Gamecentral Podcast

In a week where Katy Perry was confirmed as getting her own game, it seemed only appropriate that BAFTA also announce their nominees for the BAFTA game awards taking place next month. Which games got the most nods, and who made the cut for "Best Game"? Listen to find out. We also talk about Bethesda getting their own E3 press conference; Resident Evil HD's sales figures; Call of Duty: Advanced War...

We're here as always to give you the low down on the past week in gaming. Whether it's letting you know when the Battlefield: Hardline Beta is out (hint: right now); or telling you how many Wii Us and Amiibos Nintendo has sold; or even the latest news on the Last Of Us Movie! All of that and more, including what Hideo Kojima wants from a Metal Gear Solid remake, and what ex-Bioshock lead Ken Levin...

This week we're looking forward. The lack of any big new titles only reminds us that there's still so much to come later this year, including Uncharted 4, Hotline Miami 2, Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, The Order: 1886, Rise of the Tomb Raider, No Man's Sky and LOADS MORE! We'll be talking about them all, and why we're either are, or aren't looking forward to them. Ofcourse, no episode would be comple...

This week's Gamecentral Podcast is brought to you by the numbers "5" and "0", and the letter "A", for "Anniversary!" That's right, we're finally a year old, and wouldn't you know it, we've only gone and managed to secure an extra special guest to celebrate... It's Mr. Biffo! Teletext and Digitiser legend Paul "Mr. Biffo" Rose has gone back to writing about video games with his site Digitiser2000.c...

We're one week away from our 1 year anniversary, and from our special guest, Digitiser writer Mr. Biffo appearing on the podcast! And be sure to listen until the end of the show for your opportunity to send in questions for Mr. Biffo and win prizes for doing it! Elsewhere on the podcast, it's puns aplenty as Don and Gareth's names are both turned into what are sure to be popular, recurring segment...

With 2014 in the rear view mirror there's just one bit of business left to attend to, we need to figure out what the best game of the last 12 months was. We are a podcast of individuals however, so naturally we each need to argue our case... In court! We'll also count down the top 10 games of the year as voted for by the 'Gamecentral Lives!' Facebook Group and see how it measures to Gareth's own l...

So that's it, 2014 is in the can and all we can do now is look back on it with fondness and disdain in equal measure. With the aid of Gamecentral Podcast veteran Mr. Guy Whitlock, we take a month-by-month look at the last year in gaming and judge the kind of year it's been. What parts were highlights, which parts were lowlights, and which parts were mehlights? Come and join Gareth, Rob, Don and GU...

It's almost here! We're only one week away from Christmas (or, if you prefer, "Annual Catch Up On A Year's Worth Of Missed Gaming" week!) and the excitement is brewing for another delightful holiday season, but the Ghost of Christmas News is an ever-present spectre around this time of year, so there is still work to be done! Want to hear about how Smash Bros. launch has affected Wii U sales? We've...

Stick a Zelda under the tree, for me... The jingle bells continue this week as the holiday season creeps ever closer and the game releases are grinding to a halt. It's still been a busy week for news though, as we discuss The Game Awards 2014 and all the newest announcements that were made at the show (new Zelda footage anyone?!?). Then we go on to talk about new Uncharted 4 gameplay footage, Fina...

December's finally here! And we're Christmassing up the podcast appropriately, so look forward to lots of sleigh bells over the next few weeks! In news this week we have lots to talk about, including the turbulent launch for Smash Bros. on the Wii U, the setting for the next Assassin's Creed game "Victory", Dark Souls 2 coming to PS4 and Xbox One and a whole host of other news! In this week's feat...

It's time once again for your fix of news and opinions from the world of video games. The reviews are coming in, and both Smash Bros. and Grand Theft Auto 5 have been doing the rounds, but how do they both hold up in the eyes of the video game world's toughest critics? We also cover more details on the future Majora's Mask 3DS remake; find out how popular the Evolve Big Alpha was; get teased with...

It's Halo week this week! With Halo: The Master Chief Collection out in stores, we take an episode to talk about the Xbox's favourite son, as we discuss what we thought of the game-changing franchise. First though we have to talk about the week's news, and what a week it's been! We talk about the big announcements from Blizzcon last weekend; the new Majora's Mask 3D announced for 3DS; Call of Duty...

