This week I take a closer look at the worldbuilding in Horizon Zero Dawn (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2561580/Horizon_Zero_Dawn_Remastered/), which is one of my favorite aspects of the game, as well as play Darksiders (https://store.steampowered.com/app/462780/Darksiders_Warmastered_Edition/) for the first time, which is a fun game inspired by some older classics. This week I'm also recommending the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20600980), which is a fun show kind of in the same vein as the movie E.T. As always I'd like to get your thoughts on these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and we can have a conversation!

This week we're talking about crafting and the economy in Horizon Zero Dawn (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2561580/Horizon_Zero_Dawn_Remastered/), and how extensive that system is. Also, I tried The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (https://store.steampowered.com/app/65930/The_Bureau_XCOM_Declassified/) for the first time, and found it to be both a familiar and new take on the XCOM series as it tells the origin story of the XCOM program! Last but not least, I'm recommending the David movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15678738) this week, which I invested in and enjoyed quite a bit! As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of the things I talked about this week, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and we'll have a conversation!

Welcome to year two of Game Club! Let's call this Season 2 of the show, as there's a bit of change from last year. The big focus for January is Horizon Zero Dawn (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2561580/Horizon_Zero_Dawn_Remastered/), and in this episode I'm talking about the tutorials in it. Also this week is Vanquish (https://store.steampowered.com/app/460810/Vanquish/), which is a stylish third person shooter from Platinum Games. A solid start to the new year! Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the audio book for Halo: Edge of Dawn (https://www.amazon.com/Halo-Edge-Master-Chief-Story/dp/B0DYWTW4KL), specifically for the voicework from Steve Downes (Master Chief) and Jen Taylor (Cortana/The Weapon)! As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of the things I talk about today. Hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod) and we'll have a conversation!
