With Resident Evil Requiem releasing not too long ago, this month we're focusing on the Resident Evil franchise - again! As old fans may recall we had a Resident Evil podcast waaaay back for episode 7 where we covered the entire series along with our memories & experiences. For this episode, we all played some Resident Evil games and talk about our recent experiences with those games. And what a variety of games we have! Of course we have Requiem to talk about, but we also have RE1, RE4, RE8, and RE Revelations. That's a lot of Resident Evil!

But wait, this episode is called Resident Evil Two but we're not talking about Resident Evil 2? Yeah that's the deal - 2nd RE episode for us but no one played that specific game this month. To hear our thoughts on that (and the rest of the games in the franchise) go check out episode 7. Be warned, the audio quality back then was as scary as the games! Anyway, grab your first aid spray, your grenade launcher, and your headphones - and join us for this episode all about Resident Evil - again!

It's March Madness again and that means we've got another one of our annual tournament episodes. But wait, it's already April you say? Yeah well this one took a little longer to cook up - but it's worth it! We've got nearly 3 hours of discussion to decide the best game ever made!

The 64 games selected are pitted against each other at random so we've got some spicy match ups right out of the gate. We've got some new games, some old games, some great games, and some crap games. Not sure why all the other guys chose crap games, but hey it's their decision.

If you want to play along and follow the bracket - head to Instagram @beatofthemonth where we've got the bracket posted!

Here at the Beat of the Month podcast we value the finer things in gaming, and nothing can elevate a game more than a great soundtrack. We've taken a look at game music before with a mini tournament for the best game song of all time, but this time around we take a more laid back approach and just play some games with music that we love. As we talk about the games we bring up a song here and there and talk about why we like it so much. We also talk a bit about what makes a song stand out in a game.

Oh yeah - the games! We talk about a bunch of stuff from indie games Gris and Journey, retro stuff Um Jammer Lammy and Parappa the Rapper 2, modern stuff like Lumines Arise and Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta, and then...Eyetoy stuff? That peripheral from the PS2 era? Yeah we fit that in too.

So grab your headphones, and your headph...oh yeah I guess you listen to music and podcasts with the same equipment. Well anyway, just sit back with whatever listening device you've got and join us for this looks at games with great music!
