How To Murder Time

This week return with another look at the games we’re currently playing. We’re ignoring assassins in favour of being a pirate, wondering why Doctor Who would ever need to match three or more gems in a row and marvelling at the number of bugs in X Rebirth.

This week we’re taking a look at a classic FPS: AvP 2.

Developed by Monolith and released in 2001, it continued the model of the first that let you play through three separate campaigns as the Colonial Marines, Aliens and Predators. The game also had a rather fun multiplayer mode.

Just don’t mention the 2010 version.

This week we’ve been playing games again. I know, big shock.

This may not be a healthy number of gamers for two people to play in a fortnight.

This week we’re discussing what the future holds for games hardware.

What do the next generation of games consoles mean, and will they be a success? Is PC a better bet this time around, and what is Valve playing at with the Steam Box? Does anybody even want a PC under their TV?

This week we’ve talking about what we’ve been playing for the last couple of weeks:Batman: Arkham Origins

The Stanley Parable

Batman: Arkham Origins

Kerbal Space Program Career Mode

Planetside 2

Path of Exile

This week we’re looking back at the current console generation and trying to work out if the exclusives alone justified buying one console or the other based on personal experiences playing these games. How good does a game have to be to justify a whole platform, and what have been the highlights of this generation?

This week we’re talking about more games.

Beyond: Two Souls and delivering babies,

Guns of Icarus Online,

GTA V,

There was also a meet up in London around Eurogamer that meant that more beer was drunk than episodes recorded so we took last week off. I’d say sorry, but I had a brilliant steak in the other pub that didn’t throw us out for hogging the whole dinning area for the entire day. I’m shallow like that.

This week we’re taking questions from the audience, so tune it to hear us talk about boss fights, toolbar less MMOs, and other gaming topics.

This week we’re back in the studio and chatting about games again.

This time we’re talking about:

Godus

Guild Wars
