POPULARITY
The title is Buddy Holly, the star is David Essex, and the mood is pure Edward Heath. Claude Whatham's 1973 coming-of-age film might be set in the 1950s but it's really an artefact of Britain's long post-60s comedown, bleak, pessimistic and extremely brown. Remarkably, this tale of a wannabe rock star shrugging and screwing his way through a drizzly holiday camp made Essex a teen idol, and it has a slew of '50s and '60s stars supporting him: Keith Moon, Billy Fury and, as his sleazy mentor, no less a figure than Ringo Starr. In this week's Pop Screen, Graham and Mark discuss the oft-underrated acting talents of the one-time Richard Starkey, as well as all the other issues the film brings up: the surprisingly durable stage and screen career of David Essex, the round of musical chairs that led to this being directed by the rock-sceptic Whatham, and the film's connections to the life of John Lennon. About the only thing we don't cover is the sequel, Stardust, because... ...that's our Patreon exclusive (https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow) for next month, so if you want to be listening to that next week you know where to go.

This week's episode of Pop Screen is about Lorene Scafaria's Hustlers, a film whose tonal balancing act is as precarious as Jennifer Lopez's gravity-defying pole dance. A feminist movie set at a strip club, a warm-hearted caper comedy about sexual exploitation and the credit crunch, a serious crime drama with a festival's worth of pop star cameos... can anyone pull this risky job off? Join Graham and Sarah as they discuss the film's complex feminist credentials, the musical careers of Lopez, Lizzo and Cardi B, and Scafaria's status as a potential queen of the rom-com in a Hollywood age that doesn't care for them. We also do a quiz based on Jennifer Lopez's infamous 1998 Moveline interview, so it's not all heavyweight discussion.

This week's Pop Screen is about Silibil & Brains - and if your reaction was "Who the hell are Silibil & Brains"?, allow Jeanie Finlay's fascinating 2013 documentary The Great Hip Hop Hoax to explain. Finding themselves shut out of the rap industry for their Dundee origins, they decided to pretend they were from California. Ridiculously enough, it worked, and they were groomed for stardom until, inevitably, things started to unravel. This week's guest host is Andrew Young from Behold! (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behold/id1508115927) podcast, helping Graham to unpick the intricacies of a story that has so much to say about the music world's quest for marketable authenticity at the expense of actual truth, as well as a time capsule of the post-Eminem early 2000s pop landscape. It is also a story that is really, really dumb.

Absolute Beginners! If you were part of the British film scene in the mid-80s, you knew it as the coolest project in development: a lavish, experimental musical from punk director Julien Temple, adapted from Colin MacInnes's cult novel, with a cast including Patsy Kensit, Sade, Edward Tudor-Pole, Bruno from Strictly and - standing atop the film as though it were a giant globe - David Bowie. Then the film came out, and nobody went to see it. A film made in the 80s about the 50s with stars from all decades, it confused people at the time, but has since amassed a noteworthy cult following. This week on Pop Screen, Graham and Mick reassess Temple's epic folly, asking: is it that bad? Which of its stars escape with their dignity intact? And have you, or anyone else you know, ever had it blue? Sadly, the days when creative young men could live in a squat with a troupe of tap-dancing jazzbos has passed. Today, you need money to survive, and if you give a little to our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow) you get a lot, including one exclusive Pop Screen episode per month.

So 2020 is over, but thanks to some cunning and stealthy arrangements our cultural anarchists hid away a couple of episodes. This time around we have tales of a secret but obvious message left by a librarian, an art dealer’s racist selfies, a scholar who lied about their race, a painter’s untrue memoirs, a fake Rembrandt painting that isn’t fake and all sorts of other stuff. We also have a quiz about badly translated quotes. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

Strap in and get ready for a wild ride, because this week on Pop Screen Graham and Mark are explaining Holy Motors. No false advertising, no ironic trickery - we guarantee that a viable interpretation of Leos Carax's infamous 2012 head-scrambler will be posited as we travel through each of the bizarre tasks imposed upon M. Oscar (a truly phenomenal Denis Lavant). And where does all that leave us? It leaves us with a heartfelt appreciation of the life and screen career of Kylie Minogue, as it should do. Come for the impenetrable arthouse, stay for the mainstream pop! Yes, this would probably have been more commercial if we did it the other way round.

