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.
