Agar.io isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea, but it could be yours! Listen in to find out why!

We're talking this week about what is probably the first ever game that gives a worm a starring role (I haven't checked, don't @ me), Earthworm Jim! Remembered fondly by 90s kids for both the superb Saturday morning cartoon and this game, we're digging it up once more to see how it holds together.

This week, Chris and Ashley actually enjoy playing a game for once when they revisit Road Rash 2, a Sega Mega Drive motorcycle racing game where chains and billy clubs aren't optional and your biggest opponents aren't other racers but the cars careering down the highway behind you.
