark in this latest episode of PlayStation Girl. Happy New Year from Reckless Comedy!
