In this latest episode of Maximum Power Up, hosts Phil, Jake and Amy get together to show the Nintendo Wii U, a criminally undervalued system, some much needed love & try and convince those who may have dismissed the system a second look before the NX arrives. Many have been put off by the Gamepad, which initially confused consumers on what it actually was. Many thought that it was a new controller for the Wii instead of actually being a brand new system. However for many games that have used the Gamepad, it is one of the best peripherals that have been released for any system, opening up so many avenues for creative ways to interact with many of the games aiding to give the titles a much more immersive experience. Arguably the Wii U has the very best of exclusive titles available on any system today. We discuss some of these fantastic games available that make this console a must own for anyone who appreciates well creative and well crafted gaming experiences.

Valve is one of the most well-known and respected developers around today, and their first game, Half-Life spawned one of gaming’s biggest franchises. When it hit the PC in 1998, Half-Life wowed critics and went on to become one of the most popular first person shooters ever released for both PC and console. A seamless mix of first person shooting action and science fiction storytelling, the adventure catapulted Gordon Freeman into the limelight and cemented Valve as a force to be reckoned with. The success of Half-Life lead to a sequel and spin offs on both PC and console, as well as the development of brain teasing, dystopian puzzlers Portal and Portal 2 – a series which has also been blessed with a whole lexicon of lore and internet memes. In this latest episode of Maximum Power Up, hosts Phil and Tom get together to discuss their first encounters with Gordon Freeman’s HEV suit, the famous crowbar, Black Mesa, the Combine, the G-Man, the portal gun and whether the cake really is a lie. It’s time to suit up, and blast through the infested sewers of City 17 and the mind-bending Aperture Science Labs as Maximum Power Up looks at the awesome Half-Life and Portal series.

For many retro gamers, the 90s was a wonderful era packed to the brim with exciting new developments and technological advancements. Despite the rise of the Internet and other forms of getting our gaming fix delivered daily, one dedicated service we all know and loved remained on the most basic form of communication still around - Teletext. Digitiser was ‘The World’s Only Daily Game Magazine’ and one that wasn’t afraid to push the boundaries every 24 hours.

During the earlier years of the video game industry, companies such as Sega and Nintendo trialled various methods of keeping their dating hardware alive. Instead of releasing new consoles and casting away the old, the latest technology was often crammed into add-ons and expansions to gift older systems an added boost of power. Although seeming like the perfect solution on paper, these enhancements didn't always turn out as planned.

Growing up we all dreamed of the day arcade-perfect gameplay would arrive at home. While it may have hit our living rooms much earlier than expected, the journey there left behind a shed-load of tragic ports and attempts to re-create the coin-op magic.

Having recently celebrated its birthday in style, the Sega Dreamcast is still fondly remembered by us all as the system that left us too early. Despite packing plenty of promise and potential for the future, Sega pulled the plug early on what they deemed was doomed by the imminent release of the PlayStation 2. With a plethora of nostalgia at the ready, it’s time for RetroCollect FM to discuss the 128-bit wonder.

By 1989 the entire world was shellshocked into Turtle Fever. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had reached the masses through radical action figures, awesome cartoon action, and of course the wicked on-going comic. Next on the on the half-shelled reptiles' plans for world domination was video games - something they most definately exc-shelled in.

In November 1992 a brand new video game magazine was born that set out to do things differently. Super Play wasn't your average publication but instead a glorification of gaming culture from the Far East. With countless gamers inspired by its pages, we caught up with the magazine's prolific artist and contributor - Wil Overton.

In 1991 Mega Drive owners found themselves gripping the ignition in one hand and smashing their nearest rivals into incoming traffic with the other. Road Rash was one of the most brutal titles to hit Sega's console, and one which has left a lasting impression, imprint - and whip mark - on all of us. Despite seeming so popular in our younger days, Road Rash has since burnt out and left behind countless gamers itching for more. With a massive 11 years since a new release in the series, the RetroCollect FM hosts Chris, Tom, Katsu and Adam pull up at the nearest biker bar to discuss Road Rash's violent past.

With the World Cup about to get underway, we decided to up our podcast game and slide tackle the topic of classic football video games. Starting out in the lowly 8-bit league, listen to our rise to the top as we thrash the big boys - FIFA, Pro Evo and Sensible Soccer - and every other mid-table player in between.

Stepping aside from our usual duties of discussing set topics, the hosts behind this week's RetroCollect FM episode start the first of a new series. Re-Quest is your chance to put forward a question to the #RCFM team through Facebook, Twitter or the RetroCollect Forums, which will be answered on air. With plenty of queries already submitted, Chris, Tom and Katsu had more than enough to be discussing and debating.

