Send us Fan Mail Gears of War E-Day finally lands and it does exactly what we hoped: it looks incredible, it feels punchy, and it sends our adrenaline through the roof. We talk through our first hour with the campaign, what works straight away, and why the multiplayer can leave you feeling like you’ve chugged a stack of energy drinks. If you’ve been waiting for a big Xbox Game Pass moment, this is the one we can’t stop thinking about. We also go to the other extreme with Nintendo Switc...

We played Marvels Wolverine so you don't have to
Send us Fan Mail Wolverine has been hyped for years, so when the reviews landed as “mid”, I didn’t want to write it off on hearsay. We’re missing the usual podcast this week because Steve isn’t very well, so I’ve recorded a quick, honest check-in that starts as a Wolverine game review and turns into something bigger: how we buy games, how much risk we accept, and why physical media still matters. I explain why I chose a physical disc over a digital download, how UK pricing can swing between ...

We need to talk about it GTA6
Send us Fan Mail GTA 6 doesn’t just look bigger, it looks smarter. We sit down after the extended look and properly mull over what Rockstar is building, because the footage hints at a game where relationships, systems, and moment-to-moment detail finally feel as important as set-piece missions. Jason and Lucia aren’t just two playable characters you swap between; we talk about how their partnership could shape the story, change how missions play out, and give GTA 6 real replay value through c...

The Future of Xbox: McDonald's Rewards and Digital Ownership
Send us Fan Mail Two hours of wheelspins. A retro Call of Duty campaign that still hits harder than most modern shooters. And a week of news where Xbox turns up with McDonald’s UK rewards, IKEA gaming cushions, and a proper attempt to bridge physical discs with digital ownership. If you like your gaming chat grounded in what people actually play and how they actually live, we’ve got you. We start with what we’ve been playing and why we keep drifting back to “comfy slippers” games when time i...

Sony Refuses to Ditch Physical Games
Send us Fan Mail Your favourite hobby should not feel like a luxury purchase, yet that is exactly where console gaming in the UK seems to be heading. We start with the fun stuff: what we are playing right now, why going back to Final Fantasy X still lands emotionally, and how the PlayStation Portal can actually shine when your home network is set up well. We also talk about the pull of older games, the reality that some classics have not aged gracefully, and why sometimes you just want comfor...

Xbox Layoffs, Halo Cancelled, Game Pass In Crisis?
Send us Fan Mail Watch our First Plays and streams on YouTube - https://linkly.link/2dG8W A single crash shouldn’t be able to erase a week of progress, but that’s exactly what pushes us into a proper rant about Forza Horizon 6. We go from happily “mopping up” online races, rivals, seasonal challenges and car photos to the kind of save sync rollback that makes you question the whole idea of always-online progression. If you’ve ever chased a clean lap, a three-star speed trap, or that one last ...

Easy Mode Is Not Cheating If It Keeps Games Fun
Send us Fan Mail Earn Microsoft Points to spend on Games - https://linkly.link/2gVsi A lighthouse keeper searching for his son, a LEGO Gotham that feels oddly like Arkham, and a game that literally asks you to dig a hole until you hit the surprise at the bottom. That’s the kind of week we’ve had, and it turns into a bigger chat about why “chill gaming” matters when life is busy, hot, and your free time comes in 20-minute slices. We talk about Fortnite’s latest chapter and the reality of stre...

AR Gaming Glasses To Xbox Showcase Highlights
Send us Fan Mail Earn Microsoft Points to spend on Games - https://linkly.link/2gVsi AR glasses that put a “TV” in front of your eyes sound like sci-fi nonsense until you try to picture them on a flight, on a train, or in a hotel room with a handheld. We talk through the ROG X-Real glasses, how they connect over USB-C, what surprised us about using them, and why this kind of portable gaming tech is starting to feel genuinely practical. We also get nerdy about the home setup side, docking a ha...

Will Xbox Finally Deliver? Our Showcase Predictions Party
Send us Fan Mail Send us a question - https://linkly.link/2j1aK Earn Microsoft Points to spend on Games - https://linkly.link/2gVsi Sunday’s Xbox Showcase is looming and we’re not waiting quietly. With Anthony back on the mic for the first time in six years, we turn Episode 183 into a proper pre-show predictions party, but we start with the stuff that actually shapes our weeks: the games we’re playing and why they’re working for us right now. Steve brings Lunar Abyss to the table, a Game Pas...

Mixtape Made Us Cry, Fortnite Droid Tycoon Made Us Angry
Send us Fan Mail Send us a question - https://linkly.link/2j1aK Earn Microsoft Points to spend on Games - https://linkly.link/2gVsi Sound effects have entered the chat, and we are dangerously excited about it. Stuart upgrades the whole recording setup with a Shure SM7B and a Rodecaster Duo, which means cleaner audio, live mixing, and a slightly worrying number of buttons we want to press mid-sentence. From there, we dig into one of the most underrated “gaming budget” tools around: Microsoft ...

We Broke Down What Game Pass is Really Worth
Send us Fan Mail A tiny daily habit can end up paying for your games, and we get specific about how. We’re comparing notes on Microsoft Rewards points, what actually moves the needle, and why a simple routine of Game Pass tasks and Bing dailies can quietly turn into real voucher value over time. If you’ve ever wondered whether the grind is worth it, we break down what we’re seeing in the UK and how it fits into everyday play. Then we get properly stuck into what we’ve been playing. Steve wra...

Proper Indie Gems, Fortnite Duos And Mega Microsoft Reward Points Value
Send us Fan Mail GTA Online still pulling in absurd money more than a decade on should make every gamer pause, because it shapes everything from game budgets to subscription pricing. We start lighter though, jumping back into Fortnite duos for the first time in ages and immediately turning into two blokes chasing quests, rivals points, and a laugh while getting shot at from every angle. It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and a good reminder that gaming feels better when you’re not doing it alone. Then...

Are Consoles Becoming A Luxury Hobby Again - Fortnite Rivals Review
Send us Fan Mail Fortnite has a new obsession, and it’s not just another skin. Rivals mode in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 turns the match into a proper hunt, with mid-game showdowns, new tools for movement, and just enough chaos to make every win feel earned. We talk through what the Rivals mechanic does well, where it could get frustrating, and why it still feels like classic Fortnite even when the pressure ramps up fast. From there, we zoom out to the kind of gaming that fits real li...

If Consoles Become PCs What Do We Lose
Send us Fan Mail Consoles are meant to be simple, so why does the future keep trying to turn them into PCs? We’re back with a proper catch-up on what we’ve been playing and what the latest gaming news says about where everything is headed. From the comfort of replaying Kingdom Hearts to the joy of having games fit around real life, we talk about why convenience is not a gimmick, it’s the whole point. We start with handheld habits and “sofa gaming”, including Ste's renewed love for Play...

We Hit Resume: Fortnite, Game Pass, And The Future Of Xbox
Send us Fan Mail The mics are live again after six years, and the first thing we admit is simple: our gaming lives changed. Kids, night shifts, early mornings, and stolen half‑hours reshaped what feels possible—so we leaned into the games and platforms that fit. Fortnite went from punchline to lifeline, a daily ritual that kept friends talking through lockdown. Game Pass quietly rewired our habits, turning curiosity into a superpower and making cloud sessions on phones, iPads, and laptops fee...
