Ain't No Game

James is joined by editor Stewart Daniels to discuss James Cameron's 1984 science fiction film, The Terminator. This iconic movie had a huge impact on the industry, and spawned several videogame tie-ins as the killer robot from the future established itself as a juggernaut franchise. |  James and Stew talk about their first viewings of the film at a young age, how the film holds up 30+ years on, and if the 2D platform game for the MegaDrive was really that good. There's a storm coming. | Thanks for listening and drop us an email at [email protected] with any suggestions, questions or general bants for the team. | Follow us on Instagram/Twitter @aintnojames | We'll be back.

Final Fantasy VII is back! A HD remake to one of the most beloved games of all time is here, but some of us aren't as excited as others, especially when it comes to looking back at the Final Fantasy the films.

Non fan James is joined by VFX Artist Richard Blackburn who also doesn't share the passion for turn-based RPGs, whilst film Producer Ben Jacques and comedian Mat Brooks offer their fond memories and love for the 23 year old game, their thoughts on the remake and also discuss where the films may have taken a (very) wrong footing for the non-initiated.

From growing up during the height of Turtle Power, owning the Playmates toys, loving the cartoon, the video games and first live-actions films, Mat and James take a trip down the sewers of their memories to discuss just what makes the Fab Four such a timeless, popular and endearing franchise to this day. Cowabunga!

James and Danny discuss one of the biggest icons in gaming, Sonic the Hedgehog. From the 1991 Megadrive/Genesis classic and its 16-bit sequels, through to the first feature length animated movie released on VHS in 1996.

They discuss the impact the games had on their childhood and how the blue blur's animated antics hold up today. As a Live-Action adaptation of the computer game mascot looks set for a cinematic release later this year, James and Danny chat about which direction the film could go.