When it comes to comic-book characters there are few that are as weird as Marvel's chompy tentacle monster known as Venom. But where does the symbiotic goop that makes up Venom come from? Why is it obsessed with Spider-Man? Why is there a bizarre ménage-a-trois between Flash Thomson, Eddie Brock and a mysterious other being? Find out the answers to these and other questions you never asked in our beginner's guide to Venom!

The cultural anarchists venture forth across pandemic-riddled wastelands in their quest to find something good to read, and along the way they find strange tidings that include tales of someone doing something nice on Twitter, Logjam Day, re-issuing books under their author’s original pen-names, stage performances on Zoom, lectures from bubble-blowing sharks and more.

Cultural anarchy is the order of the day as the Literary Loitering gang sashay back into the foreground with a pocket full of news and other oddities. On this episode we've got dead language confusion involving the tag line of Sean Hannity's new book, John Boyne's surprising connection to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, publishing contracts for four year-old poets, controversy about Flashing Swords that doesn't involve trench coats (maybe), ironically accidental art destruction and more.

There's an old adage that states that you can judge a person based on the quality of their enemies, so when the person in question has a clear ethical and moral code, conducts himself honourably in almost everything, can be little old fashioned thanks to a brief sojourn as a Capsicle, and is one of Marvel's most beloved characters (thanks to the MCU), you'd expect the villain roster to be full of seriously bad people. Which it is ... up to a point. Unfortunately Captain America, like so many other comic-book superheroes who've been around for a while, has a few embarrassing skeletons in his closet, and some even stranger enemies ...

These are strange times we're living in, which is why it's good to carry a stick as part of your EDC. A good stick is a very useful object as it can be used as a walking aid, for fishing, thrashing, emergency kindling, and in the case of our resident cultural anarchists, poking fun at the world (while avoiding surprise bears). This week we discover that Ready Player One is somehow getting a sequel (we're not sure how that's going to work either). In other more important news, there's a new collection of Terry Pratchett short stories due for publication, The Great Gatsby is now in the public domain (which means all of that fanfiction can now be published), Donald Trump Jr. has apparently written another book (we still haven't discovered why he was fired the first time), someone is going around collecting mountweazels, and all sorts of other stuff. We also have another of our semi-regular quizzes, and this time it's all about mondegreens (misheard lyrics).

Sometimes you don't have to be a vigilante to stop criminals. Sometimes you don't need superpowers to keep the peace. Sometimes all you need is a shiny helmet, big heavy boots to stomp things, a big gun, a cool motorbike, and the knowledge that you are the drokking law. Judge Dredd is the most popular and successful character to emerge from the pages of British sci-fi comics anthology 2000 A.D., but with so many comics, stories, plot threads, spin-offs, crossovers, political opinions and more, finding a place to start getting acquainted with the paragon of law enforcement can be difficult. Thankfully the 4-Panel gang (and resident Drexpert Mick), are ready to take you on a guided tour through the streets and blocks of Mega City One where you can mingle with all sorts of people including norms, flabbies and maybe the odd mutie, play a spot of Aeroball, visit the odd skankerie, learn about the city's history and culture and more.

It’s time for another dose of the cultural anarchy that cures all ailments (medically proven by travelling salesmen in the Old West). In the news this week are Waterstone’s “controversial” idea about displaying books, why you shouldn’t microwave books, yet another tell-all book about Donald Trump, things that make you go … really?!, and other tales from the apocalypso (other tropical shirt-wearing armageddons also probably exist somewhere). Oh, and GRR Martin is typing … allegedly. After all that it’s the return of our book title Blankety Blank so get ready for some odd questions and even odder answers.

There's gold in those piles of comics of manga, and the grizzled veterans of 4-Panel are determined to find it no matter how many Clint Eastwood musicals they have to sit through! This episode we're kicking things off with the confusingly titled Thanos: The Infinity Ending before we joining our friendly neighbourhood arthropod for Spidey: School's Out. After that we head over to DC for a stunning reimagining of an iconic character in Harleen, then it's over to Humanoids the dark and bloody Mask Of Fudo before we finish things off with Snow Day.

