Episode 74 - PlayStation Showcase May 2023

After a nearly two-year wait, PlayStation Showcase is finally back to share what’s next for first-party, third-party, and indie games on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2. We discuss the highlights and lowlights of the presentation, including Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Sony's strange Project Q.

We'll also be talking about how Mortal Kombat 12 is really Mortal Kombat 1, the surprise Nintendo 3DS update that breaks several hacking tools, and how McDonald’s in China has an exclusive Tetris handheld in the shape of a McNugget.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're sharing our top 5 games of all time.
