   Episode 13: One More Run - Balatro vs Vampire Survivors

   This month on the Best Game of All Time we are doing something a little different. Not quite a mobile game, not quite a console game, Balatro and Vampire Survivors took the world by storm as two games you just can't put down. With no other games like it on "THE LIST" at this time, The Boss Monster Noah Waterman and his guests dissect these two deceptively simple yet spiritually complex games and see how they hold up to some of gaming's all time classics. 🔔 Don't forget to follow to never miss another episode of The Best Game of All Time 🔔 Listen to "The Best Game of All Time" podcast on any of your favorite podcast apps: https://linktr.ee/BossMonsterKaiju -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our panel and give them a follow!

   Episode 12: Failed Gaming Mascots: Little Samson, Tinhead & Glover

   Back with an all new episode and this month we are talking about failed mascots! The gaming industry is littered with all sorts of "what-could-have-been's" and "never-was", whether its the criminally underrated Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or the pushed-down-our-throat attitude of Bubsy the Bobcat, the success of Mario and Sonic in the 90s meant every company needed a figure head, so we took three forgotten one-hit wonders and took a deep dive into why they didnt work and whether they ever had potential in the first place: Taito's Little Samson for the NES, Microprose's Tinhead for the Sega Genesis, and Hasbro's Glover for the Nintendo 64. Join us as we continue our quest to find the champion of forgotten figures. Will any of these titles rise in the ranks of heroes? Will any be officially ranked as THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME?!?!
