For this episode we have another one of our deep dives, although this time we are taking a look at not 1, not 2, but 25 individual games! UFO 50 is a compilation of 50 individual retro style games that released in 2024 and more recently this year on Switch, and has been on the Beats crew radar for awhile. But wait, there are 50 games and we're only talking about 25? What gives? Yeah, it turns out that playing 50 games takes a long time, and so does talking about 50 games. So we decided to split things in the middle and call it at the halfway point.

For a sampling of what to expect from the first half of this collection, you've got a car racing game with a Splatoon paint mechanic, a golf ball RPG, a house party deck builder, a platformer with controls unlike anything we've ever played, and a ton more! It's a fun and varied collection of games with something for everyone. So settle in, grab your retro style controller of choice, and join us for this deep dive of UFO 50!

Apologies for the delay with this episode, but it was a rough work week. Well while we're on the subject, let's go ahead and talk about some games featuring the Beats Crew's favorite past time - work! We talk about Yakuza Infinite Wealth where you get occupation based job classes, Once Upon a Katamari where your dad gives you work all day long, and more! But it's not all just about fun and games - we talk about our real life work experiences at Walmart, Gamestop, and other places that kept us gainfully (painfully?) employed in our youth. And to wrap things up have a double dose of work based trivia at the end to put your brain to work as well. So get ready to punch in, zone out until break time, and join us for this look at working games!

Halloween is almost here and the spooky season is coming to a close. To send things off with a bang we are celebrating by having a trivia game show contest with a spooky theme! All questions will be related to horror games such as Silent Hill, Five Nights at Freddy's, old school horror games - and more! As an added twist, we select categories in the order that we think will bank us more points. Later questions are worth more points, so it's best to tackle the challenging topics first and hope for the best later. Think you've got some skills in horror game trivia? Then grab your chainsaw controller and join us, for this Spooky Game Trivia Contest!
