Pocketoid 48 - Bravely Default and SO much more!



FINALLY. For those who don't know, we recorded this episode 3 separate times! But it's hear and better than ever. We have a TON of games to talk about this episode! 9 reviews total! MonkeyPaw Games sent us 3 of their Retro Rush titles so we have reviews for Double Dragon (PSone/PSN), Lucifer Ring (PSone/PSN), The Firemen 2: Pete and Danny (PSone/PSN). We've a few games for you mobile folks too, Hoplite (iOS/Android), QuizUp (iOS/Android), Flapthulu (iOS). We've got some bigger revies too, One Piece: Romance Dawn (3DS), Dustforce (Vita/PS3), OlliOlli (Vita). 

And last, but certainly not least we've got our review for Bravely Default (3DS)! It's definitely been one of our most anticipated games for years and we are so excited to finally be reviewing it. This is definitely one that we will talking about for a while!

Anyway, it's been tough getting this episode out, but we're glad to finally get it to you guys! Sorry about weird echos and things. We're trying out a new recording method that's easier on us and gives you better sound quality, but there were some hiccups early in the episode. Enjoy!

Pocketoid 47 - Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder, Bravely Default Demo, and more!




In this episode we just have a bunch of random smaller games and backlog stuff to talk about because January is boooooooring! Still, we have some pretty cool stuff. We've got the Bravely Default Demo (3DS eShop), Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder (3DS eShop), Heroes of Steel (iOS, Android), and more! A little episode for a little month. Still, we think it's a pretty good one. Hope that you guys enjoy it! 

Our next episode will be a little later than usual, of course this episode itself is late, so you may not even notice. We wanted to wait until Bravely Default hits so that we could have a full review for you punks! SO, we'll see you soon!

Pocketoid 46 - 2013 Game of the Year Awards!



In this episode it's Pocketoid's 2013 Game of the Year Awards! Here at Pocketoid we only choose portable games so that means Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, iOS, and Android! What an amazing year for portable games! Like, for real. Choosing our winners was so difficult and we only picked from games we actually played this year. There were plenty of games that didn't make it into the running simply because we didn't have time to check them out in 2013! It's a good problem to have.

Our choices may or may not reflect your own, but either way these are OUR lists so no complaining! Some of the best portable games of all time came out this year and it was very difficult choosing between them. Still, we think we did a pretty good job. Also, audio got out of sync a very tiny bit, sorry about that.

What were your favorite games of 2013!? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!
