It is yet another week in Video Games and the summer of Elden Ring continues as Marc has been playing more of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. However, this week he's also been playing the Director's Cut version of another game he enjoyed very much, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

In other news, Nintendo has a stocking plan to stop the potential of resellers and bots from buying up preorders of the Switch 2. Will this actually work? Is most of this just inevitable at this point with the way technology is? Or do they have a point that there is no longer an inhibitor to ensuring enough Switch 2's to go around?

Also more of the usual gambit of stuff that's been the norm for gaming as more remakes have been announced or confirmed to be coming in the form of Dead Rising and an abundance of Assassin's Creed remakes. Not to mention, Ubisoft also added to the layoff tally as well. Xbox adds another device to its Cloud Gaming portfolio, One Piece Netflix Season 2 casting and release details, and more! On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX.

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.
