Guys Playing Games

This week we're all very excited for the release of Ready Player One, Spielbergs latest, and a love letter to online gaming and pop culture of the 80s and beyond. Elsewhere Az proclaims A Way Out to have one of the best game endings EVER, and goes all redneck in Far Cry 5.

This week we're joined by NintendoLife.com reviewer Rich Atkinson, who gives us a taste of life as a games journalist. Elsewhere Ed gets Superhot and Az gets 'ratty' with Vermintide 2. We also whizz through the weeks news and releases, including; Sea of Thieves, A Way Out, Ni No Kuni 2 and Assassins Creed 2019 rumours.

This week we take a full on nostalgia trip as we remember the games that opened our eyes to the world of gaming and made us the players we are today. Ed recalls his formative years playing Sonic and Dune 2, Az gets misty eyed for Mario 64 and Halo, and Perry talks about Runescape (plus Zelda: A link to the past and World of Warcraft). Elsewhere the Darwin Project hits early access, The Division 2 is officially annouced and Twitch Prime starts giving you loads of free games every month!

This week we officially welcome Az to the GPG team! Ed tries out Fortnite BR in comparision to PUBG, Az is late to the party in CoD WWII and we celebrate an amazing first year for Nintendo's Switch. Plus news round-up including Monster Hunter World, Far Cry 5 and Warframe.

After last weeks fun and games, Ed continues the quest for his first chicken dinner and Perry re-evaluates Divinity Original Sin 2. Elsewhere, Blizzard annouce the Year of the Raven for Hearthstone and Overwatch gets a new Hero...

Ed goes on the hunt for chicken dinners in PUBG, Perry, and guest Az, discover they have no idea what they're doing in Divinity Original Sin 2 and we cover the kick off of Overwatch League Season 1 Stage 2.

Ed gets to monster slaying in The Witcher 3, and we chat about the successes and momentum behind the Overwatch League.

Ed goes home in... Gone Home, and chats about the recent Vainglory 2.12 patch. Perry talks about Runescape, again, will it ever end?? Elsewhere, Hearthstone nerfs and prizes, and Monster Hunter World hits the mainstream in a big way.

Ed goes mobile with The Witness, Perry unofficially launches his weekly Runescape segment, and we ramble over the weeks news including; Anthem delayed? Blindfolded guitar hero crazyness and the latest updates to Warframe.

Perry finally defeats some zombies in They Are Billions; Ed gets dangerously sneaky in Hitman and heads back to New York in The Division; we look at the first week of the much hyped Overwatch League.

We're back for the new year! Over the holidays Perry has been failing to stop the zombie apocalypse in They Are Billions, Ed returns to Egypt and Assassins Creed Origins, and we have a rambling chat about what happened in 2017 and look ahead to what's in store for 2018.

Ed goes to back to the future and fights robo-dinos with a bow and arrow in Horizon Zero Dawn, Perry finds his true calling growing veg in Stardew Valley, and we chuckle about the console release of the absurdly rediculous Gangbeasts.
