Focus on Gaming

As somebody who only really played numbers 1, 2, and 3 on release, in the main Resident Evil series, when I got this book, I didn't think that it would really be for me. However, Tommy Keough has structured a book that is both full of information about the horror franchise, but also accessible for just snippets of information. From the first, the classic mansion-based story, all the way to this year’s Requiem, it has about the games’ stories, locations, how they were received, and much more! He has biographies of the heroes, the villains, and of course – The monsters (‘B.O.W.s’, which I found out means Bio-Organic Weapons!).

Theres some glorious pictures to accompany the information, screenshots, game cases, artwork, and these will delight and disgust as you can imagine, with such delights as Lepotitsa from Resident Evil 6, a game I haven’t played, so haven’t come across the gas-spewing, slimy looking B.O.W. that looks like it is covered in weird mammaries on it’s entire body, which is both hilarious and gross in its appearance. Also, don’t worry young gentlemen of the world, Lady Dimitrescu is there too!

All in all, a great book for fans of the series, and those wishing to know more about Resi, as it is a lot bigger than just 9 main games, though just those 9 are giants of the gaming world!

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?

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.

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.
