028 - Perfect Dark

Published: Aug. 1, 2021, 7 a.m.

b'Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\\n\\nOnce a month, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\\u2019s Xbox Game Pass service, which was chosen for them (usually) completely at random.\\n\\nWhether the game is a magical or a horrible experience, they\\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what\\u2019s coming up on the next adventure.\\n\\nThis month, Mike Duddy returns to talk about playing the Xbox 360 remake of the lauded N64 classic Perfect Dark. Mike was a big fan of the series growing up, and Derek had never played it before (and was pretty certain that this episode was just going to be a massive argument). Was it? Listen on to find out!\\n\\nThe remaster to the Nintendo 64 classic puts players in the role of Joanna Dark, an agent for Carrington Institute. In Perfect Dark, players battle across 17 action-packed levels, utilizing a range of high-tech weaponry and gadgets to take down the dataDyne corporation. Compete with others in the \\u201cCombat Simulator\\u201d or take the fight online in a co-operative mode that lets you take on enemies with a friend. Relive a classic with updated graphics in this high-definition take on Perfect Dark for Xbox 360.\\n\\nListen to find out how things went, and if you like what you\\u2019ve heard, here\\u2019s where you can subscribe to the show:\\n\\nAnchor\\nApple Podcasts\\nBreaker\\nCastbox\\nGoogle Podcasts\\niHeartRadio\\nOvercast\\nPocket Casts\\nPodBean\\nRadioPublic\\nStitcher\\nSpotify\\nTuneIn\\n\\nThanks for joining us for another episode!
