(brandon:) Hmm I'm PRETTTTTTY sure that is a fake game manufactured for the movie but it would be fun if it were a real-world specific game. it's not in the imdb trivia!

2023-11-01 21:30:32 +0000 UTCI agree with Tim about RE 6. I played it a while ago, and it's just a bonkers time with a huge canvas and good vibes. Brandon, I think you could chill with Reveations 2.

2023-11-01 17:48:48 +0000 UTCGreat Halloween episode!! Got my blood pumping with the new buzzer sound!! This fun tidbit of information can be taken with a grain of Tim Rogers handsome saying “who cares?” salt; I believe the game played in Shaun of the Dead is Time Splitters 2! That weird aiming the gun AROUND the screen and not with the screen was not lost on my eyes when that movie came out.
