J’s been busy playing Shining Pearl, and dares to mention that he’s started Godfall (of all games would you believe). Nic went on a bit of a spending spree, and we have a good round of Pixel Perfect to boot.

Nic continues his Final Fantasy gushing whilst J gives some insight into his hype for Pokemon and Elden Ring. Meanwhile, J and Nic debate whether DLC is good or bad, and frankly, it's an interesting conversation. Unfortunately, we had some technical issues this week and we missed a small part of the show, so check out the London Symphony Orchestra and London Voices performing the Skyrim Soundtrack for its 10th anniversary.

J and Nic discuss the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 one year after their launch.

While Nic confesses his love for Final Fantasy XV, and J gives his honest thoughts on the brand spanking new Guardians of the Galaxy, what you should really know from this description is that Guess Who’s Review this week is very controversial.

The TGO Show is back. Nic and J have a lot of catching up to do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Video Game podcast where hosts Nic and J discuss topics old and new, and use the time as 'gaming therapy' to talk about what we need to get off our chests within the gaming industry. Controversial opinions guaranteed, entertainment not.

Written, recorded and produced by NB and J.
