  • We played Marvels Wolverine so you don't have to
    2026/09/17

    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 Amazon UK and PlayStation Direct, and why resale value changes the psychology of spending £70 on a new release. If I can finish a game and sell it on, I’m more willing to take a punt. If discs disappear and we head towards a digital-only future, I’m far less likely to gamble on anything with mixed word of mouth, even when I really want to love it.

    Then we get into the gameplay. The controller feels great and the visuals are solid, but playing Spider-Man on a PS5 Pro right before Wolverine makes the gaps hard to ignore. I talk about the “rails” feeling, the sense that it could have been more open, and why the combat leans into button mashing with forgiving inputs that reduce challenge and consequence. I’m uploading the full playthrough to YouTube in bite-sized parts, so you can see exactly what I mean before you spend your money.

    If you’ve played Wolverine, I want your take. Subscribe, share the episode with a mate who’s on the fence, and leave a review to help more UK gamers find us, then drop a comment with your verdict: physical disc or digital download?

  • We need to talk about GTA VI
    2026/09/07

    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 choices that actually matter.

    Before we get there, we catch up on what we’ve been playing and testing across PlayStation and Xbox: trying PlayStation Plus for the month, bouncing off Big Walk when we realise it’s designed around co-op voice chat, poking at Fortnite’s new gaming-themed season, and jumping into Robocop on Game Pass. We also chat about the Call of Duty beta, why it’s tempting, and why it still struggles to win a day-one purchase when GTA is on the horizon. There’s also a quick look at a new A Plague Tale prequel that leans into Tomb Raider-style traversal and cinematic adventure.

    Then it’s full GTA 6 deep dive: a more reactive Vice City, better animations and gunplay, smarter police with witnesses and disguises, richer interiors, and the “everyday life” layer like clothes, fitness, cash vs bank, and vehicle storage that could make the world feel lived in. We also debate the big practical question: do you buy GTA 6 on Xbox for achievements and your existing ecosystem, or on PS5 Pro for the best performance?

    Subscribe, share the episode with a mate who’s counting the days to GTA 6, and leave us a review. What do you think: will GTA 6 change what we expect from open world games?

  • The Future of Xbox: McDonald's Rewards and Digital Ownership
    2026/08/31

    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 is tight. Stephen revisits Call of Duty World at War for its gritty World War II atmosphere, then surprises himself by finishing Watch Dogs and finding its hacking and surveillance story more relevant in today’s AI and tracking-heavy world. We also talk about when games lose us, from Darksiders boredom to Planet Crafter’s cryptic progression, and why good guidance is not a dirty word.

    From there we jump into the good stuff: the Gears E-Day beta and how co-op design can feel fresh again, plus Stuart’s deep dive into Forza Horizon 6 as a living, breathing social platform complete with auctions, community creations, and an absolutely ridiculous wheelspin marathon. Then it’s Gamescom highlights, the PS3 price spikes, and the bigger question hanging over everything: are we buying games or renting licences?

    Hit subscribe for more weekly gaming talk, share this with a mate who still loves older games, and leave us a review with the one game you always return to when you just want to switch off.