Literary Loitering returns for another round-up of interesting things that have happened in cultured world, and kicking things off is yet another Twitter gaff. Oh Twitter. How you amuse us. After that it’s the good news that poet Michael Rosen was finally released from hospital after suffering from Covid-19, an article by Sam Mendes about practical ways to maintain theatres and support actors during times of lock-down, Waterstone’s strange yet somehow logical idea to quarantine books if any customer touches them, changes to the publishing schedule due to the lock-down, dogs reviewing books, and the plagiarism controversy surrounding Agatha Christie. After that it’s time for another quiz, and this time Graham’s got some rather odd book covers for classic novels.

4-Panel returns from another stint panning for comics and manga gold in the riverbed of graphic literature. Tortured analogies aside, this week is our usual mixed bag of the good, the meh, and the downright bizarre - and not in a nice way. Up for scrutiny are GWAR: The Enormogantic Fail, Loki: Agent Of Asgard (the complete collection), Jughead: The Hunger Versus Vamperonica, The Fourth Power, the first volume of The Reprise Of The Spear Hero, Swimming In Darkness, and the third volume of Granblue Fantasy.

It’s time for another spin on the news wheel of cultural anarchy so round-and-around-and-around we go, and where it stops first is … penguins visiting and art gallery. Looks like we have a winner! After that it’s more usual fare (the word usual is used very loosely), children’s books by children, children’s books by James Patterson, a Woody Allen film taking the number one spot at the global box office, MP Michael Gove’s questionable bookshelf, republished Johnson fiction (this time it’s Dad), real-life-yet-still-fictional Terry Mindhunter, and what may be an early entry (pardon the fully intended pun), into the Bad Sex Awards.

Strange powers aren't a new thing to superhero comics (just check out our episode about Superman's collection of odd, and for the most part thankfully forgotten abilities), and this week it's the turn of Tony Stark to go under our microscope.

We’re back once again with those renegade masters of cultural anarchy, and this week we make our usual pit-stop to find out what everyone’s been reading before diving straight into some news … about VAT. It’s actually more interesting than you think. Honest! After that we have some things about spying on the bookshelves of politicians, some unsurprising additions to the American Library Associations list of “most challenged” books, the banning of some very surprising books by an Alaskan school board, the top three biggest-selling authors in America for 2019 and more. Then it’s time for our now seemingly regular quiz, and this week Producer Rob has a Blankety Blank about strange book titles.

Sometimes you just have to go back to basics in comics, and like the characters out of an old-school fantasy novel, the brotherhood between Marvel's Thor and a horse-faced alien cyborg is something that has become legend in comics. But like every good bromance, this one started with a bit of a punch-up. Join Andrew, Rob and Mick as for this beginner's guide to the last survivor of the Korbinite race that includes The Mighty Thor #337 - 340: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill, Secret Invasion: Thor, Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green Of Eden, Annihilators, and The Unworthy Thor.

The 4-Panel gang return with another heaping helping of comics and manga goodness, and this week there's plenty to talk about. First up are Marvel's newest super team and their first few outings in Strikeforce: Trust Me, Jeff Lemire's new world-crossing barbaruan in the first volume of Berserker Unbound, and the first two volumes of Taku Kuwabara's controversial manga series Drifting Dragons. After that it's time for a bit of speed in Spider-Man: Velocity, some colourfully cosmic shenanigans in Silver Surfer: Black, and a return to the strange minds of Alejandro Jodorowsky and François Boucq on Twisted Tales.

Tis the season to be grumpy, and nobody complains like a gamer (or spits their pacifier out/throws their toys out of the pram). Now there are plenty of reasons to complain about a game (micro-transactions, pay-walls, pay-to-win, gorily-detailed hunting, forcing developers to censor their games after signing exclusivity contracts, etc), but some are more valid than others - and yes, we are looking very pointedly at the developers of Playing History 2: Slave Trade here. Anyway, before we get into the meat of the show there's a bit of time for Producer Rob to introduce to the joys of Moonlighter - an indie dungeon crawler with shop mechanics from Digital Sun and 11 bit Studios that he's bee addicted to recently. After that it's time for Andy and Mark to join the fray for this week's big question - What Would Make You Boycott a Video Game?

