Description
Welcome to Stealth Boom Boom! Every fortnight, Colm Ahern, Josh Wise, and Adam Carroll will go in-depth on one stealth video game from the past, discussing every aspect of it, from the game's marketing and press coverage around its release, to how it plays today, But... what is stealth video game? Sure, we could just point at a Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell box and grunt, but that wouldn't make for good audio. Plus, there's a little more to it than that. This podcast is called Stealth Boom Boom, not Stealth Stealth Stealth, so action games with stealth elements are definitely up for debate. Probably not Horizon Zero Dawn, though. Far Cry might make the cut if Colm can convince Adam and Josh. This episode is 35 minutes of us trying to figure out if we can come up with a definition better than something involving a hungry cat. Ultimately, we're probably gonna figure it out as we go along. You're more than welcome to figure it out with us, if you'd like. Also, you get a little introduction as to who exactly we are and why we like stealth games. And that's nice, isn't it? So, subscribe to Stealth Boom Boom now and listen to us chat about some classic stealth games (and some rubbish ones, as well). For those that would like to play along at home, we'll be reviewing Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.
