We're at it again! This time further breaking down the mechanics around narrative in open world games like - Grand Theft Auto, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2 and even MMO's like World of Warcraft! This episode also marks a quality boost where we start using Mics and Mixers like real live professionals... except for David's Rap...Join us won't you?

Join David, Paul, Andrew and Myk as we discuss story vs play in games, how much of a narrative do you need to stay engaged? Games' "illusion of choice" - Do you prefer video games with a defined story and playing through as the protagonist, or would you rather have an impact on the games world? We talk about Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, The Witcher 2, and Daniel Craig.
