LGR 2016: Episode 21 - The Golden Selection


Direct download: http://lapsedgamerradio.podbean.com/e/lgr-2016-episode-21-the-golden-selection/

WARNING! This episode is spoilerific!

With all the fuss about the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and the recent Ballyhoo! Episode on Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth, what better time for LGR to take a peek at the oft overlooked chapter Uncharted: The Golden Abyss than now?

Team stalwarts Mark and Andy go globetrotting with friend of the show Colm Sheridan of the Last Saved Loaded podcast joining them to get the lowdown on this 2007 PSVita exclusive launch release.

With all the ups and the downs, is this a woefully overlooked title or just woeful? 

The Lapsed Gamer Radio Team created this episode and it was edited by Cevin Moore

Original LGR themes, FX and music cues created and composed and bruised by Cevin Moore.


Additional music is from Uncharted: Golden Abyss and was composed by Clint Bajakian