Andy, Mark and Producer Rob join forces once again to tackle some of the interesting topics about video games, and with the release of the highly-anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 the gang decide to take a look at the games set in the Old West. But before all of that it's time to catch up with what we've been playing and as usual, everybody's got something different with Mark pouring more hours into Dragon Quast XI: and the Kemono Friedns puzzle game, Andy investigating ancient ruins and the art of the suplex in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and WWE 2K19, and Rob exploring the remarkably strange world of Yakuza Kiwami 2. After that it's time to grab a six-shooter, saddle-up, and ride through the wastelands of video game nostalgia to find out why the Old West is an inspirational yet marginalised time period in the medium. And like any good gunslinger, they pay special attention to the horses.

Video games are a multi-billion dollar industry, so why has it become normal for developers and publishers to release unfinished games? Join Andy and Rob as they investigate this peculiar problem, and also why a bunch as salty as gamers continue to allow the industry to get away with it. With some relevant unfinished games (Final Fantasy X (US version), Knights of the Old Republic II, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, Metal Gear Solid V), Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, horse armour, developers, publishers, streamers, fast-food and more, there's something for everyone on this episode of **Press X.** #TheGeekShow #VideoGames #Gaming #News #Nintendo #PS4 #Switch #PC #XboxOne #PressX #EA #ElectronicArts #Handheld #Consoles #Sony #Microsoft #StarWars #KnightsOfTheOldRepublic #STALKER #ShadowOfChernobyl #MetalGearSolid #ThePhantomPain #AgathaChristie #SherlockHolmes #HorseArmour #TheElderScrolls #Oblivion #Bioware #Bethesda #Fallout #NewVegas #DeathStranding #Konami #HideoKojima #Games #Youtube #Twitch #Steam #Streaming
With all of the remakes, reboots and remasters that are going around in video games these days, it seems like developers and publishers are determined to plumb the depths of gaming history to unearth some long-forgotten treasures. Join Rob, Andy and Producer Rob as, after a brief discussion about the games that they've been playing recently (Death's Gambit, Far Cry Primal and F1 2018 respectively), they dive into the mausoleum of lost games to find some titles that are worthy of resurrection.

The video games market is expensive and over-saturated, but collector's editions, special editions and the ubiquitous “game of the year” editions have generally held a special place in the hearts and wallets of gamers. The question is, are they really worth all of that extra money? Gaming is, after all, an expensive hobby, and not everyone has a bottomless wallet. Join Andy, Mark and Producer Rob as they venture down one what turns out to be one of gaming's stranger rabbit holes in an effort to find out. #TheGeekShow #VideoGames #Gaming #News #Nintendo #PS4 #Switch #PC #XboxOne #PressX #SquareEnix #Handheld #Consoles #Sony #Microsoft #Nintendo #CollectorsEditions #SpecialEditions #GameOfTheYear #PSVita #3DS #Bioware #Bethesda #Codemasters
On the last episode we challenged each other to play a game that we owned that we didn't buy and wasn't released this year, and the results are definitely … weird. Andy found himself playing an obscure online game called Dino D-Day and the Omen-esque horror Lucius 2. On the other hand, Mark sample the "My First JRPG" mechanics of Guardian's Crusade on the PS1 before he got distracted and wound up playing Stranded Kids on the Gameboy Color. As for Producer Rob, he decided to take Dragoneer's Aria on the PSP for a spin. Anyway, our main discussion this week is about the games that we've completed, in particular the ones that we're proud of completing, which naturally leads us on to the subject of trophies and achievement hunting … If you've enjoyed this podcast, then please follow us on Twitter @TGS_TheGeekShow or on other social media by searching for [The Geek Show](http://thegeekshow.co.uk).

Like movies and music, video games are one of those strange things that you wind up collecting without thinking about it. They just seem to accumulate over time until your risk life and limb trying to sort through them. But how many of them have you actually played properly, and more importantly how many of them have you finished? Join the Press X gang who, after a brief chat about Conan: Exiles, Theme Park, Farcry Arcade and Touhou Kabuto Burst Battle, wax nostalgic about games magazines, demo discs (and tapes), and other unfinished tales of their childhood.

