Focus on Gaming

In this week's episode we chat about Crash Bandicoot and with it's recent addition to Game Pass, was the reboot harder or the same difficulty as the PS1 originals?

Or are we just getting older and worse at games?

Which one is better?

We've also been playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, well....Martin hasn't, because cloud.

Duncan has played it, so gives his thoughts.

Kunitsu Gami: Path of the Goddess is a game Duncan has been dying to talk about and praises it, and highly recommends it to everyone.

In this episode, we discuss The Simpsons and their video game adaptations. From the cult classic Hit & Run to the Microtransaction filled mobile games, there is plenty of games to choose from. Which was your favourite?

We also diverged to chat about Doctor Who and whether the games from the Gallifrey Galavanter were worth playing.

Would you rather Simpsons or the Doctor? Let us know!

With news about the Xbox 360 marketplace shutdown, Fallout London, and the PSVR2 price drop and PC connection.

With games released on this day bringing a big canyon of a disagreement between the team, what game do you feel against the majority of gamers?

Sorry for the 24hr delay for this episode, sometimes real life gets in the way!

SEX!

Now we've got your attention, we talk about sex in video games over the years, the good and the bad.

From the Atari's attempt to be 'sexy' in early 80s to the 3D realism of modern day.

Is nudity/sex in video games actually sexy? Do you have any good examples that we missed? Let us know!

We've turned 1 this episode! We've gone up from 2 to 3 presenters, a name change, interviews, 24hr streams, all in the name of gaming. We hope you enjoy the podcast, and we hope to bring you many more episodes!

Today we talk about various games we've been playing, Still Wakes the Deep, Case of the Golden Idol, and games that Duncan and Tom played on the 24 hour stream, like Rocket League.

Also Microsoft have raised the prices of all the Game Pass tiers, and removed the 1st party day one releases from the lower priced tiers.

P.S. Sorry about Duncan's audio echo - Settings changed after the 24hour stream and the recording took the audio from 2 places rather than 1 😞

Gamers often get very angry over a vast variety of gaming subjects, from gaming tropes, to network requirements, to download speeds, but probably the biggest is.....well, you tell us, do you agree with our ones? We get quite animated !

We also revisit sports with Wimbledon starting, talking about Tennis and also golf games. Were you a Virtua Tennis fan? Maybe a Wii Golf aficionado? We barely touch the modern golf games as there's been so many great examples of the genre. Which has been your favourite?
