In which we are down a man. We soldier on - Chris and Tom S through the ravaged futures envisioned by Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4; and Marsh through the, ahem, “metaphorical jazz space” of brilliant indie game Gorogoa.

In which livers weep. Tom S is underwhelmed by Batman: Arkham Origins and no amount of bat-glue will convince him otherwise. Meanwhile, Graham gets suckered by Football Manager 2014 and Tom F battles unspeakable blasphemies in Eldritch.

In which we get our criticisms of Steam Early Access in early, before Marsh clambers atop the Nuclear Throne, Tom Senior tells them to eat cake in Democracy 3, Chris fights the forces of darkness in Eldritch, and Graham tries to count to 140.

In which Chris explains why space vampires hate trigonometry. Also: Tom F returns from lands afar with tales of Towerfall, Samurai Gunn and Quadrilateral Cowboy, while Graham and Marsh find The Wolf Among Us fittingly fabulous in every sense.

In which Marsh lovingly admires his gun in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Tom S vaults theatrically over objects while being concerned by the new Thief. Plus, Chris explains indie first-person Lovecraftian roguelike voxel thing Eldritch.

Also discussed: micro versus macro strategy games, the upside to the bad interface in FIFA Ultimate Team, game development superteams, and whether trucks can switch places with their twins from the mirror universe.

In which winged beasts rule. Ka-kaw! Chris explains why ladybirds are more exciting than Battlefield 4’s skyscrapers and Tom S yearns to palpate Gabe Newell’s Power Owl. Also discussed: Cardhunter and homoerotic spooning simulator, FIFA 14.

In which we just can’t wait - neither for Valve’s Steambox reveal nor GTA V’s PC release. We contain premature opinions and they must be freed. Tom F’s crime spree continues in Monaco and Tom S plays with himself in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

In which there is a good deal of clicking - for the glory of the empire in Rome 2 and to no obvious end in Godus. Tom S hones his zombie-disassembly arsenal in Dead Space 3 and Graham uses Skullgirls to discover the best way to punch a nun.

In which gimlets are too sweet, the weaknesses of real life's reward mechanisms are exposed, and questions from questions undergoes total logistical collapse. Plus Zafehouse Diaries, MirrorMoon EP, Transistor, Super Hot, and other such videogames.

In which Tom Senior lets slip the dogs of Total War: Rome 2. Marsh and Chris take to the skies in Ace Patrol and Graham brings them safely back down again thanks to X-Plane, with nary a duck embedded in their faces. Then we all Go(ne) Home.
