Topic Of The Show:
We've revealed the latest GI cover, and we think horror fans are in for a treat. Join Shea and Stadnik as they break down their time seeing The Callisto Protocol and talking with the dev team at Striking Distance Studios. We kick off the segment detailing some of the game's story and talking about what new protagonist Jacob is up against on Jupiter's scariest moon. We then discuss the game's multiple combat systems, including the tantalizing dance of the unique dodging system combined with ranged and melee attacks. Is The Callisto Protocol going to live up to horror fans' lofty expectations? Time will tell, but we hope today's segment will make the wait a little easier.

On this week's show, the spotlight shifts to Summer Game Fest, and let me tell you, we have some wild predictions. Carson and Reiner join us for the fun and bring the heat with predictions on Gears 6, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and so much more. With points and pride on the line, who's picks will prove correct? Only time will tell.

We can honestly say that this week's Listener Questions is one of the sillier ones we've had in a minute. Join the crew as they answer your questions on what we're excited to see at Summer Game Fest, does Geoff Keighley age, and how we interact with...babies?
