In episode 11, Connor's got a scenario for us - you are given a blank cheque and asked to create a new video game publisher, acquiring who you want and creating what you want. What do you do? Do you go full Xbox and buy out the big boys like Activision for that sweet Call of Duty revenue? Do you poach talent from multiple studios to create a new, cutting edge developer? Or do you take a famed studio like Rockstar and make them create something entirely different? Listen as we share our ideas for our dream video game publisher!

In our return to the podcast, we're reopening the Checkpoint Radio Hall of Fame! The HoF is our very own list of the most iconic and memorable games we've ever played, the absolute cream-of-the-crop, and the titles we think deserve to be immortalised forever.Possibly the best game from the last generation and one that certainly holds up better than many triple A releases today - listen and enjoy as we discuss what makes Rockstar's "magnum opus" Red Dead Redemption 2 so good and why it joins Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty as the second entry in the Checkpoint Radio Hall of Fame.

It was Xbox's time to take the stage, as their 2023 Showcase aired with a number of announcements, lots of gameplay from upcoming games, some new hardware, and of course, a 50 minute long Starfield extravaganza. Luckily for us, the showcase aired just before our usual scheduled recording, so as a group, we watched the showcase, and then went straight into recording for our fresh and ripe opinions and observations. Join us as we discuss all this and more!

PlayStation has not held a showcase of any kind for two years. So, when they announced recently that they were doing a big May blow-out of video game announcements, the hype quickly hit 11. Unfortunately, we saw little in terms of first party reveals, and instead were bombarded with a bunch of third party games, some weird new hardware (seriously, though, PlayStation earbuds?!) and some VR stuff. We did, however, get a really good look at Spider-Man 2, which looks as promising as we all thought it would.

Also in this episode: Overwatch 2 bin off a big new single player mode, and what's going on with The Last of Us' delayed multiplayer?

Redfall was pushed as a major AAA release for Xbox, and the first fully exclusive Bethesda title for Team Green. After a year-long delay, the pressure on Arkane Austin to deliver was absolutely huge, but unfortunately, the revered studio fell well short of its usual high standards. Redfall is a disaster and there is not much else to say about it. In today's episode, we chat a bit about the game, and talk in depth about what's going on at Xbox, whether Phil Spencer is to blame or not, and if there is any reason for Xbox players to be optimistic.

If you could bring back any game from history and rework it for a new audience, what would it be and why? This is the question we're asking each other in this week's episode! Reboots and remakes are popular among all kinds of media and entertainment, so we thought we'd get creative and talk about our fantasy video game reboots.Also in this episode, we discuss the latest The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailers, Dark and Darker developers legal troubles and Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League's 9-month delay.

The Last of Us is one of the greatest video games of all time, and questions marks over a possible live action adaptation have been lingering for years. But now that HBO have taken up the seemingly impossible task of adapting one of gaming's most iconic stories, how does it stack up? We get into a spoiler-filled review and give our thoughts on the epic, 9 part series. Also in this episode, we'll be talking Diablo 4, Redfall, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League and paying our tributes to the late Lance Reddick.

It's episode 02 and we are officially launching the Checkpoint Radio Hall of Fame! This ongoing series will have us discussing (probably arguing) over which games we think deserve to be immortalised in our official greatest games of all time list. We'll also have some reaction to the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League gameplay trailer, Sons of the Forest's early access launch success, and whether or not Destiny 2's "Content Vault" is a problem for gamers.
