Sword of the Sea Slaps and Mafia: The Old Country Does Not | Party Select Podcast

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-5scia-194fe6b

Welcome to Party Select, where two dudes and a guy who’s their friend talk about the best thing there is: video games.

We’re two-thirds through 2025 and it’s been quite the year. Great video games, weird video games, weird and not so great state of the video game industry. The trend continues this month with Sword of the Sea, Is This Seat Taken, and Mafia: The Old Country. And we’ve got plenty more news and games where that came from!
