We had a whole lot to say about this exciting game for April. Robbie picked Ape Escape 2 by Sony Computer Entertainment and it made us go bananas! In this episode, we discuss games that are fun for the sake of it, nostalgia for games some of us played as kids, the ways Ape Escape attempted to innovate with the Dualshock controls, and more!
If you played along with us, or have awesome memories of playing Ape Escape back in the day, add your comments here or join the discussion over on the LRG Facebook page. And for early access to GOTM episodes, exclusive polls, and hilarious outtakes, be sure to check us out over on Patreon.
Good news is, we were mostly spoiler-free (for once)! But if you haven’t played the game yet, we still encourage you to give it a try before you listen in.
This time it was Tanner’s turn, and he (with the help of our supporters on Patreon) chose Wandersong. We’d love for you to play along with us this month as we make our way through this whimsical music game as The Bard in a world of adventure.
If you are unable to play it yourself and still want to participate in the discussion, keep an eye out for our Twitch streams of the game throughout the month. Afterwards, join us on Discord to let us know your thoughts. And remember, if you want access to cool outtakes and polls, support us on Patreon!
Hello again, friends, and welcome to the March 2019 edition of the Little Rock Games Game-of-the-Month Club! This month, we played dreamy Zelda-esque Anodyne from Anagesic Productions. We took a walk down memory lane to the 16-bit land of our childhoods. Give us a listen at the link below or on your favorite podcast service. And if you played along with us in the month of March, add your comments here or join the discussion over on the LRG Facebook page.
As always, this podcast is FULL OF SPOILERS about the game, so if you haven’t played the game yet, consider giving it run-through before you listen in.
For April, Robbie picked Ape Escape 2! Join us in playing this fun remaster of the PS2 classic, recently re-released on PSN. It’s time to warm up our net-swinging arms and catch some wily monkeys (apes?).

Hello friends and welcome to this episode of the Game-of-the-Month Club Podcast! In February, we played the gorgeous platform-adventure game Gris by Spanish indie developer Nomada Studio and published by Devolver Digital. We had a lot to say about this one, so tune in and give it a listen. And if you played along with us, let us know what YOU thought of Gris in the comments below or on the Little Rock Games Facebook page.

March is Olivia’s month to pick, but there were just too many great games to choose from. So, she asked for help from our Patreon Patrons! Last month, you all selected Anodyne as the next game we would play. Pick up the game if you can and play along in this Zelda-lite exploration of the subconscious.

Ahoy, me mates!! Welcome to the maiden voyage of Season 3 of our Game-of-the-Month Club podcast. For January, we played Return of the Obra Dinn from Lucas Pope. Listen in to find out who among us played their game ship-shape and Bristol fashion, who needed a little leeway, and who abandoned ship in this nautical, multi-murder-mystery, narrative game.
Joe picked Gris by Nomada Studios for our second game of season 3. Join us in exploring this gorgeous, serene experience about a young girls sorrow. Gris is available on the Nintendo switch and Steam.
Play along and let us know what you thought about the game next month and discuss the game with us on Discord. You can also be there for our hot take of the game when one of us streams on Twitch and support us on Patreonto hear the podcast the moment it drops, plus other cool bonuses!
To kick off a new year and a new season, we are excited to announce some new developments for the Game of the Month Club for Season 3 in 2019!
Happy New Year, everyone! Over the last year, we’ve played and discussed 10 games and it’s been a blast. We really enjoy making this podcast so we want to expand it with a few new shiny things.
Patreon – We now have a Patreon where you can support the podcast with small monthly donations. If you do, you can and get cool perks in return like early access to new episodes, polls about our content, blooper reels, and more! If we reach $100 monthly we will also be giving away a copy of each month’s game in a drawing. This will help us cover the expenses of the podcast so that we can do even more.
This also means that we will be sticking to a more regular schedule for the new year. Patreon supporters will get new episodes on the 1st of every month (starting with s3 e1 on February 1st), and episodes will be released for everyone on the 8th.
Discord Community – We want to hear from listeners and fans, so we set up a Discord server for Little Rock Games. There, you can hang out and discuss our games, Game-of-the-Month picks, and more. Feel free to join if you want to chat with us and figure out what we are up to.
Twitch Streaming – We know it can be hard to keep up with a new game every month for the podcast, so we are going to start streaming some of the games we play on Twitch. That way you can follow along and get our freshest takes on the game. This is a great way to experience the games we play if you can’t pick up each game every month.
We are also introducing a Game-of-the-Season, which we will play over the next six months and discuss in our Season 3 finale. There are some games that are difficult to fully experience in one month, and so this will allow us to give bigger games the time they deserve. Our first Game-of-the-Season is God of War, which is available only on PS4. Just as with our monthly games, we’d love for you to play along with us (if you haven’t already) and send us your thoughts for the episode that we will record at the end of June!
Finally, for our first episode of Season 3, Brad chose Return of the Obra Dinn by Papers Please creator Lucas Pope. Join us in exploring the mystery of the abandoned merchant ship, Obra Dinn. This episode will be our first Patreon supported episode, so subscribe to get those new perks!
Return of the Obra Dinn is available now on Steam and a demo can be found on Itch.io.
We have a lot to look forward to in 2019, and we hope you’ll join us!
