First Is Worst - Vidjagame Apocalypse 646

Listen to this episode from Vidjagame Apocalypse on Spotify. It's a big week for new game releases, and we have a whopper of a show to match. We start by taking a look back at game franchises where the first entry isn't necessarily a bad game on its own merits, but is probably the worst or least memorable of the bunch.  After that, we race into the second segment to talk all about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Baby Steps, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and Silent Hill f. Then we cover the recent State of Play, news coming out of Tokyo Game Show 2025, Xbox price hikes, and more!  Question of the Week: What's your favorite "black sheep" entry in a game franchise?  Break Song is "Worst Comes to Worst" by Dilated Peoples ft. Guru Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
