7. 'Tekken' (PlayStation, 1995)


Ah, the good old days! When men were men and CEOs tested their child’s business acumen by throwing them off cliffs. When you put on a fighting tournament and there were none of these snowflakes complaining about fairness, bleating about ‘what do you mean I have to fight a robot man’ or ‘wait, that other robot man has a sword’.

Join us, won’t you, as we return to those halcyon days of the late nineties and plunge into the richest Game World that we’ve yet encountered.

6. Be Over mini - Is Mario happy?


 He’s the hero we deserve, but not the hero we need. More immediately recognisable than Mickey Mouse. Alleged gorilla jailer. Eternal simp. Endless fountain of optimism and excitement…or is he? Simply put, when we peek behind his constant whooping and hollering, his somewhat fixed grin, his seemingly heroic desire to rid the world of evil, what do we find? 

To be frank, is Mario happy?

5. 'The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild' (Switch, 2017)

Oho - shit’s getting serious now! After ‘SpideyMans PS4’ made such an impact on our scores last time, we’re not making things any easier for ourselves by diving into a game that, rumour has it, did quite well upon its release a hard-to-fathom five years ago.

This episode has it all, Nintendo devotees, Nintendo sceptics, and one man’s quest to deal with the terror of lifting up a rock and finding a tiny, but very alive, screeching leaf man who offers you his…poo?

4. Be Over mini - What console would we save in the inevitable humans v. robots war?

Want to learn more about who the hell we are? How do we know each other? Why are we doing this? What year is it?

Find the answer to possibly some of these questions as we begin our first Be Over mini episode, where we break format from our usual ranking and have a more general or hypothetical gaming discussion. This time - if we had a gun to our heads (harpoon or otherwise), what console would we save to comfort and entertain us in the inevitable humans v. robots war?
