SHOWNOTES: Take that! In Part 2 of our episode on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Beau and Ash conclude our discussion of the duology as we analyze The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve! Unlike most Ace Attorney entries which tell mostly standalone stories, these two titles are halves of a plot following Phoenix Wright's Victorian/Meiji ancestor Ryunosuke Naruhodo. But how well does this follow up to its predecessor and tie up all loose ends for Ryunosuke and friends? Find out on the finale of Collateral Gaming's Logic and Reasoning Spectacular on the Great Ace Attorney games!

With series creator Shu Takumi at the helm once again, how does this title compare against the mainline games and what improvements does it add to the formula?

Title: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Developer: Atari, Inc.
Publisher: Atari, Inc.
Designer: Howard Scott Warshaw
Platform: Atari 2600
Release: December 1982
PROMO: Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: It's finally time. Collateral Gaming is reviewing perhaps the most well-known video game cited as the worst of all time: 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on the Atari 2600! But is it really deserving of that moniker? We analyze the title's infamous five-week development time; discuss the bankruptcy of Atari and subsequent video game crash of the 80s as a result of the game's commercial failure (considered one of the biggest in video game history); look back at the now-confirmed true urban legend regarding unsold cartridges secretly buried in a New Mexico landfill; and of course, talk about Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie, which was essentially an extended AVGN review of E.T. If you enjoy this episode, let us know, and stay tuned for our two-part review on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles very soon!

SHOWNOTES: On our first bad game review of the season, Collateral Gaming is exposing ourselves to the 1993 adult rom-com visual novel/dating sim, considered one of the worst video games of all time—Plumbers Don't Wear Ties! Made infamous by The Angry Video Game Nerd and just recently remastered for modern consoles by Limited Run Games, this obscure 3DO title hardly qualifies as a video game, and yet Ash and Beau find it uniquely endearing. So, come with us, and find out why plumbers never wear ties! And stay tuned for our next bad game review on E.T. the 1982 Atari game...