Everybody wants to get into video games, but rumour has it that perpetual late starters Google (think about it), are making their own console. So what does that mean for the manufacturers like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo? After our usual look at what we've been playing (Panzermadels, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, Gravel and Onrush), Mark, Andy and Prob stare at Google and take an irreverent journey through video games before somehow winding up in a very strange classroom … If you've enjoyed this podcast, then please follow us on Twitter @TGS_TheGeekShow or on other social media by searching for The Geek Show.

There's more Press X than you can shake a stick it and a whole lot more games to talk about as Andy, Rob and Producer Rob tackle the biggest show in the video game calendar - E3! With a massive number of titles being announced at this year's event, along with some notable ups and downs, we chart a course through the choppy waters of gaming to fish out some our highlights from the various conferences and the the E3 floor, including Spider-Man, Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Resident Evil 2, Ghost of Tsushima and many, many, many more.

In a rather odd turn of events, Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix have teamed up with 343 Industries to create a new four-player arcade machine called HALO: Fireteam Raven. In other news, Valve have set out to remove sexual content from Steam by censoring or removing visual novels (but leaving games like The Witcher and Leisure Suit Larry), and the ongoing 1980s nostalgia trend will soon get a new addition with a Garbage Pail Kids mobile game.

Surprising things are happening this week as Belgium bans in-game loot boxes under the country's gambling laws - which may have unforeseen repercussions … In other news, drugs are being hidden in old NES cartridges and PC Building Simulator may become part of the IT curriculum in schools.

After a long hiatus where we all left to travel and “find” ourselves, Press X returns in an altered format. On this return episode, join Mark, Andy and Producer Rob as they discuss the Megadrive Mini, controversy about Farcry 5, eye-tracking software and Minecraft, the Western release of Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura, and PUBG's “ransomware”.

It's the last episode before Press X goes on hiatus for a while, but fear not as we will be back in a new form in the future.

Press X returns to talk about more games that we've been playing recently, video games publishers and developers that are trading in nostalgia, and the rise and fall and rise of the point-and-click genre. This week we've been playing a veritable smorgasbord of games, from the mobile-to-PC port First Strike: Final Hour and beat-'em-up but not-quite-sequel Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, to the nostalgia-fest that is Yooka-Laylee and the Haruki Murakami-themed point-and-click adventure Memoranda. As if that wasn't enough, we also get to grips with fast-paced construction survive-'em-up Fortnite and a recent addition to the long, long line of Musou games - Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada.

We're a video games podcast aren't we? Maybe? It depends on the day I guess? This week we have a plateful of anime-themed gaming for your tastebuds. First up we have the release of the rarest thing in gaming - a new Nintendo franchise - with a slightly surreal punch-'em-up called Arms. After that we launch into a trio of titles with a strong connection to anime, starting with Accel World Vs. Sword Art Online: Millennium Twilight before moving on to the much-anticipated Valkyria Revolution, and finally finishing with God Wars: Future Past - a tactical JRPG that takes a lot of inspiration from the Kojiki and other parts of Japanese folklore. Next time out we'll return to being a video games podcast, possibly. Until then, don't play anything we wouldn't play.

We return to the expansive wilds of the video game world for that part of the annual release schedule that is often referred to as a barren wasteland. A quick rummage around the box of games leads to a very mixed bag of things to play, including Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku!, DiRT 4, Micro Machines: World Series and Dark Rose Valkyrie, and as if that wasn't enough, we also talk about early gaming memories.

Now that the dust has settled it's time to survey the wreckage left by the biggest gaming convention on the planet, which can only mean one thing. It's time for our E3 special! We take a look at all the interesting happenings (including the Xbox One X and more), but since there's no point in bringing up the same titles we discussed on last year's special we're sticking to only the newest game announcements.

Sarcasm isn't the lowest form of wit. It's actually puns and bad segues, and we emphatically prove that in this week as we work through a mega-list of diverse games (you can imagine how ridiculous things get). So, on this episode we take a look at *deep breath* Birthdays: The Beginning, Outlast 2, Endless Space 2, The Disney Afternoon Collection (DuckTales 1 & 2, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers 1 & 2), Akiba's Beat, Steel Division: Normandy '44 and Injustice 2 ... and exhale.

