The Geekiverse’s all gaming podcast is back! On this month’s episode, we discuss Insomniac’s Spider-man, the newest original Xbox games you can play on your Xbox One, Ewoks in Battlefront II, and much more.

Welcome back to Geeks Got Game! This month’s episode is a journey featuring Josiah LeRoy & Tom Kolbert (no Seth or Pav?!).

There’s no shortage of news in the world of gaming. Up first, Xbox Live got a few updates this week in the form of more backwards compatible titles. A whole slew of titles are now Xbox One X enhanced, including OG Xbox hits such as Jade Empire, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, and much more. While Tom (a PlayStation convert) found the list disappointing, Josiah (an Xbox fanboy) was giddy at the possibility of playing so many older Star Wars titles. Speaking of older games, Spyro: Reignited is slated for release this September. Rebuilt from the ground up much like last year’s Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy, the collection is a trilogy featuring the first 3 Spyro games from the late 1990s PlayStation One era. Tom already has it pre-ordered.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is getting an odd new game mode this week in which players get to play as Ewoks during the Battle of Endor. Nope, this isn’t an April Fools joke. The content is free, along with all of the other Battlefront 2 DLC. In shifting gears to this Fall, we dedicated the rest of the episode to Insomniac’s highly anticipated game, Spider-man. We analyzed Game Informer’s coverage of the game, make some insane early predictions as to how the game will review, and discuss the makings of what is likely to be another busy Fall gaming season with Red Dead Redemption 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and more heavy hitters that have yet to be announced ahead of E3.
