NBA 2K20 (PS4)
This year's NBA2K must stand for Need Bank Account 2 Kontinue as parasitic micro-transaction systems ruin a great game. The Best part of this game is the addition of a very well rounded and perfectly executed WNBA game mode.
FIFA 20 (PS4)
Although the campaign mode after the end of the Hunter trilogy last year is noticeably missing, a fully fledged Volta Football mode does fill the gap. Some big changes on a gameplay level shake things up and new additions to FUT flesh out that game mode.

Matt and Lucas are back with the second last episode for 2017! To start the show they reflect upon the turn of events in the industry following the discussion of micro transactions on the last episode, which I’m sure we can all agree played a major part in getting the loot box discussion happening around the world (Hi to our listeners in the Belgian government!).
Next up Matt shares his thoughts on South Park: The Fractured But Whole and some PlayLink games, Lucas shares his review of NBA2K18, then Matt follows up with reviews of Ben 10, LA Noire remastered, and Need For Speed Payback. Enjoy the show and look out for our GOTY episode coming up later this month! Read more…

It’s the busiest time of year for gamers, so many games but such little time. On this episode of the podcast Lucas and Matt share their thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Origins, Wolfenstein 2, Gran Turismo Sport and more. They also have a chat about micro-transactions given their prevalence in games at the moment which leads to a classic Matt rant. Enjoy! Read more…

Ni No Kuni Remastered (PS4)
Although this remaster is purely a graphical upgrade the game itself is still as charming and fun as ever. A magical fantasy world and a well written story make this game a pure delight to play even on the second time around.
Borderlands 3 (PS4)
A lackluster script which tries to be funny but falls flat at every turn combines with average shooting and repetitive level design to make Borderlands 3 a pale imitation of the games which came before it.
Lucas
The Podfather/Convo Controller
Super salesman by day, Batdad and Gamersutra by night. As a self-confessed technology pacifist, he prefers to sit on the console-war fence and play games on his PC.
Matt
PlayStation Fanboy/Motormouth
Electrician by trade and yet also highly skilled at finding time to game around work and family commitments. A PlayStation fanboy with a platinum count and obvious podcast bias to prove it. Thinks DC is clearly superior to Marvel. Has been known to rant.
