After a week break (because who wanted to talk about the games last week), I bid farewell to Hi-Fi Rush and lament the lack of nurturing from Xbox towards Tango Gameworks. Did the Fallout TV show play a part in all this? Plus Call of Duty and Game Pass = price rises. And I talk a lot about what I've been playing, including my NEW XBOX 360 CONSOLE, and the brilliant Jedi Survivor.

This week I'm joined by podcast veteran and video game writer David Smillie to discuss the the ups and down of UK games retailer GAME. Where did it all go so wrong for what was once the no.1 provider of games on the high street.

The new ALONE IN THE DARK game is here and I've been playing it! Do review scores do more harm than good? Who should you even trust? Does 60fps matter in games, and are microtransactions in Dragon's Dogma 2 as bad as people are making them out to be? Lots to chat about.

Live service is apparently a good thing when it's a cancelled Spider-Man game? Marketing for the Fallout TV show vs the Halo tv show, and some reignited love for one of the GAMES OF THE GENERATION...Starfield.