The Three Gamigos (like Amigos but pronounced like GAME-me-goes... good stuff that) are back and we've plenty to talk about this week. We discuss the smaller Xbox One that's almost certainly in production; the Oculus Rift's sooner-than-expected launch; the potential advantages that playing GTA V in first-person mode might have and Smash Bros Wii U getting a new release date. Plus much more, but yo...

This week, in the absence of Rob or Don, Gareth has reached out to members of the 'Gamecentral Lives!' Facebook page for help, and James "Hawkie" Lawrence and Chris Tomkinson answer the call. It's news, news, news this week, so fasten your seat-belts... and maybe grab a Red Bull. The big news bits of the week include a release date and price for Destiny's first major expansion; Star Wars Battlefro...

This week we bask in the failure of our live episode by doing what we do best: Abandoning failed ideas! Don't be expecting another live show from us for a little while, but do be expecting only the finest news stories in the world of gaming this week. From GTA: San Andreas coming to Xbox 360; to EA patching FIFA to make scoring goals easier, with even a little bit of Smash Bros news thrown in to r...

This week we were live for the first time ever! The pressure was on, and while there were certainly some hiccups, everything basically went perfectly. Ish. Anyway, in news this week we found out about an absolute slew of release dates so it's our job to tell you all about them! There's been more news regarding the Wii U version of Smash Bros, The Evil Within reviews have been rolling in and what w...

We're back after missing a week with 2 weeks of news! Smash Bros news abounds and there have been more updates to Destiny than you can shake a stick at, so join us for the past fortnight in gaming. In what we've been playing Rob tells us about Forza Horizon 2 and whether Shadow of Mordor lives up to the incredible hype. And can you guess what Don has been doing with his week? No. No is the answer....

Guy's back! He finally stopped gallivanting around the world for long enough to come talk to us about Destiny and to offer up some much needed romance advice for all you listeners out there. First though, we need to talk about the news. The Golden Joystick nominees for the year have been announced; Titan has been cancelled; and just how did Destiny's launch affect console sales? Find out before be...

Destiny has been out for a week and everybody and their mother has played it, including Don and Gareth! 2 members of the podcast playing a newly released game at the same time?! It's the first time it's happened and we'll be taking full advantage of the situation. But first in the news section we have to talk about Microsoft buying Minecraft, GTA V PS4, Xbox One and PC release dates and more. Don...

It's no surprise that this week is Destiny week, but before we got onto that we have to talk about Microsoft supposedly buying Minecraft creator 'Mojang'; a whole slew of new release dates; and Amiibo prices. We try to fuse multiple games together to create new ones (and fail miserably) before we talk about what we've been playing. It turns out Don bought himself a PS4 this week, and has been play...

Against all odds we've managed to cobble together a packed show for you today! We discuss a whole heap of GTA V news; a new 3DS got announced; Some good news for Wii U owners; Mario Kart DLC is on the way; and were those Smash Bros leaks from last week genuine?! Find out in the news section! The gameshow is back this week, and it's back with a vengeance! But which classic British gameshow are we a...

We manage to dig up a surprising amount of news this week, including Amazon buying Twitch out from under Google's nose; Super Smash Bros details getting leaked; and even a Pokemon fighting game made by the team behind Tekken! All that and much more in this week's news. Then we discuss what we've been playing this week. Guild Wars 2, Trials, and Borderlands 2 for Vita get talked about before Gareth...

Technology and schedules were kind to us so we're finally back to full force this week, and we welcome new full-time host and Gamecentral favourite Don Goss! In news we recap last week's Gamescom announcements and our favourites games that were there; we talk about the increasing complications of Sony's upcoming Shareplay feature, as well as the Flappy Bird creator's new game, World of Warcraft an...

In a tragic turn of events this week, a computer crash meant we lost episode 31 of the podcast. Not willing to admit total defeat though, I (Gareth) have produced a little mini-podcast that should sum up the week's going on while still providing you with a bit of great video game music and opinions. We apologise for the short episode this week, but these kind of technical problems can't be helped....

It's a last minute, two man, low key episode this week, so join us for a morning edition of the Gamecentral Podcast! No Man's Sky is confirmed for PC, the people at Twitch are being dicks and the Gamecube remake of the original Resident Evil is coming to current gen platforms so we've got plenty to chew on in this week's news segment. Our "What Have We Been Playing" section is shorter this week (a...
