Bucket List Gamers

Take your armies out of your sleevies because we're back (a little later than usual!) and we're looking at 3 Real Time Strategy games... kind of.

This week we put Command and Conquer (80), UFO: Enemy Unknown (65) and Lemmings (46) under the microscope to see how the RTS genre evolved. We ponder questions such as; why did this originally get made for consoles, why did this get ported to consoles and... why god why would this get ported to N64... amongst other things.

Jay also reminisces about nightmare-inducing character costumes, and tests Eddie on his Command and Conquer knowledge!

Yuri really going to regret it if you miss this one!

Note to Ric Flair: Please don't sue us, we love you really! Woooo!

Having been friends since college, when Jay revealed plans for what would later become BLG, Eddie jumped at the chance to be involved. Eddie has been a gamer for as long as anyone can remember, citing The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as his favourite of all time.

Jay
Coming from a writing background, having spent over a decade running WWEBlog, Jay decided it was time to go in a different direction. That direction was gaming and thus the Bucket List Gamers (and Bucket List Board Gamers) were born!

What is Bucket List Gamers?

Each show we take a look at one of the '100 Games to play before you die', as well as discussing the latest releases, consoles, successes and scandals in the gaming world.

From Defender to Daytona, Mario to Metroid and Sonic to Street Fighter, if it's in the 100 the BLG team will play it... eventually!
