NOW it's time to get our E3 on. As is traditional for the SaladCast the team takes you through the twists and turns of the press conferences in the order news broke. As the title suggests Microsoft kicks things off and then the big publishers follow.

In this part we talk about Xbox One DRM, Metal Gear Solid 5, a new Xbox 360, World of Tanks, RYSE, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Forza 5, Minecraft, Quantum Break, Project Spark, Crimson Dragon, Dead Rising 3, Battlefield 4, Titanfall, Need For Speed: The Rivals, EA Sports, Mirror’s Edge 2, Watchdogs, Assassin’s Creed 4 and The Division.

E3 may have happened but we still played games in the last two weeks. Join us for our regularly scheduled podcast in Part 1 of 3 E3 episodes.

In this part we talk about Half Minute Hero, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Catherine, Bioshock: Infinite, Kerbal Space Program and Animal Crossing: A New Leaf.

Why is it considered such a British thing to talk about the weather? Is it that it's more unpredictable in this country or is there some deep seated fear in all of us that suddenly all of the world’s worst weather will arrive and tear up our small land mass? Either way, Zac thinks it’s been hotter so far and does not approve.

This week we tear apart what little we know about the XBOX ONE and how little Microsoft know about good PR. There’s also Catherine, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Crysis Warhead, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Sonic Lost World.

As we draw ever closer to the "reveal season" some news just can't contain itself and slips free. This way it gives us something to talk about before the noise of E3. The games are coming and we must be ready for them.

This week there’s DmC, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (and whether or not it’s racist), Bioshock Infinite, EA and Star Wars, Gran Turismo 6, Burnout Paradise, Star Trek, Half Minute Hero and Crysis Warhead.

Greece should have won Eurovision clearly.

Zac fans rejoice! Zac has a whole lot to say this week as he spends some serious time with the 3DS. Dan and Rob are here too but take up the role of his personal trainers, handing him towels and refilling the IV of Mountain Dew.

This week there's Luigi’s Mansion 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Fire Emblem, Devil May Cry, EVE Online, the sounds that iPhones make, Wii U and piracy.

The episode of the SaladCast is brought to you be the letter Z.

The return of the sun brings some danger with it. Some people may try and convince you that there's a better world out there in the light. All you will find is MORE world. It’s like a disappointing RPG. Count on the SaladCast to provide you with useful public service information.

This week there’s Nintendo Direct news, Zac getting a 3DS, Spec Ops: The Line, Kerbal Space Program, Sim Farm, Injustice, children with footballs, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, the Tog scale, Burnout Paradise, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, Bioshock Infinite and more.

Everyone needs to get piz’d.

In the wake of the PS4 reveal GDC doesn't have the same gravitas of previous years for video game news. In reality this event isn’t really for us consumers, it’s for the developers. It’s in the name... So while we hold on for E3 we’ll just keep doing what we do: playing games and talking rubbish.

This week we talk about Lucas Arts and their work, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Bioshock Infinite, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, new Metal Gear Solid, DiRT 2 and 3, Bit Trip Runner 2, SONY hardware and more.

Several weeks without a takeaway pizza leave Rob struggling to form his sentences with the correct words this week. Don't worry though, Zac and Dan are quick to correct him... every time.

This week we talk about Thief, XCOM, Flatout, SimCity, DOA5, F1 Race Stars, TimeSplitters Rewind, KotOR 2, Torchlight 2 and more!

Season 4 is here! It's been three whole years since Happysalad came back from the dead in the form of the SaladCast. This shambling corpse of a podcast has no signs of being stopped. It doesn’t go outside and there are no plants indoors to thwart it!

This week we talk about really old school games, Soul Calibur V, Halo 4, Mark of the Ninja, BIT.TRIP Runner 2, Deadpool, Guild Wars 2, Gratuitous Space Battles and inevitably SimCity.

To absolutely nobody's surprise the Playstation 4 was revealed this week. The team discuss the finer points of the "meeting" and attempt to project what this may mean for the industry.

Also mentioned are XCOM, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, DmC, Planetside 2, Braid, Outwitters, KoTOR 2, Torchlight 2 and Sonic 4.

Also, large volumes of cheese may affect your dreams.
