We've got a bumper episode today as we take a look at some recent news before heading into our main topic for this week!

The release of Modern Warfare 3 has got Call of Duty fans in a spin, and we question what's next for this once iconic franchise. Valve give the Steam Deck a massive new upgrade as they surprisingly announce a refined version of the popular handheld device - an insult to early adopters, or a good move? And we take a look at Bungie's struggles as the Destiny developer lays off over a hundred members of staff, adding to the ever growing list of budget and personnel cuts across the entire gaming industry.

Later in the episode, we get into cloud gaming! We've been testing the various offerings from the likes of PlayStation, Xbox and Nvidia, as we dive into the world of video game streaming and ask ourselves if cloud really is the future of gaming.
