Because of the mad hubbub around the third game in the series, Chris and Ashley venture back to where it all began with the original Baldur's Gate. Standing tall among a litany of D&D computer game adventures, this 1998 classic captured millions of imaginations in its day. But can it do the same for our hosts? And will they find the aforementioned gate? Or Bal anyone's dur? Listen in to find out!

Can a game that started with just the name be any good? That's the question we're asking this week as we take a look at Syphon Filter, an action espionage thriller type affair that feels like what you'd get if you smooshed Tom Cruise into a PlayStation. What did we think? Listen in to find out!

If you can't read, write, or type, then Read, Write & Type may be just what you need! Chris and Ashley take on the challenge to play more than ten minutes of what, even by the standards of its day, must surely have been a tedious and uninspired attempt to gamify the art of typing. Why has Chris done this, we hear you ask! Well, listen along and find out!
If you fancy giving Read, Write & Type a go, we used the free trial at this link: https://www.talkingfingers.com/read-write-type/
And the parental reviews that Chris found and mentions in the episode can be found here and here.

We roll with the punches this week in our first PlayStation 2 title, 2005's We Love Katamari! This game where you control a little guy rolling things up into a ball that gets progressively larger, it got Ashley through the hangover after his eighteenth birthday. Join us as we ramble on about this special time, self-consciously wacky games and a very unusual console with a crank.

If you're looking to beat Nintendo at their own game, they say you can't go too far wrong inviting Mickey Mouse along to help you. That's exactly what happened with the Sega Mega Drive in 1990. It might not have been Mickey's first foray into video games, but it's certainly considered one of his best. To mark the release of Illusion Island this week, we go back to where it all began in Castle of Illusion.

In stark contrast to last week's dirt-laden bloodfest, we are taking a look at the cosiest of cosy cleaning games, Chibi-Robo! A proper gem on the Nintendo GameCube, the player stars as the titular robot, tasked with cleaning up the house and straightening out the lives of the Sandersons along the way.
