All we want for Christmas is a whip... and a fedora.

Proving they aren't a couple of scrooges, Tom and Chris have given the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button some time off for the holiday! In keeping with that same holiday spirit, they have elected to give each other the gift of playing the latest first-person action-adventure title from MachineGames. Featuring everyone's favorite archeologist and set between the second and third films, it certainly sounds like something they will both enjoy. That said, Indy's recent film outings have been divisive and his video-game track record is certainly spotty as well. Let's discuss if MachineGames fully leveraged all that prior experience crafting Nazi-shooters and harnessed the highlights of this famous film franchise to make something worthy of your precious holiday hours.

Wake up! Do androids need to wear make-up?

Is it accurate to call a visual novel a game? What if it incorporates dice rolls and character advancement? The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button asks our hosts to ponder these questions with its selection for this episode. Crafted by the London-based one-person development studio Jump Over the Age and published by Fellow Traveller, this title is listed as a role-playing game. As usual, Tom and Chris have an hour to decide if that's an accurate assessment. Over the course of that hour, they must also determine if the experience is fun and worthy of at least an hour of your own time. Will theirs be an hour well spent, or will they encourage you to keep sleeping on this highly praised title? Join them as they break down their time spent trapped in android bodies that are likewise breaking down!

More lucrative than flipping burgers!

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has decided to wind things down with this renovation simulation developed by Empyrean and published by Frozen District and PlayWay. What this means in practice is that our hosts have been tasked with cleaning and fixing homes. Don't worry, they won't be breaking a sweat or pulling any muscles in this exercise, because all the mandated hard labor is purely virtual. We've seen a number of jobs masquerading as games in our many episodes, so Tom and Chris are curious if this one will fall into that unfortunate category or prove itself satisfying and (more importantly) fun to play. Join our intrepid duo as they roll up their sleeves and get to virtual work. Who knows, maybe they'll even learn some valuable life skills in the process. Only one way to find out!
