Join Lucas, Matt and Jammy as they discuss the games they are currently playing and what their favourite games were of 2010 (not a Game Of The Year list). They also discuss their excitement for the list of Triple A titles around the corner and what they each are most looking forward to in 2011. To wrap up they cover the Christmas that just passed and what each of them received (that relates to gaming, not to Jammy’s fetishes). It was a lot of fun and hopefully it brings a smile to your face also.

Well gamers, I think we owe it to ourselves to also reflect on what was an interesting year for the gaming industry. Read more…

As gamers in Australia, we have to jump through some serious hoops to play our favourite games. These hoops deter a lot of the population from picking up video games, or even taking them seriously as a viable means of entertainment or as a hobby.
