After waiting years for Bethesda's Starfield, was it worth the wait? Was it worth both Andy & AJ buying Xbox's for? Find out in this episode! After missing last week's podcast episode due to no-life-ing Starfield, AJ & Andy have quite a bit to say about Bethesda's newest IP in 25 years. Is it the epic sci-fi RPG game they expected? AJ played the game on the Xbox Series S vi...

We've never thought we'd say this but... We were wrong about the Xbox. The Xbox has always been left out here at 128KB, it's something we've never made content about as the way we saw it was "we're PC gamers", so we didn't give it the time of day. Over the past several months there's been features that have been peaking our interest, the backwards compatibilit...

Video games are incredible, we can't imagine a world without them but... both AJ & Andy have an unhealthy obsession with physical game collecting, from retro to modern games. It's not all sunshine and rainbows though as there seems to be a downside to collecting physical games... 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://geni.us/Y7mYL1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🕹 See Our N...

In 2017 there were almost 7,000 video game stores across the UK, in 2022 that number had dropped by 50%. Join Andy & AJ discuss the death of the video game store, reminisce about the good old days and what this could mean for the future of video game stores. 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://geni.us/Y7mYL1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🕹 See Our Nintendo Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Red Dead Redemption is back, coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4... and PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility. This isn't the remastered or remade version we were all expecting though, instead we're getting a straight port of the original 2010 game on Nintendo Switch and PS4 for $50/£40. 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://geni.us/Y7mYL1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

In this episode AJ & Andy discuss the worst console releases of all time! We previously did an episode on the best consoles of all time, so naturally we had to cover the worst, right? 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://geni.us/Y7mYL1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🕹 See Our Nintendo Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/128kb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎮 See Our PlayStation Channel:...

New information has be apparently leaked of the next Sony PlayStation 5 model, hinting at a Pro model being released some time in 2024. Someone has got hands on with the Sony Project Q, Sony's new handheld device, showing...

After last week finding out that 87% of all video games before 2010 are out of print, we wanted to find out what the best console of all time is... Obviously this is a subjective topic but we wanted to give our opinions on the best console and why.

The Video Game History Foundation has just published a new study that has found 87% of video games in the US before 2010 are out of print, meaning you cannot easily access and play them. There's currently only two ways to even attempt to play these games, either buy expensive second hand consoles and games or emulate them illegally. Join AJ & Andy discuss what this could mean and their tho...

There has been so many remakes and remasters of games over the last 12 months we've actually lost count. We've seen some superb games make their way to the modern era but we've also seen some totally fail at it too. Whilst many love seeing their favourite game get polished up to today's standards, many have poised the questions "the game doesn't need remastering" or &...

With the announcement of Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, a new 2.5D side-scrolling Metroidvania, we saw an abundance of hate thrown towards 2D games online. The same was said when Metroid 5 Dread was announced. The argument being that 2D games aren't worth paying full price for. Join AJ & Andy discuss their thoughts on 2D & 2.5D side-scrollers in 2023 and whether or not they are worth...

Recently Star Wars Outlaws was announced, along with a 10 minute gameplay trailer and WOW, it looks insane! Star Wars Outlaws is set to be the first open world Star Wars game to date and we think it looks incredible. Playing as a scoundrel and her pet you can explore planets and space combat freely. This looks like Red Dead Redemption 2 but... in space! 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

We're quickly heading towards the PlayStation 5's 3rd birthday, can you believe that? After 3 years almost every PS5 game is also available on the PS4, something we've never seen before when a new generation has launched. AJ, a serious PlayStation fanboy with an enormous PlayStation collection has to ask Andy the question, is the PlayStation 5 pointless? 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphon...

OK, WTF happened to The Lord of the Rings Gollum game?! Originally slated for release in 2021 the game was delayed and delayed again to then be randomly announced for release during Nacon's presentation. Unfortunately, they completely and utterly butchered it. The game is a stealth based prison break game, that sees you play as Gollum. A linear experience with platforming elements but sadly, t...

Sony recently announced the PlayStation Project Q, their latest handheld device attachment for the PlayStation 5...Unfortunately, this isn't a dedicated handheld, this isn't the PS Vita 2, or even a PlayStation cloud streaming device... The PlayStation Project Q is a PS5 remote play streaming device, meaning your PS5 needs to be on and running the game over Wi-Fi, which will then be stream...

AJ & Andy are back talking about a serious issue they have within their gaming lives, as active playing collectors... Buying games & never playing them. Whether it's a game they've been following for ages, new releases, bundle deals or physical deals, they always manage to acquire new games and then never play them or play the first several hours to never return to it. What's y...

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally here but is it actually any good? We've all waited what feels like absolutely forever for the sequel to Breath of the Wild and, well, it's here!

Back in the 1990's we had tonnes of handheld gaming devices on offer, Nintendo Game Boys, SEGA GameGear, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket & more... Slowly, over the years, handheld devices diminished until it was just Nintendo & Sony left, until Sony decided to leave the race too crowning Nintendo as king. Fast forward to now and we're seeing a resurgence of handheld gaming, in our opini...

Physical games have been the choice for many game collectors since the beginning of gaming but with digital only consoles and handheld PC devices like Valve's Steam Deck being all digital, is this the end of physical game media? Andy & AJ discuss their experiences as physical games collectors and how they may be shifting to buying digital games instead... 🎙 Audio Partners Røde Microphones:...

With infinite leaks of a so called Nintendo Switch Pro or Nintendo Switch 2 or Switch successors over the past 24 months and the fact the Nintendo Switch is starting to really show its age... Here's what we want from Nintendo Switch 2. Join AJ & Andy as they discuss what they'd like to see from Nintendo's next console and let us know what you'd like to see in the comments! 🎙 Au...

Is Sony re-entering the handheld gaming ring?! Recently there's been leaks of a supposedly new Sony PlayStation console, codenamed "Q-Lite", which will be Sony's first handheld piece of hardware since the Sony PlayStation Vita over 10 years ago. We discuss these leaks, potential specs, what it could mean for Sony's future, what we like/dislike and what we ultimately would wan...

It's here, Resident Evil 4 Remake has finally happened. The remake of Andy's (possibly) favourite game ever. We've got it, we've played Resident Evil 4 Remake on Valve's Steam Deck and we've certainly got some things to say about it! Join AJ & Andy talk about playing Resident Evil 4 Remake, AJ's first ever experience of Resident Evil 4 after never playing the origin...
