All that plus Sean threatening people, more washing up debates, Christmas decoration compromises, and more.

James is back! But David’s away as he’s taking a much deserved break.

Fear not, because there’s plenty to cover including the Xbox and PS5 reviews, tons of feedback, Mass Effect trilogy remasters, Sega selling off its arcade business, ridiculous outfits and turning classic Christmas tales into video games.

It’s worth noting that we recorded this episode on Monday, a day before the Xbox launch, so no new console impressions this week. Come back next week for those hot takes.

Games discussed: FIFA 21, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Super Mario Bros. 2, South of the Circle, Knack 2.
