Just because you’ve left this mortal coil doesn’t mean you have to stop having adventures. OK, maybe they won’t be regular adventures anymore. Maybe they will be something more, something intangible, something spooky. That’s right folks, we’re talking about ghostventures (but probably just video games).
After an in-depth discussion of the new games dropping this week, Jonah, Jesse, Adam & Adam talk about what they’ve been playing this week. Jesse and Jonah give differing opinions on Child of Eden, while Jonah gives the run down on the Dungeon Siege III demo. More old Game Boy games were played by the guys thanks to the 3DS Virtual Console, so there is talk as to why everyone should buy both Donkey Kong (AKA Donkey Kong ’94) and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Adam Anania fills us in on his further adventures with GO Series Picdun and Milecki brings us up to speed on the latest Captain Jameson updates.
All this and a whole lot more on Barrel Roll! #121, “Ghostventures”.
Atari has obtained the rights to five lesser-known Ubisoft titles. The deal includes Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Child of Eden, Grow Home, and Grow Up.

Naysayers, though, can be shown examples of art in video games that are hard to deny – such as the visuals of the sadly overlooked Child of Eden, released for Kinect in 2011."

But hey, that's where the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in, delivering a host of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at bargain basement prices. Want to know exactly what is on offer between the 19th-25th March 2019? There's a good few to choose from!"
