The New GameOn Podcast - Episode 18: FREE TALK 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
Air Date: October 7th, 2020

Truth be told, I haven't played much games over the past week. Even though Doom Eternal came to Game Pass last week, I just haven't had time to play it.

I did catch The series finale of The 100 last week, which pissed me off, but we'll get to that.

Right now, its one of our Free Talk podcasts.... I'm taking questions and comments that came my way over the last week and giving you my thoughts on them!

The New GameOn Podcast - Episode 16: Welcome to Season 2!
Air Date: September 23rd, 2020

We’re back from the woods and ready to talk about our summer gaming shenanigans.

Lets start by talking about Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Both great games from the Mario series that deserve some time to talk about.

Next up is a surprisingly good game, Nexomon: Extinction. I’m surprised this Pokemon like game is so good and have plenty to talk about it. Just don’t expect me to remember any of the nearly 400 monster names in this one.

And last but not least, lets talk about RPG Maker MV for the Switch, a new addition to the collection that’s reignited the writing bug in me!

In this week’s episode, Jeff Johnson has an idea that he’d like to run by you.

Last episode, we talked about the varieties of Minecraft games, but now Jeff would like to propose a Minecraft RPG, where we mix the elements of Minecraft with RPG Maker.

Just call it a license to print money.

Jeff also talks about a few new games this week, including Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 and Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition.

In this week’s episode, we dive into a handful of games in the Pile of Shame.  

Jeff Johnson talks about Night Call, a murder mystery where you play as a cab driver trying to piece together who is the murderer at large in Paris, France.  

We also talk about The Messenger, a game that claims to be inspired by the Ninja Gaiden series, but ends up playing more like a cross between the Illusion of Gaia and Mega Man X.  

And finally, we talk about Minecraft, everyone’s favorite time destroyer.  

Seriously, I built a castle. It looks great.

This week, we’re in a bit of a conundrum with The New GameOn Podcast.  

It’s a bit of a lull week, so there isn’t much in a way of new games that we’ve played to talk about.  

Just to give you an idea of some of the games we played last week, the biggest titles we gave a go were Awesome Pea 2, which we’ve already talked about on the show, and Zuma’s Revenge, a game that was released quite some time ago for the Xbox 360.  

The reason for this is because I’m in between main games. After spending over 200 hours beating Digimon Story Cybersleuth, I’m at a loss as to which game in the collection to play next.  

So today, I’m going over a couple of short lists. We’re talking about my List of Favorite Time Killing Games and my short list of Big Titles I Want to Play Next.

This week is PART FOUR of our discussion on The Top 100 Games I’ve Ever Played List

This is it, the finale of this discussion feature, covering my Top 20 games on the list.

We’re only doing twenty games this episode to give the time needed to discuss all of those games.

You can view the full list on our blog, JJ Plays Everything, or you can visit Jeff’s GG app profile and find the Top 100 list there - https://ggapp.io/GameOnJJ/lists/top-100-games-Gjsjurqu

Some quick notes about the list…

  1. Games Jeff hasn’t played are not on the list.

  2. This list is ever changing and if a great game comes across Jeff’s desk in the future, it will be added. A few honourable mentions were also recently added.

  3. Replayability is a big factor in this list. Would you play a game again and have you played a game multiple times factor into play.
