VIDEO GAME DEATHMATCH - An Analytic Audio-Adventure!
Originally a 1UP Pod spin off series, now going it alone. Video Game Deathmatch is a unique combination of video game review and audio drama. Every episode sees our host, Andy, trapped in a new scenario - from being trapped on a spaceship overrun by monsters to fighting through crime filled streets/night clubs, and beyond! While trying to survive these potentially lethal environments, Andy tries to compare two unique games against each other to see which one is the superior title!
