GameHounds 811: Whose Big Idea Was This? 03/08/2026

GameHounds 811: Whose Big Idea Was This? XBox chiefs announce a new console at employee town hall, which took all of 30 seconds to be leaked. What's the news? The next XBox will play PC games as well. Soooo... a Steam Machine. So, does anyone think this was Asha's idea? Or even Sad Nutella's? C'moooonnnn....

GameHounds 810: Big Trouble in Little XBox 02/23/2026

GameHounds 810: Big Trouble in Little XBox Phil's out. Asha's in. Sarah's fled the building. Man, we knew there would be heads rolling at Microsoft, but we didn't see that one coming (and apparently, Sarah Bond didn't either). We talk about what this might mean for XBox Gaming and how having an AI exec calling the shots on the future of XBox games might affect what we'll see from Microsoft in the coming years. Also, reviews of Slay the Spire (mobile) and Mewgenics. Join our Discord: discord.gg/s6ymDZ8gBn /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/40194545

GameHounds 809: Our Take on the State of Play 02/15/2026

GameHounds 809: Our Take on the State of Play Nick watched Sony's State of Play (Edie didn't yet), so we go over the reveals: God of War! Alan Wake! Bunch of other stuff! Also, pro tip: don't send Claire Obscura artbooks to Iraq or you'll get a visit from the antiquities police! Special guest: Andrew "Creation Chaos" Smith!

GameHounds 808: It Took THIS Many Minutes for Roblox to Exploit GenAI 02/08/2026

GameHounds 808: It Took THIS Many Minutes for Roblox to Exploit GenAI It's Super Bowl Sunday, and while everyone else is glued to the pre-game festivities, Edie and Nick (joined by special guest Andrew "CreationChaos" Smith) are here to discuss what's really important: Roblox's new GenAI tool that BLATANTLY rips off Clair Obscura 33. Wow, that did NOT take as long as we thought it would. Also, BaRB says it didn't make a broken game; MindsEye was sabotaged... sabotaged I tell ya! New Horizon Dawn game gets debuted, and new consoles coming to Switch Online. We also review tabletop game Moonrollers, Iron Lung (the movie, not the game), Simulacura, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/40052255

GameHounds 807: Xbox is Strugglin' Strugglin' Strugglin' 01/31/2026

GameHounds 807: Xbox is Strugglin' Strugglin' Strugglin' Stuff is looking bad at the green monster. Hardware sales down. Software sales down. Unrealistic revenue goals not only missed, they weren't even in the ballpark of profitable. Edie has a frightening prediction no one hopes come true. She and Nick review Iron Lung (the game... the movie is next week), as well as covering news, including how Jeffrey Epstein got banned from XBox live, and Edie's surprising realtion to the revelation that there's FNAF "corn." /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/40013695

GameHounds 806: Xbox Developer Direct and Ubisoft Implodes 01/24/2026

GameHounds 806: Xbox Developer Direct and Ubisoft Implodes Edie and Nick finally agree! Using AI for NPCs is just a bad idea. Doesn't mean anyone is listening, including XBox. We discuss the Developer Direct reveal of Fable and how having a "massive world" populated by 100% interactable NPCs is just... too much! We also discuss the restructuring of Ubisoft, which only promises to mean studio sell-offs and closures, and we review "Mandgragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree." /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/40012880

GameHounds 805: The Final Death of GameStop? 01/11/2026

GameHounds 805: The Final Death of GameStop? This could finally be it. This death rivals some of the most overplayed, overly dramatic, drawn out deaths in cinema. Finally, it seems, GameStop won't be pulled back from the brink by Reddit stock-shorting groups; it may have finally drawn its last breath and gone to sing with the choir invisible. Oh... but don't worry. The Crypto Bro who took over as CEO is getting $35 million as an exit bonus. Also, XBox Developers Direct is coming next week.

GameHounds 800: The Almost Reunion Show 11/23/2025

GameHounds 800: The Almost Reunion Show Wow. Eight hundred episodes. When Hawkes and Edie sat down in front of a mic 17 years ago, did they even fathom that the show would still be around for 800 episodes? Nope. We don't have a complete reunion, but close. Past and present GameHounds hosts, including Holy Goalie, Mr. Maynard, and Creation Chaos join us. Commander Tim had a family emergency and couldn't make it.

Call of Duty getting the movie treatment (and Spielberg is NOT directing it, either), Fireaxis cans employees after releasing the most-successful Civ game to date, former Bethesda boss doesn't have nice things to say about Game Pass, and Activision backs off of Carry Forward feature after mass backlash. /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/38123285

GameHounds PAX 2025: G'aim'e Lightgun Now we switch to hardware! Nick talks with Tom Morgan, Senior Developer for G’AIM’E, about their new lightgun for use with shooters, in this case demoed on Timecrisis, that allows you to very accurately target and hit using concoles and modern TVs. It's complicated and technical, but Nick says it's works really surprisingly well. /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/38079200

GameHounds PAX 2025: Aether & Iron 09/03/2025

GameHounds PAX 2025: Aether & Iron On this final day of PAX 2025, Nick chats with Tylor Whitney, narrative lead on Aether and Iron, a narrative-based RPG with turn-based tactics set in a gritty noir style. /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/38079150

GameHounds PAX 2025: Fresh Tracks and Birdseed 09/02/2025

GameHounds SIX 2025: Desolus No, it's not PAX... It's SIX... as in Seattle Indie Expo, a completely separate event running concurrently with PAX. Nick and Edie spent the day seeing what Seattle's Indie scene has to offer, and we found Desolus, a gorgeous walking sim/puzzle game where you solve architectural puzzles in a world where reality has split, moving between the two in order to repair broken paths and get where you want to go. It gives all the feels of Myst and is a decade-long passion project of Mark Mayers, one of the developers of Outer Wilds and Manifold Garden. /episode/index/show/gamehounds/id/38051745
