    Ashley returns this week to talk about Darktide, a horde shooter based in the grimdark future of Warhammer 40k and with an appropriately heavy soundtrack of industrial beats to keep the action moving and prevent too much heresy (idk any other 40k references, sorry)

    Teeps returns to talk about Shadow Hearts, one of the best RPGs for the PS2 and with a soundtrack that matches. With contributions by Yoshitaka Hirota and Yasunori Mitsuda it covers a lot of moods and genres.

    Just another quick mini. We recorded this a fair while back and I was too lazy to edit it so here I am now with it! Back on the GBA it seemed that every big franchise had to get a portable entry, and this one from Zone of the Enders is an interesting one, ever since trying this out on an emulator I've always had a thing for the music and would sometimes put it on just to listen to the title track. Enjoy!

    Mike's back! And it's time to talk about Final Fantasy IX. Apparently it's some kind of anniversary but I didn't plan it around that, it's just been an episode I've wanted to do for a while so when Mike called dibs it was time to get on it. Enjoy some of the best tunes on the PSX and some of Uematsu's best work period.
