In this month's episode:

• We turn our hands to train-based trickery in post-apocalyptic Japan, and dabble in a little piracy.

• James heads back to hell in Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga, stares into the face of a real life volcano and sets up shop as a pizza, console and weird goo-seller; and
• Giles discovers The Truth in an uncharacteristic bit of culture and ponders if nostalgia is as good as it used to be with Halo Campaign Evolved.

plus:

• everything else we've been doing and playing - all on September's Aches & Games.
