Sonic The Hedgehog Movie???

Parmaount have announced there's going to be a Sonic movie out in a few years' time and it's gotten us all hot and bothered at Arcade Attack. Dylan immediately regrets bringing the whole thing up but there is one thing we're unanimous on - Emma Stone needs to be a part of it.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has an almost perfect Metacritic score. The N64 classic is often touted as one of the best game ever made. Adrian introduces a homage to (arguably) the greatest Action/Adventure game released.

Ocarina of Time brings back so many happy memories for Adrian, he just had to share his story of how important this game meant to him growing up. Is it truly the best Zelda game ever made... well, listen now to hear our views!

Sylvester Stallone Games Pt 1 - Rocky, Rambo, Judge Dredd & Demolition Man

Is there any actor that's been immortalised in video games more than Sly? We really doubt it. From Rocky to Demolition Man to Judge Dredd, we have a chat about his finer (and not so finer) attempts at VG immortality. There's bound to be (at least) a second part of this...

Nintendo NES, SNES and N64 Mini Additions?

On the eve of the UK release of the mini Super Nintendo, we discuss its lineup, the lineup of its NES predecessor and what games we'd rather see instead. After some mild fisticuffs we move on to what we'd like to see in a N64 Mini which is surely on the horizon.

Action 52 - The Story of the Worst Game Ever Made

The tale of Vince Perri and Action 52 is one that is often told but definitely worthy of a revisit. Adrian tells us the story, the highlights of the doomed 52-game compendium (with extracts from our interview with head dev Mario Gonzalez), and why it will always have a place in video gaming folklore.

Video Game Music (VGM) Loves... And Quiz!

It's about time we talked about retro video game music. Keith kicks us off with his favourite VGM soundtracks and what makes them special for him, which then leads to a heated discussion (almost leading to fisticuffs - hmm maybe), finishing with a VGM quiz hosted by Keith which you can all follow along to.

Let us know how you did on said quiz @arcadeattackUK

Obscure SNES Titles - The Firemen & Demon's Crest

Bubsy & Bubsy 3D - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Quite a lot as it turns out... Dylan subjects the AA crew to an hour and a half of Bubsy "goodness", looking back at all of his console adventures, the legendary cartoon pilot and of course (what we thought was the nail in the coffin) Bubsy 3D.

Dino Crisis

Has Dylan finally lost the plot? Here he "treats" us to a rundown of all three (yes, three) Dino Crisis games, tells us what made (some of) it good, how it went horribly wrong and whether if done right, this could have been bigger than Resident Evil. Needless to say everyone laughed. A lot.

Is Dino Crisis in desperate need of a remaster?

We Love Katamari

Do we love Katamari? You betcha bottom dollar we do! Adrian talks about his love for the game, how he ruined a perfectly good PS1 game in the course of enjoying said game, and also where the series could have gone (we're guessing in a big ball the size of the earth).

Is this the best Katamari game in the series?

Resident Evil 2

Quite possibly (in our Dylan's eyes) the best Resident Evil game ever made, whch is no mean feat given the (approx) 1,000,000 games in the franchise. Here we look at what makes the game so special for us, pick out its best bits and enjoy some of that oh so awesome soundtrack.

Meet Arcade Attack!

Yes that is a Subbuteo t-shirt I'm wearing! Embarrassing photo aside we thought it'd be nice in our 20th podcast to tell you a bit about how we got here. No, not our bad life decisions but what gaming consoles we grew up with, what ones we're filling our homes with now, and our thoughts on life (it sucks, gaming rules).

Daytona USA vs Sega Rally

We're surprised the Arcade Attack "offices" are still standing after this face-off between two of the best arcade racers ever created. Dylan brings Daytona, Keith brings Sega Rally, there can only be one winner. Which is your favourite?

Sensible Soccer vs FIFA International Soccer

Sensible Soccer really put football games on the map. The Sensible Software classic (made by Jon Hare) is often regarded as the most important football game ever made! But, should FIFA be given more respect?

Dylan has us all in a tither by suggesting this grudge match of arguably the two most important football/soccer games of all time. Which one is your favourite? Do you agree? Let us know!
