Pure Dead Gaming

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

Andy is now at the stage where he opens his dashboard, sees a game installed, and has absolutely no memory of where it came from.

Meanwhile, Craig spends the week bouncing between one of the year's best surprises in Silver Pines and one of the most disturbing gaming experiences imaginable in Hellraiser. Throw in Castlevania, Star Wars racing, narrative time loops, FIFA frustrations and an October release calendar that looks genuinely irresponsible, and you've got another packed week in gaming.

This Week on Pure Dead Gaming  

From the humble beginnings of dodgy mic setups and midnight editing… to the big 300. 

We’ve survived console wars, game delays. We’ve laughed, we’ve argued, we’ve reviewed games that probably didn’t deserve it and somehow, we’re still here and not going anywhere. 

As is typical for us, nothing special is in store for this episode so expect the usual what we’ve been playing, new releases and news.