The Surge is most definitely not The Purge. That said, how good would a Purge game be in the right hands? Welcome to Press X, The Geek Show podcast network's very own video games show, and this week we've got the sci-fi techno-horror The Surge, A New Frontier - the latest season of the Telltale's The Walking Dead adventure series, and grand strategy title Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII (you don't need to play the other twelve). We round out the show with goblin stealth-em-up, Styx: Shards of Darkness and a final duo of JRPGs with Toukiden 2 and Dragon Quest Heroes II. Until next time, don't play anything we wouldn't play. #PressX #TheGeekShow #VideoGames #Gaming #News #Reviews #Nintendo #PS4 #Switch #PC #XboxOne #Styx #ShardsOfDarkness #Stealth #SciFi #TheSurge #TheWalkingDead #DragonQuestHeroes #FocusHomeInteractive #JRPG #TelltaleGames #RPG #Horror #RomanceOfTheThreeKingdomsXIII
This week we hit the wall with gaming exhaustion at it's most incomprehensible before finding our happy place. We start by getting elbow deep in the strange puzzle combination of Puyo Puyo Tetris, the cute-yet-gothic puzzle-platformer A Rose in the Twilight, and indie roguelike action-platform game Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found. After that we talk about the state of affairs then get lost in the crafting wonders of Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey before finishing with a flamboyant flourish with the hotly anticipated Persona 5. #Podcasts #TheGeekShow #PressX #VideoGames #Gaming #Reviews #RPG #JRPG #AtelierFiris #TheAlchemistAndTheMysteriousJourney #Persona #PuyoPuyo #Tetris #PS4 #PC #ToyOdyssey #Anime #Puzzle #ARoseInTheTwilight #PSVita #Platform
Controversial opinions and sandwich conspiracies ahoy on this latest episode of Press X. On the gaming side of things (that is what we're all about after all), our bounty includes a load of LEGO (Worlds and City: Undercover), the strange Japanese school-based visual novel stylings of Danganronpa, the latest Telltale excursion in the form of Guardians of the Galaxy, the rather lovely Celtic puzzler Scéal, and a contender for most laboured subtitle of the year - Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. A little something for everyone and a big old pointy stick to poke the Monokuma. #TheGeekShow #PressX #VideoGames #Gaming #Reviews #LEGO #Danganronpa #KingdomHearts #Telltale #GotG # GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #DarkSouls # Scéal #Podcast

With a full table we discuss “Final Fantasy XV” demos and the franchise at large, “Dark Souls III” and the evolution of From Software's popular franchise, the HD remastering of “The Witch & the Hundred Knight” and one of the oddest of palate cleansers from NIS America with their cyberpunk stealth-'em-up “République”.

Once again we give our occasional video games podcast a run out for some fresh air. We have a mammoth show off gaming reviews and discussions, and more importantly no prostitutes were killed in the making of this show. After the opening shot of Hitman: Sniper we dive into the Definitive Edition of Techland's Dead Island franchise before sampling the ultimate palate cleanser in Project Cars: Game of the Year Edition. After that we get anime with One Piece: Burning Blood before performing a wild 180 and closing the show with Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.

With all of the games we have you'd think that all we do is play them, but we don't. We just forget to do other stuff sometimes. We have a heap of gaming goodies so brace yourself because this edition of Press X includes This is the Police, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Tales of Berseria, Berserk and The Band of the Hawk, Nier: Automata and... *deep breath* ...

In a change to our regularly scheduled programming, we take a detour away from the adventures and decamp once more into the world of video games (Winter won this round but not the war). This time out we look at a swathe of games including WWE 2K17, God Eater: Resurrection, X-COM 2, Hitman, Steep, Mafia III, and Superdimension Neptune Vs. Sega Hard Girls. Trust us, that last one isn't “that” type of game.

The reviews are upon us yet again! While we're at it - we also discuss the sea-change happening in First Person Shooters, poor storytelling in JRPGs and the “anti-hype” for Resident Evil 7 (or Resident E7 if the title is to be believed). Our featured games are World Rally Championship 6 (WRC 6), The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and the cute-yet-terrifying Yomawari: Night Alone.
