A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... two little cunnies watched a presentation on Netflix about an incredibly anticipated game and then recorded a podcast about it.

The missions, the pacing, the graphics and some more speculation about what we could be seeing down the line! PLUS we've both taken on the tactical combat of Star Wars: Zero Company!

One of the big news stories of this week is that a pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced - just in case you were skeptical about this game being one of the biggest launches of anything ever. Speaking of launches, Xbox has launched another new round of studio closures which obviously sucks! On a more positive note, we've checked out a bunch of fun and creative new demos as part of Steam Next Fest, and Square's new action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
