The Boss Wave Podcast

This week Nat couldn't make it so Chris and Rob are joined by Seth McNitt to once again spend far to long talking about games. This time we are going over our most anticipated games to be released in 2016.

Games played and discussed this week include absolutely nothing as we didn't have any time after talking about all the games we are looking forward to in 2016 that will almost inevitably be delayed until 2017.

This week Chris, Rob and Nat are joined in a ridiculously long show by Gary Leavor from The Gamesmen podcast to perform the yearly tradition of making up for there being no news by just listing all the good stuff that came out during the year. What little news that did come out over the previous week also gets a good discussing.

Games played and discussed this week include Transformers: Devastation, Life is Strange, Trine 3, Bastion, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, Tales from the Borderlands, Steamworld Dig, Yakuza 5, Mushroom 11, Her Story, Rocket League and Xenoblade Chronicles X as well as pretty much every decent game that came out over the last year.

WARNING – There be Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers at the end of the show so make sure you are ready to switch off if you don’t want to hear them.

This week Chris, Rob and Nat celebrate the rapidly encroaching day of Christmas by discussing what games they’ve been playing along with The Overseas Connection’s Robin “Bongo the Sane(ta Claus)” Tate and Boss Wave’s erstwhile leader Seth “The Pumpkin (Spice Latte) King” McNitt. In keeping with the season the guys also discuss the merits (or not) of a list of ‘Christmas Games’ that Chris found somewhere within the depths of the internet and what games should have been on a more competent version of that list.

Games played and discussed this week include Ape Escape 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Transformers Devastation, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, Gems of War, Tales from the Borderlands, Ark: Survival Evolved, Fallout 4, Xeodrifter, Batman: Arkham Knight, Gauntlet, The Last of Us, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Lara Croft Go.
