1:06:20

We don't normally bang on about TV shows (We'd be a man down if we did), but while we have been playing some new stuff, the biggest single event in videogames for the past month or so would have to be the miraculous conversion of Bethesda's beloved videogame series into passive televisual entertainment and who are we to argue with the alleged 65 mi…

Rob was going utterly insane at Marcus for buying a copy of Final Fantasy XVI without anything to play it on, but it turned out to be an elaborate hilarious joke!

E3 may not have happened again in 2023, but it's still that time of year again where we are inundated with showcases and trailers. All the main platform holders more than delivered, with Microsoft devoting almost half of their 90+ minute event to the monolithic Starfield and Sony showing off a good 15 minutes of the imminent full sequel to Spider-m…

Games games and more GAMES. That's all we're talking about this week simply because that's all we have time for, aside from perhaps a quick update on the whole Microsoft Activision saga, which likely will continue to rage on for the rest of 2023. Like I just said though, there's no time for that though on a episode that features likely more than on…

1:23:31

E3 might not be happening this year, but we still have plenty to discuss this month, including release dates for Starfield and the much delayed Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. We've also all been going a bit gooey over Sony's recent Final Fantasy focussed State of Play, so expect much more on that game when it releases in just a couple of sh…

1:22:13

After a few understandably slow years it's quite refreshing to have not 1 but 2 significant game releases this early in the year, not to mention some timely updates from the main players in our delightful hobby. These haven't been without controversy though, with the games media understandably frustrated by Microsoft's shadowdrop release of Bethesd…

The moratorium on saying 'Happy New Year' may be up, but we're still only in January so there's time for us to finally share our favourite games of 2022. Well, Rob did anyway. The others have their excuses, but you can wait for them to explain themselves. We're also forecasting the year ahead as is usual for this time in the calendar and also shari…

It's not often we all find ourselves in the same room these days, especially given recent events, but as luck would have it, Will happened to be in town around the time our latest episode was due, so we were able to sit round a mike round Rob's and shoot the shit in person. We were also joined by long term friend of the show and #NOTlistening colla…

Bit of a news-heavy episode this month as we chronicle the inevitable demise of Google Stadia, a slew of announcements from the far-east via Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo Direct & Sony's recent State of Play, while in the west Disney un-delay Midnight Suns and Ubisoft let rip with a absolute cavalcade of information regarding the future of the Assassin…

We didn't think we had a lot to get into this week, but in a moment of supreme scheduling cock-ups we found ourselves recording actually during Geoff Keighley's Gamescom opening night extravaganza, so the miniscule amount of news we did have was ultimately interrupted by a number of unexcepted megatons, including a release date for Return to Monkey…

Sorry for the delay on this episode, but we've all been a bit in the wars lately with various bouts of lingering covid and it's been so hot this week that we plain forgot to put the episode out despite it being in the can for a few days... And it took a while for us to get round to recording our thoughts on what used to consitute E3 in years past, …

While the last few weeks has seemed a bit quiet on the game release front compared to the bloodbath in February, we've let rather a lot of news stack up this time. Leading the charge is Sony, with the recently restructured digital membership offerings and a couple of State of Play's covering Hogwarts Legacy and the imminent side-scrolling cousin to…

There's no getting around it, February was a lot. Not 1, not 2, but 3 massive open world games, more multi-billion dollar studio acquisitions and - of course - more delays. In this week's episode we analyse the fallout only to discover that all three of us are playing the same thing, although that may not be for very long given that one that it is!…
