The Computer Game Show

It’s David’s last proper show and there’s no better way to end it than with the GOTY Draft 2018. The boys sit down to put together their list of the top 16 games of the year and they’re already trying to work out each others tactics. David continues his discovery of VR, James tries his hand at Smash Brothers, Mat's hovering around David’s chair and Sean drags out a two hour game over three weeks. Games discussed: Return of the Obra Dinn, Beat Saber, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Wipeout Omega,...

It’s a busy week this week with David finally able to join in with the PSVR chat after a bribe from James. Mat learns the consequences of rushing through games, Sean thinks that Londoners never want to travel outside of the M25 and an independent games shop has to deal with a local celebrity trying to use his status to get a discount. Games discussed: The Gardens Between, Return of the Obra Dinn, Red Dead Redemption 2, Destiny 2, Tetris Effect, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Juiced, Spider-Man,...

Everyone's here, but Mat's got a bone to pick with David about his recent performance on another podcast. Other than that, Sean's now a professional gamer, James isn't happy with collectibles, David still has views on Tetris Effect, Mat is playing more games than everyone else, and there's a revelation about 2/3 of the way through the podcast that changes EVERYTHING. Games discussed: Spider-Man, Pokémon Let’s Go, Red Dead Redemption 2, Warframe, Destiny 2, Tetris Effect LISTEN Apple...

James returns and as usual he's got a few notes on last week’s show that he’d like to discuss with the others. David's been watching a hell of a lot of FIFA 18, Sean's been doing some research on Twitter and Mat's been secretly hammering a game all week that he’s keen to talk about. It’s a long one.

Sean returns this week but it’s not a full squad as James misses out due to work commitments.

Sean is off again this week but don't worry, it's not another Freeman show as the boys are joined by Gamespot's Global Head of News, Tamoor Hussain. James feels the pressure reading the news in front of a professional, David wants to hear more about Red Dead Redemption 2's HDR mode and Mat contemplates the future of Half-Life. Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Crayola Scoot, Friday 13th, Tetris Effect, Rayman Legends, Undertale, Overwatch, Diablo III: Eternal...

It’s Halloween and the boys are keen to use scary noises to spook the listeners. They’ve also spent the week with a snake in their boot and announcing that someone has poisoned the water hole. As you’d expect much of this show is dedicated to Red Dead Redemption 2 but that doesn’t stop David and Sean questioning some of Mat’s statements from the week before. Meanwhile James is adjusting to time travel. Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Fist of the North...

David’s off this week, so here it is; a little preview of how TCGS will sound in 2019 when David takes a year off to look after this second child. Oh wait. What’s that? Sean’s also not on the show because he’s suddenly unwell an hour before recording? Ah. Well that just leaves James and Mat to carry the torch and do something for the listeners. I mean sure, James would have liked nothing more than for Mat to cancel and not release a show this week, but unless we’re all dead from a freak...

Despite being away this week, Sean manages to make an appearance to test out what the show will be like once David leaves.

It’s a big one this week. Not only is it the final episode before our live show at EGX this coming Saturday, but a lot has happened since the last recording. Spider-Man’s mysterious backpacks?
