Pat and James dive deep on one of their favourite games from the modern era.

Each question was hand posted and travelled by ship to reach us.

Pat and James throw down in RSPodcast’s first versus only title!

Does Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom represent a glorious golden age of city builders? Or should it be subtitled Rise of the Middling Kingdom?

Is it worth your time to skate through the streets of Tokyo-to, or did video kill the Jet Set Radio Star?

Does Star Wars: Podracer deserve its status as a thrilling and intense competitor to the F-Zero games? Or is it coarse, and rough, and irritating, and gets everywhere?

Is Starfox 64 worth your time to play today, or should you play Starfox 1-63 first?

Is suffering through a pandemic in a video game just as much fun as it is in real life?

Is Space Channel 5 still groovy, or does it struggle to keep its rhythm?

Panzer General is a 1994 wargame set in the second world war. Can its huge breadth of tactical decisions still create compelling gameplay or is the whole experience just a big no tank-you?

Is this hybrid RTS/puzzle-game worth your time, or should you Pik another game to play?

Man, the pun for this one is far too obvious.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has you defend your clients for truth and justice. Does it deliver a satisfying result, or does Phoenix Wright get it all wrong?

Are Megaman 2’s action-platforming and non-linear structure still fun to battle through today? Or has its reputation simply been hyped by its Megafans?

Ys: The Oath in Felghana attempts to transform a side-scrolling NES adventure into a 3D Action RPG, powerups and all. Is it a blast to play today, or is criticising it just all too Ysy?

Pat and James return to the game that started it all in the sequel to their very first episode! Can Doom II live up to the high-bar set by the original or is this one game that was doomed from the beginning?

Is Resident Evil REmake still a scary and immersive experience? Or have its ‘outdated’ mechanics left it horrifying for all the wrong reasons?

War. War never changes. But the way in which we view it might.

Another World was truly revolutionary at the time of its release, but these days are you better off just playing another game?

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin dramatically expands on everything present in Codename 47. Can these changes solve the fundamental issues that plagued the first?
