Focus on Gaming

We're Back!! Missed us? We explain our little hiatus, then get back on track with gaming views and news!

Commodore (is it PLC, International? Ltd?) is promising big things with the Amiga brand, but what will that involve? What more do you want from the Amiga brand? Retro, or maybe even a modern system?

We discuss what we played, saw, interviewed in the Nottingham Video Game Expo, like UK Amstrad Group, indie games like Everything is Crab, Ink Strings and more!

As we've missed some major stories, we give a brief verdict on what's happening with PS and Xbox recently, and mostly the big stories are pretty bad.

Yes, you can pre-order GTA 6 now, with prices revealed for the two versions, but the 'physical version' is a code in a box!

Xbox have hiked their prices for the consoles, again. What should you buy? We advise the best console to go for, and it's one that we didn't recommend when it came out!

The World Cup is here! So we discuss the best non-football games, for all those that may be drained by their nation's Cup Fever! From golf to brutal violence, we have the sport for you!

Sega have committed to releasing their entire(?) back catalogue in good news for game preservation, bad news if it's another subscription service....

Commodore have a phone coming out, that's not smart, but not entirely stupid either, would a 'dumb' phone help your mental health?

In this episode, we dive into the significant price hike for the Steam Deck—will you still pick one up, or has Valve’s bubble burst?

We also talk about Destiny 2 being dead in the water, and whether that’s big news for gaming as a whole or just for the loyal fans of the “old boy” of GAAS.

Tom’s been playing Battle for Middle-earth 2 and is about to start Mixtape, which Martin has already begun.

Duncan shares a hands-on preview of 007 First Light and his review of Forza Horizon 6.

Finally, Martin brings his epic history vs. gaming “Which Came First” quiz. Share your scores on our Facebook page, and visit www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk for all our episodes. Like, subscribe, and review!

Steam still haven't announced prices/date for their Steam Machine and Steam Frame, with the AI memory crisis front and centre in the blame game.

Nintendo are raising the price of the Switch 2, would this increase put you off? Let us know!

Game Pass has dropped in price, but at the cost of losing Call of Duty day-one releases. Tempted to return? If not, we’re checking out alternatives like Luna and Switch Online.

Tom was hyped for Splatoon Raiders—until we read the description… is it even still Splatoon?

Duncan’s been diving into Game Pass titles but has a “wait and see” caution on one highly praised game. Meanwhile, Tom’s dusted off the PSP Go for, wait… Megadrive games?

In this episode, we cover Rockstar getting hacked—with nothing GTA-related stolen—plus Fable’s concern over clashing with the GTA 6 release, and the launch of the Evercade Nexus, conveniently around the same time. Seriously, is there any gaming news not tied to GTA 6?

We also dive into Roblox’s new parental control and safety features, debating whether developers, parents, platform owners, or others should take responsibility for issues like predators and unwanted purchases.

Tom pitches a hilarious game idea—if you’ve seen the intro to *Look Who’s Talking*, you’ll know the kind of racing game we mean—and we probably talk about it way more than we should. We wrap things up chatting about games we’ve played lately, including Viewfinder, Championship Manager, CDi’s International Tennis Open, and a dash of Fortnite for good measure.

Twenty-five years ago, Nintendo launched a new generation of colour handhelds, more powerful than the Game Boy, yet still compatible with the original. Classics like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past helped sell millions of units in the early 2000s.

Duncan has been gleefully taking down Milla Jovovich in Hitman, while Martin has been enjoying the charms of Lady Dimitrescu in games we've been playing.

We wrap up this episode with a round of “Name the Platform of the Worst Games on Metacritic.” Catch all our episodes at www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review!
