      @@systemisdead I'm tempted to believe this, but I have one doubt: When she says "Eggs", there is a slight hesitation and she says "Eh-eggs". It sounds more like someone who was reading the script for the first time and was legitimately taken off-guard. The in-game voice is 100% AI, but the narrator does sound human because of those little details and those would are typically present in high quality AI models. It is highly unlikely that the creators of this game would have a high quality voice model and a cheap ass TikTok narration model in the same game. It makes much more sense that they found someone on Fiver for the opening narration to make the first 5 minutes of the game seem like thought and care went into it (probably for a trailer).

    If you can manage to snag a copy of the Nanosaur II free trial (since it's no longer sold), that's an awesome title. You play as a Pterodactyl with a jetpack and laser guns and you steal eggs back and destroy the turrets/structures set up by the evil time traveling raptors who also have laser guns. You can even keep playing after the trial "ends" and beat the whole game. Truly a hidden gem.

      If you like the film, good feeling shooting with lots of gibs/gore and like a power fantasy you will probably enjoy Robocop. It's not perfect but the devs show they have care for the franchise and they aren't AAA nor have AAA money so I think they succeeded. I think people forget games are entertainment, sometimes all they need to do is be fun (Game isn't fun for arcxcc, please respect his opinions) and not raise any bars.

      I'm sure the game is good enough for some mindless fun with throwing guys and stuff, and a fan might enjoy it, but that doesn't excuse shallowness, especially since the film it's based off was actually about something more interesting than a mere "cool robot guy shoot other guys" spectacle.

    Please make more episodes of Hidden Gems, this is a great new format. There are so many weird, obscure, terrible, etc., videogames out there just waiting to be roasted by Dunkey. And there are plenty of little known enjoyable videogames (Chulip!) for Dunkey to discover and love as well.

I think I have a copy of each somewhere in my Lair (2007) closet.

The dragon content in Lair is no matchup against Dragon2020 since it only contained dragons and no human. I absolutely had to trade my 5th and final copy of Lair for that. Lost Luggage and Frantic Flea look fun and I'm looking forward to remastered versions of both. Izzy's quest for the Olympic Rings looks really difficult . . .

      I used to get excited every week but not anymore...Man the show has gone to shit. It used to be so much better when he went by his full name Jim Dunkeyton the 3rd but I guess shortened names are cool now and do better in the algorithm ? Like you said he already covered Lair and this episode added nothing new and was just a rehash of his old Lair episode. Is he all out of ideas ? Has he gotten bored with this series ? Is the fact that he is now owned by the liberal media ? Who knows.

    My personal hidden gem is the Curious George game for PS2. Truly an underappreciated masterpiece of its time.

    Thank you for bringing us another portion of the Hidden Gems! Love the show! Already thinking to buy those 600 copies of Animal Well in mint condition

    Robocop does a great job of making you feel like an 80's robot

    I like how the dialogue around 2:15 really makes you feel like a confused voice actor.
