“Dave Jackson and his many excellent guests are a joy to listen to. For me, this is the right level of detail to talk about games at. He’s covered tons of games, both big and small, and I’m a big fan of some of the more obscure titles.”

“Dave hosts a fantastic podcast. The in depth deep dives into every game he covers is fascinating and always well worth a listen. And the spoiler wall policy allows people who have never experienced the game before, learn all about it without the story getting spoiled.”

“New listener here! I listened to two episodes: Chained Echoes and The Forbidden City. Great format and set up with a host and a guest discussing the game, the host does a good job in pushing the conversation along and redirecting if necessary. It could be the two episodes I picked, but I like...”Read full review »

“Stumbled across the pod via the Spiritfarer ep and teared up a handful of times in the listen, which I believe is gaming pod listening first for me. A large chunk of the credit for those tears no doubt goes to the game itself, which is Niagra Falls Frankie angel throughout if you haven’t partook,...”Read full review »

“I absolutely loved Spec Ops! Possibly the only game to ever really mess with my mind! Such a under rated game it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves!!! Great listen!”

“There’s no fear on whether or not you’re going to be spoiled on a game that is covered on this show. A deep dive into each game where no stone is unturned with a handy spoiler section mentioned and time stamped for you. This is a great way to learn if a game is for you or not. Highly recommend.”

“Dave and his guests give a fantastic entertaining synopsis of popular games. Clearly drawn spoiler breaks, allow you to stop if you plan of checking them out.
The honest care he puts in describing the game as well as it’s shortcomings makes this an easy listen.”
