[In far too loud and inaccurate Borat voice]: MYYY CROSOFT. This week the boys have a chat over X018 and speculate about what the Xbox's continued pattern of seemingly smart business moves could mean for the future of video games as a whole. Also we talk Red Dead some more because of course we do.

Episode 158: Red Dead Redemption 2 Review Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

What's sure to be the biggest game of the year is out this week, and Tommy, Ben and Adam have a lengthy, SPOILER FREE talk about it. It's a massive, fascinating and expensive-looking-as-hell game, but it's also got an idiosyncratic streak that the boys are here to dissect. Also the PlayStation Classic games lineup got announced, but Red Dead is out and come on. Of course the episode was going to be that.

Episode 157: Soulcalibur VI Review, Return of the Obra Dinn Review Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

A tales of podcasters and microphones, eternally retold. This week Tommy, Ben and Adam have mysteries aplenty: Tommy tackles the bizarre world of Undertale, Ben steps aboard the intriguing Return of the Obra Dinn and Adam wonders how many Sonic the Hedgehog custom characters he's going to fight online in Soulcalibur VI. What's that I hear a clip-clopping in the distance? Sounds like a horse? Surely this horse and whoever's riding it couldn't be coming to trample all over next week's episode? Woah there, cowboy! What in tarnation does "big-ass Red Dead Redemption 2 episode next week" mean?

Episode 156: Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Review, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission Review Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Three podcast hosts are dropped onto an island, only one can remain to review the new Call of Duty game. Has the gambit of eliminating the traditional single-player campaign in favour of a CoD take on the Battle Royale mode? The answer is yes. There's more detail in the show but if you're in the habit of getting your reviews exclusively from podcast descriptions then there you go. We also fawn over the amazing new PSVR showpiece and all around great game Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. It's a fun week of good games, what a time to be alive. Now to shorten that life with 600 Whoppers and Call of Duty codes.

Show notes

The boys are joined once again by one of their favourites Kate Dehnert to provide possibly the most in-depth review of Super Mario Party that anybody has bothered to do yet (citation needed), as well as first impression's of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, talk Knox's new Xbox One X, frank discussions on car anatomy and much, much more.

Episode 154: Harry Potter Game Leaked?!?! Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

It's the beginning of a brand new term at Hogfilthy Casualswarts (an extremely clever name that I spent ages coming up with), and three muggles named Tommy, Ben and Adam are here to talk about how they wasted their term break. News of wizards, cowboys, cult leaders and streaming services are covered this week before we dive into the roughly two thousand games that are releasing over the next few weeks. For the record, Tommy is a Hufflepuff, Ben is a Slytherin and Adam is a mix of Gryffindor and a fifth secret house that is only for people who made the Sorting Hat horny.
