It is with a heavy heart that all mediocre things must come to pass. Unfortunately, this will be our final episode. Life sometimes gets in the way of a good time, and episode 172 seemed a fitting number to end it on... But at least we have one last recap to do after last week's Sony State of Play! Thanks to everyone that has listened over the past 3 years. We really do appreciate it, else we would have given up a long time ago. Take care of yourselves and much love. GG.

It's a Ben and Eddy pod as Pete is off.  Managed to keep the train on the tracks though, not to worry. Our features talks about the big games coming over the next few months. What We've Been Playing: Palworld FF7 Remake

Palworld has taken the world by storm, let's talk about it! We've played the new Tarkov map, Prince of Persia and the LOU2's No Return mode. Our feature recaps the Xbox Developer Direct.

Still waiting on the big news of the year to start coming in, but at least week have Xbox's Developer Direct this week to keep us going: What We've Been Playing: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Prince of Persia: Lost Crown VR Golf

The 3 of us are back together for the first time in 2024. Still a slow news week but at least we have new releases! We also discuss our most anticipated games of 2024. What We've Been Playing: Ghosts of Tabor Against the Storm 

2 person pod yet again, but don't worry, Eddy and Ben will welcome you into the new year!

It's our GOTY show and we're joined by Punk to see through deciding the completely objective, absolute, best game of the year!

Punk joins us in the first of two GOTY related episodes. We run through the top rated games per Metacritic in 2023, ignoring those that feature in our GOTY selections, which we'll reveal at the end of the episode. Next week marks our GOTY episode, where we will discover the completely objective, number one game of 2023!

Back to a 3 person strong team, but will we learn why Pete was playing Stellaris rather than on the podcast last week? Don't bet on it. We have breaking news on the pod, with instance reactions to The Day Before shut down. Pete's played multiple news games and we recap The Game Awards 2023: What We've Been Playing: Cocoon TW: Three Kingdoms COD Warzone Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Back to a 2 person episode with Ben and Eddy. We discuss the highly hyped GTA 6 trailer and what Phil Spencer has had to say on Xbox. Our feature talks about disappointing game sequels. What We've Been Playing: Stranded: Alien Dawn Alienation Alan Wake 2

There's more advertising in gaming, PlayStation pricing comes under fire and Call of Duty's next campaign could be an improvement. Also, does the Xbox Tax really exist? We discuss the facts and where the idea comes from in our feature. What We've Been Playing: Anvil Saga Robocop: Rogue City Alan Wake 2 Rimworld
