Another wild week in Video Games with another move in the "no fences and no red lines" from Microsoft as Forza Horizon 5 the multiple award-winning title from Playground Studios, is headed to the PlayStation 5, and you can go wishlist it now. At this point, does it even move the needle for those like Sean and Marc, who witness this every day? But it certainly seems PlayStation players are excited and that's what matters in the end.

Speaking of Sony, they made some moves at the top by promoting a new CEO of all of the company and also moving Hideaki Nishino to the top of Sony Interactive Entertainment while Hermen Hulst stays at his position at PlayStation Studios. Does this really mean much? And will it bear fruit in the near future or is it something we won't see until maybe the PlayStation 6 is around?

Plus, Sean's been playing Big Helmet Heroes, Marc's been playing Sniper Elite Resistance, EA downsized Bioware a week after the news of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's lackluster sales, Need For Speed is on hold again, Sony drops the PSN Requirement for several PC games, Multiversus is officially ending, and more!

Each week on Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer brings his perspective as a longtime veteran of games journalism to the table. He’s often joined by semi-regular co-host and seasoned reviewer Marc Morrison, or sometimes a guest, for conversations that dig into the entire world of interactive entertainment. The discussion naturally flows from the games they’re currently playing and reviewing into the biggest news stories shaping the industry. Every episode also carves out space for a deeper dive on a special topic, giving the analysis room to breathe beyond just the headlines. Given that games don't exist in a vacuum, the dialogue occasionally branches into related films and television shows, all filtered through a gamer's lens. This isn't a rushed recap; it's a considered chat between knowledgeable voices who have been around the block. The result is a podcast that feels like sitting in on a conversation between friends who just happen to have a wealth of experience. You’ll hear genuine opinions, informed debates, and the kind of context that only comes from years of paying close attention. Whether it's a blockbuster release or a niche indie title, the focus remains on thoughtful commentary over simple hype. Tune in for a comprehensive, yet personal, take on everything happening in gaming and the pop culture that intersects with it.
