Welcome to The Gamerheads Podcast! Mike and Phil kick off with a Halloween recap, sharing quirky trick-or-treating memories and Roger’s fictional cross-country "trick-or-treating world record" attempt. They also revisit Halloween classics like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror, capturing the cozy nostalgia of Halloween night.

November Game Releases: Is the Big Season Back?

The hosts turn their attention to November’s releases, wondering if the month is reclaiming its former status as a top season for new games. They discuss Tetris Forever, Lego Horizon, Dragon Quest 3 HD Remake, and Metal Slug Tactics, noting a wide variety of titles but a lack of major holiday blockbusters.

Game Review Spotlight: Retro Realms

Mike reviews Retro Realms, a horror-themed indie game featuring classic characters like Michael Myers and Ash from Evil Dead. Though he enjoys the retro style and collectibles, he finds input lag disrupts gameplay. Despite this, the horror atmosphere and unique arcade setting provide a fun experience.

Creepy Card Games: Inscryption

The crew dive into Inscryption, a card-based horror game blending escape-room puzzles with roguelike mechanics. Trapped in a mysterious cabin, players face off against a sinister figure, building eerie tension through unsettling visuals and atmospheric storytelling. While the game’s tough, both enjoy the unique mix of horror and strategy.

Wrapping Up the Halloween Season: Farewell, Retro Game Frankenstein

With Halloween over, Mike and Phil bid farewell to their seasonal segment “Retro Game Frankenstein,” until next year.
