SPECIAL GUEST: The Vern, Cinema Recall (@cinema_recall)
SHOWNOTES: The Vern from Cinema Recall joins Collateral Cinema and Collateral Gaming on our journey in Silent Hill! Many of our listeners may remember the 2006 film adaptation of the perennial survival horror game series from director Christophe Gans, but how faithfully does it represent the atmospheric, psychological brand of horror its source material is known for, and how does it hold up as a supernatural horror flick on its own? Get our thoughts on our latest Collaboration Special, and stay tuned for a look at the Silent Hill franchise on the next Collateral Gaming: Bonus Round! Collateral Cinema will be joining to talk about the original PS1 title along with Homecoming.

SPECIAL GUEST: Beau Maddox, Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: Happy four years of recording, editing, publishing, and marketing the ONLY video game podcast that matters! For the Collateral Gaming Season Five Anniversary Special, we're returning to something we did back for our very first Anniversary Special—Beau from Collateral Cinema and Ash headed out to a local arcade for a retro mega-review! In Season Two, we covered every light gun shooter that Diversions Game Room had to offer, so we figured it would be appropriate this time to check out all of the fighting games! In addition, prepping for this podcast episode included playing a variety of arcade ports and MAME ROMs on Beau's modded PlayStation Classic, as well as finally putting together a Street Fighter II cabinet Ash got for Christmas years ago. From Darkstalkers to Ehrgeiz to The King of Fighters, we cover a whole slew of arcade fighters on this special episode! If you enjoy it, let us know with a review on your platform of choice, and stay tuned for our thoughts on It Takes Two, the Silent Hill franchise, and the launch of Fire Emblem Engage this month!

SHOWNOTES: Happy #ZeldaMonth from Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast! That's right, folks; that's gonna be an annual tradition with us in December, and this season, Dan Rockwood from Victims and Villains is joining us as we merge into the worlds of the 2013 3DS entry A Link Between Worlds! A spiritual successor to the 1991 SNES classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, this adventure is simultaneously a nostalgia trip and a distinctive Zelda title in its own right, as well as an underrated gem. In Part 1, Zach, Ash, Megan, and Dan dive into gameplay, from the open-ended dungeon structure, to the wall-merging gimmick, to the item rental system. Stay tuned for Part 2 of our Link Between Worlds episode later this month, where we'll explore the story, characters, soundtrack, and overall presentation!

SHOWNOTES: Ragnarök is finally upon us, and holy shit, have we been stoked to continue the adventures of Kratos and Atreus in the Nine Realms! In Part 1, Ash and Megan visit the highly anticipated newest entry in the God of War series, and as a Game Launch review, we'll be doing so without diving into spoiler territory. Does it live up to the hype? Does it improve upon its predecessor (which we covered back in Season 2)? Is it worthy of the title Game of the Year it has been nominated for? We're here to discuss that, and we'll be going into more detail on God of War Ragnarök with full spoilers in Part 2, which will serve as our Holiday Special! Stay tuned for that in December, as well as the start of our Zelda Month, as Collateral Gaming checks out A Link Between Worlds!
