The Boss Wave Podcast

This week our leader Chris is once again missing so Nat takes over hosting duties, ably supported by Rob and Mark to discuss all things gaming. Topics discussed include: E3 news clear-up, Ubisoft dropping towers for Watch Dogs 2, The Last Guardian previews, Mighty No.9 reviews, the Neo will apparently not shorten the PS4 life-cycle and Warcraft becoming the highest grossing video game film adaptation. We also discover that Mark's love of the Sony console has grown so strong that he has destroyed all the microphones that he owns except for his PS4 mic (which is his current excuse for the further decrease in his audio quality).

Games played and discussed this week include: The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Diablo 3, Vanquish, Pokemon Shuffle, Quantum Break, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
