Two great games were released last week in Ni No Kuni 2 and A Way Out. Dylan, Ciaran and Ash break down the good and the bad of both of them. From Ni No Kuni's voice acting issues to A Way Out's weird breaking of the fourth wall through gameplay.

Far Cry 5 is also out this week and the boys discuss why none of them care to play it at all.

Battlefront 2 makes it back on the show with EA and Dice recently revealing the new and update system for microtransactions.

In #everytrophycounts it looks like A Way Out is a very easy platinum and Dylan breaks down the two plats he achieved this past week.

Ciaran & Nick take the reigns to walk you through the PlayStation world as Dylan takes a week off.

Somehow, without much planning, they go through gaming soundtracks; the busy end of march gaming; and ponder the question: which gaming troupe would you delete from history?

It’s revenge of the nerds this week as Dylan, Ciaran and Nick fight back against President Trump and his attempts to swing the gun debate to video games.

Also crashing into the news was more eSports being crapped on by typical Australian news programs, God of War getting a limited edition console and Nintendo stealing the bandicoot.

Mafia 3 developer Hanger 13 has let go some of its staff -- does this bode well for 2K and the future of the Mafia franchise? Dylan discusses the franchise with Ciaran and Ashley this week on an episode that, admittedly, is not as professional as last week.

The biggest news of the week is, of course, the PSA necessary about those PlayStation (or so we thought) figure. Plus a little game called Spyro The Dragon could be making a fiery entrance back into homes later this year.

JPaul James from Player2.net.au joins Dylan and Ciaran to talk about traditional games media VS new media,  along with his history getting into the 'industry’.

Kingdom Hearts 3 dropped a new trailer this week for the guys to geek out over, or rage over, depending on if you think its convoluted story is acceptable. Speaking of acceptable, Dylan has issues with the discovered Shadow of the Colossus secret room, and the AUS government's continued lack of indie game funding -- even with South Australia's recent $2 million funding to its local industry.
