Number 46 - Final Fantasy VII, Parodius: Fantastic Journey, Luigi’s Mansion 2

in

Hey, hey, kids! 

Have you ever played Final Fantasy VII, Parodius: The Fantastic Journey or Luigi's Mansion 2? 

If so, listen in and see what we thought of the games you may have loved or loathed. And if not so, maybe we can talk you into giving them a blast? 

We three cents place hands firmly on our hearts and suggest that this generation defining RPG, this cutesy, parody shoot 'em up, and this.. hoover simulator (?) are all very, very worthy of your time. 

Also this week: Jonathan finishes Outer Wilds, Minty doesn't finish Tales of Vesperia, and Chris gets someone else to finish Limbo.

Number 51 - Super Mario 3D Land, Pokémon Blue, Guardian Heroes

in

In our final numbered episode of season one you will hear:  a particularly weasely quiz question; Jonathan getting hot and heavy over a listener's question; some thoughts on our secret santa gifts; and Chris' thoughts on a classic.

Then more games. Three incredible games. A veritable triumvirate of bloody good games.

Jonathan talks up one of the best handheld Mario games of all time whilst simultaneously throwing swathes of depth-perception-based criticism at 1986’s Labyrinth. Minty reminisces about Pocket Monster themed ephemera present at the birth of a franchise and Chris bigs up a mostly forgotten brawling treasure from the back catalogue of the legendary Sega Saturn.

Perhaps these are games you loved? Or perhaps they're games you'll grow to love. 

We certainly love them. And we love you.

Number 59 - Mario Kart 8, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Plants vs. Zombies

in

After a brief, one-week hiatus to allow Jonathan to enjoy being newly married to his lovely lady wife, the boys are back in town (copyright Phil Lynott, lyrics used by permission of Vertigo Records) to once again celebrate their love of video games. 

Tackling their 59th favourite video games of all time, listen intently as Jonathan gives Mario Kart 8 a big thumbs up; Minty gives a huge A-OK hand gesture in the general direction of A Link Between Worlds; and Chris gives a standing ovation to Plants vs Zombies. 

Link visits a Mercedes Benz dealership on the outskirts of Hyrule Market! Dinosaurs duff each other up! Lands of both high and low topography fall into disrepair! Flooded literature! A shitty ouroborous! Plants inexplicably fighting zombies! 

All of that, and probably a bit more: it's Our Three Cents.


(I apologise for the moistness of this episode - I will never again eat chocolate raisins whilst recording. I am sorry for your ears. -JD)

Number 60 - Pokémon X, Fire Emblem Fates, Hyrule Warriors

in

The accusation that we three cents are just a bunch of Nintendo fanboys is usually unfounded! Especially given Chris’ notorious love of all things Mega Drive, and Jonathan’s salacious affair with the Sega Saturn library! But in an episode that touches on the three big Nintendo RPG series, it’s hard to argue that we don’t absolutely flipping love Nin-ruddy-tendo!

Swords, shields, monsters and incest - the main pillars of many games, are all present here! We also take some time to discuss the ongoing questing of Minty and his dragons whilst he attempts to escape rooms on his phone; Jonathan having a wonderful time venturing into the blind forest with Ori, and Chris’ tremendous disappointment with poorly ported retro games!

It’s all good fun!

Number 61 - Euro Truck Simulator 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Kingdom Hearts

in

Honk! This week on Our Three Cents, the chaps are all horrible. “What’s different from usual?” I hear you ask! Well, this time, they’re all horrible geese! Enabled by the sterling work of House House, Untitled Goose Game has captured all of our imaginations - find out what these three cents think of the game here. Will you be having a honkingly good time terrorising the neighbourhood?

Also, hear all about Nintendo’s latest mobile release in Mario Kart Tour - is it worth your time? 

Meanwhile a can of time worms is opened as Chris waxes lyrical about his time on the open road with the cult classic, Euro Truck Simulator 2; Jonathan wanes chordially about his titanic adventure in Xenoblade Chronicles 2; and Minty moons melodically about the hugely successful Final Fantasy & Disney chimera that is Kingdom Hearts!

Which of these 61st favourite video games of all time have you played?!

What’s with all of these rhetorical questions? You tell me… that’s not how rhetoric works… Sorry?

Number 64 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Gunstar Heroes, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

in

Look, mate, we know it's hard being the only kid in the playground during Monday lunch not talking about the latest Our Three Cents episode. 

They'll all be talking up how Chris was banging on about the Mega Drive yet again whilst Jonathan and Minty had a bit of a Zelda love-in, and you'll be staring at your shoes thinking 'if only I were a centurion, if only I knew what the boys 64th favourite video games of all time were'.

Now you can. Now you can!

Embrace the cents.

Number 88 - Worms Armageddon, Life is Strange, Pokémon Rumble World

in

In a jam-packed episode this week, we have our first repeat entry - the chaps are more riddled with Worms than ever before! In a surprising video game industry twist, Tetris is the suddenly the most revolutionary title on the market again - life really is strange! And whilst Minty plays with his suspiciously-designed pocket monsters, Jonathan explains why Blowfish Studio’s Minesweeper Genius is better than Red Dead Redemption 2! Discuss.
