Queers At Play

Welcome back to the long overdue return of Queers At Play! We just couldn't resist giving out first thoughts and impressions on the long awaiting reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 along with our thoughts and predictions for the release and upcoming April Switch 2 Nintendo Direct

Welcome at long last to season 3 episode 9 of the Queers At Play podcast where we give our thoughts on the Mario Wonder and September Nintendo Directs, plus the PlayStation State of Play. Finally in Game Pass Gamble Reuben gives his thoughts on Prodeus and Marc choses his next game!

It's finally time for the Queers At Play to reveal their games of the year for 2022.  Reuben, Graham and Marc each discuss their top 4 games of the previous year. With JRPGs, Pokemon, pirates and AAA big hitters it's all here!

Not content with releasing just 1 episode today, we've got a second for you. This time we give our live thoughts on the Mario Movie trailer, discuss what was then a brand new Pokemon Scarlet/Violet trailer and Valve announce the Steam Deck was now available for general purchase. Over in Game Pass Gamble we hear just what Graham thought of the Paw Patrol game and Reuben gets to make the gamble.

It might be a couple of months late but this is a huuuuuge episode. First up was the PlayStation State of Play, where Sony showed off some PSVR2 goodness, Tekken 8 and a God of War Ragnarok story trailer. Following on from that is the massive September 2022 Nintendo Direct, where Nintendo finally lifted the lid on the title of the Breath of the Wild follow up called Tears of the Kingdom, Miyamoto...

Episode 6 of Queers At Play is here and with Gamescom opening night live there's a lot to cover, including a customary Geoff Keighley rant from Reuben, the PS5 price increase and a new Voice of Cards game announcement. Over in Game Pass Gamble Reuben clears up his thoughts on PowerWash simulator and Marc makes his second choice, but does he take the gamble?

Another Queers At Play episode and another Nintendo Direct, this time focussing squarely on Splatoon 3, plus we talk about the THQ Nordic Showcase and a real grab bag of other gaming announcements. Finally we find out if Graham got stuck in the mud with The Gunk and Reuben's under pressure to choose his Game Pass Gamble title.

Plus Marc's at Death's Door with his thoughts on his Game Pass Gamble choice and Graham gets stuck in making his second pick!

Instead of a Direct presentation Nintendo decided to have a big news week so of course the Queers At Play discuss everything announced. Plus we talk about the ridiculous NFT console Polium One, the Genesis Mini 2 and God of War Ragnarok's release date announcement. Finally in Game Pass Gamble Reuben tells us what he thought of Prey and Marc makes his first gamble.