In 1996 video gamers were abruptly thrown into the depths of a global epidemic, one which broke out from the depths of a underground research lab. Not only did we find ourselves fending off an onslaught of zombies, but also the difficult task of juggling ammunition, medical supplies and just about everything else we needed to ensure safety. This new form of terror was here by known as, Resident Evil!

So the 64-bit beast known as the Atari Jaguar might not have the best rap, but why is that? After sitting down with one of the biggest Atari nuts in the UK, RetroCollect discuss what went wrong with the Jaguar and why it should actually be given a fair trial in the gaming world.

It's late into 1988 and the gaming landscape as we know it is about to change - cast aside your Nintendo NES as the 16-bit-era has arrived! Join the RetroCollect FM Podcast as they head back in time to discuss the early years of the Sega Mega Drive and all the greats the system saw.

Put 'em up - it's time to fight with the RetroCollect FM Podcast! In our usual fashion the team decided to sit down and duke it out over the history of the Iron Fist Tournament - discussing the highs and lows of the Tekken franchise, the greatest combatants, and its more bizarre bowling offerings.

Building upon our last interview episode the RetroCollect FM Podcast has lured into the studio another influential gaming hero. This time round we're going modern into the realms of neo-retro by sitting down with the director of Roll7, the team behind the PS VIta hit OlliOlli, discussing everything from skateboarding classics to Barcode Battlers.

After a long hiatus, the RetroCollect FM Podcast has exploded back onto the airwaves in style. With several months of topics building up and plenty to discuss, the team decided to sit down and blast through the one and only Bomberman - discussing the highs, lows and kangaroos of the series we all know and love.

In an attempt to round off our coverage of the 32-bit systems on our retro gaming podcast, the RetroCollect Squad delve into the retro gaming juggernaut known as the PlayStation. With an incredibly rich history behind it and a plethora of memories to discuss, our hosts get caught up in Sony's earlier days and their iconic titles.

Taking a short break before we upload our next full feature episode, RetroCollect's Karl and Adam take twenty minutes to discuss past and upcoming retro gaming events. With plenty to talk about after Revival 2013, our two hosts end up anticipating NERG and Play Expo whilst discussing the state of British retro gaming events.

With the arrival of several classic Disney video games due for HD-resurrections, the RetroCollect Squad - Chris and co-hosts Adam and Karl - are back to discuss these magical titles, alongside our knowledgeable addition to the podcasting team, Mike. While we might not agree on what the best titles from the magic kingdom actually are, we're all left reminiscing on a bygone time when those twinkly on-screen moments translated beautifully into video game form.

Giving our vocal chords yet another rest, this week we leave the talking up to our special guest; Just Add Water's Stewart Gilray. Having worked on countless titles from the Commodore Amiga all the way up to the more recent modern Oddworld titles, Stewart gets nostalgic about his past and present with RetroCollect FM's hosts, Chris and Adam.

In an attempt to rest our vocal chords between our usual lengthy discussions, RetroCollect FM's host Chris and co-host Karl sit down to discuss what's been happening in the retro gaming world. With the likes of the recent Resident Evil 1.5 leak and the unfortunate passing of Kenji Eno, hear our take on the latest retro news.

Having enjoyed the winter break a little too much, the RetroCollect FM team - Chris and co-hosts Adam and Karl - are back to debate another retro gaming console. With plenty of games worth shouting about, join us as we talk about the loveable catastrophe that is the Sega Saturn, alongside the bizarre plans its Japanese creator carried out for the launch of the 32-bit system.

With Christmas just around the corner, the RetroCollect Squad mingle around a warm crackly fire to discuss their pixellated pasts.RetroCollect FM's host Chris admits to several things Santa would never approve of, whilst co-hosts, Adam and Karl (who are not on the naughty list), discuss their favourite festive games and the many happy memories from Decembers long ago.

RetroCollect FM's host Chris and co-hosts Adam and Karl return once again to tackle the much delayed, yet much loved Nintendo 64. Tackling fanboy-ism head on, the trio not only praise the 64-bit system, but also question many of Nintendo's confusing practices of the late 90s...

Join RetroCollect FM's host Chris and co-hosts Adam and Karl as they travel down the troublesome memory lane that is the inevitable war between Sega & Nintendo. Needless to say fanboy-ism arises and much debate enrages as we start a war of our own - one which may never be settled...

This week we are joined by our new co-host Garry (Facebook and Retro Collect), Chris from Episode 1 (http://www.youtube.com/user/CJTReviews) and our guest Warren (http://www.wg-designs.com/). Our topic for the week is pre-owned games and their future, also there's a talk about the end of the world (nothing too serious).
