  • [PREVIEW] Skydive - Ep. 4: F.E.A.R.
    Nov 10 2025

    This month, the Skydive team discuss F.E.A.R. - First Encounter Assault Recon, the 2005 horror FPS masterpiece from Monolith Productions!

    Join Kris, Brian, Lucas and Will as they discuss who the villain truly is, in this Japanese-horror-inspired, Western-developed anomaly. Revisiting it, we elevate several weapons to the "all-time" pantheon, discuss the power of the first game and Extraction Point, the missteps made by the sequels, and ponder what the modern games industry would be like if F.E.A.R. 2 had been a hit.

  • [PREVIEW] Skydive - Ep. 3: Bastion
    Oct 24 2025

    This month, the Skydive team discuss Bastion, the 2011 action RPG debut from Supergiant Games!

    Join Kris, Brian, Lucas and Will as they piece together a broken world in order to build the device that can save it -- or if it should be saved at all. There's many a discussion about how the concept of a narrator not only is the cornerstone of the game, but also the means by which it intentionally obscures the core of its narrative depth.

  • Skydive - Ep. 2: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time
    Sep 17 2025

    Turtles In Time is, for many, the pinnacle of the beat-em-up genre, so it's fitting that a group of beat-em-up enjoyers like us would get to it sooner or later.

    Join Brian, Lucas, Will, and Kris as they dive into what makes the TMNT: Turtles In Time special, the differences between the different ports, and which they think holds up best, considering the many beat-em-ups that have been released since it first hit arcades the world over.
