  • Episode 67: Xbox & Bethesda Showcase Featuring Peter from Hitbox!

    This week we are bringing on a very special guest, Peter from Hitbox! As the expert on all things Xbox we needed him badly to talk about the Xbox + Bethesda showcase breakdown. When we have a special guest on, we tell them "hey, you should do our work for us" so this week's GG is brought to you by Peter and he's not taking any prisoners. As always, we cover the news, do the Heat Check, and talk about the new PS Plus tiers yet again. Do you have what it takes? Did Xbox blow you away? Another question?

                  You know what they say about March; in like a lion and out like a lamb. Well, guess what? We're coming in like a Jump Force possessed Dan and we're leaving the same way! How stoked are we for Ghostwire Tokyo, Kirby, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands? Moderately! We talk about the possible God of War show, a couple new release dates, and the next game from Supermassive. In what may become a recurring segment, we talk about more shitty people in the Games Industry and how they suck. Speaking of shitty people, we also talk about J.K. Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy, but also that sweet sweet goodness that was the Japanese focused State of Play from March 9th. Everyone* agrees it was the best State of Play in a long long time.
