Matthew is away, lying in a hot tub in Scotland somewhere! So, this week Samuel is paired up with his former gamesTM colleague and draft menace Dave Scarborough. You get 45 minutes of magazine memories, then around 80 minutes on the history of Ghostbusters in games (spoiler alert: many of them are rubbish).

Apologies for the slight headphone bleed you'll hear in this episode – our audio engineer, Matthew Castle, is away this week as mentioned (AKA the 'Samuel did his best' excuse).

This week's music is from the Ghostbusters for Master System soundtrack by Tohru Nakabayashi, as well as Ray Parker Jr. and Neil Cicierega.

The main event of the Switch 2's post-launch period is here. But does it have the juice, the sauce or the gravy?

Former gamesTM features editor Matt Handrahan is our guest this week. Having spent a decade working on GamesIndustry.biz, he's now Portfolio Director at Kepler Interactive.

The most recent game he worked on? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which you might have heard of. This episode, though, gets into the far more important business of discussing the price of pints in Bournemouth's Sixty Million Postcards pub circa 2007.

Finally, after a belated PS5 release, we dive deep into MachineGames' 2024 GOTY contender Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The first half is spoiler-free, then the second half goes deeper into the story with some fun bonus nonsense to boot (wait until you hear Matthew's pitch for The Fugitive tie-in game).

This week's music is from the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle soundtrack by Gordy Haab.

A new Nintendo console is here. Matthew is truly submerged in the Switch 2 experience, while Samuel has merely dipped a toe in the water. Here's how we're finding it so far.
