This jolly week we spend some time reflecting on the previous year (thank you True Achievements for helping us remember!) and name our personal GOTY's and other favourites.

Today, we have our weekly Halo discussion, covering the new Fracture: Yorai limited-time event, general progression and other bits of balancing and things we would like to see. Is it still holding up? Halo has also managed to snag the top spot of most played games on Xbox, edging out even Fortnite and Warzone, pretty spicy if you ask me. The Xbox Series S has reportedly been the best selling conso...

This week talk about Halo, like,  a lot. Like, probably too much. But if you want to hear 2 competitive shooter enthusiasts talk about the Halo shadow drop and how the launch version of the game feels / plays, you might be in the most appropriate place on the internet. Moreover, we'll talk about the Halo Infinite campaign previews which seem to be overwhelmingly positive!  We also go ove...

This week we cover the various controversies, from the BF 2042 beta, to Farcry 6 and Destiny 2 vaulting even more content. With Halo's interest seemingly eclipsing that of Call Of Duty and Battlefield, it seemed timely to have the conversation of how well we think Halo will do comparatively.  There are also forge leaks that indicate a full scripting system and a new game mode which includes l...

In this weeks episode, we gush over the 2nd Halo Infinite tech test now that we both got to play it together. We break down each component of the multiplayer in detail, discussing what we did and didn't like across the 3 game modes and 4 maps - there is a hell of a lot to discuss! We also go over the reception to the Call Of Duty Vanguard beta and how the competition (Halo and Battlefield 2042) st...

In this episode we spice up the video format, with only a few mistakes... Other than that we talk about the huge success of Deathloop, even earning a 10/10 on Gamespot's very small list! We also go over the various leaks courtesy of NVIDIA and mull over the recent information of upcoming projects, including a strategy game and a MOBA based off an existing Xbox IP! Come say hi on our Twitter! https...

The majority of this weeks episode is about our enjoyment of the Playstation showcase, some good and some bad! WOLVERINE! You also get to listen to live, jittery, excitement about Redfall leaks that describe this Arkane Xbox exclusive as a Breath Of The Wild style co-op immersive sim with looter shooter elements; which is an absolute dream come true for us. As I type this Deathloop reviews have be...

In this episode with an intro softer Megaera's voice, we discuss the casual bombshell that Elder Scrolls 6 is planned to be Xbox exclusive, following resurfaced chatter of Starfield appearing on other consoles (it isn't). We also address the recent clarification around Halo's 'per match XP' challenge system, and whether last weeks ConTorVerSy was worth anyones breath. Xbox also confirms a Tokyo Ga...

This week we discuss the decent-sized chunk of news that came out of Gamescom 2021, including a Halo infinite release date, limited-edition hardware and more controversy! We speak about our thoughts on the show and what we did / didn't like about it, or if we got distracted by takeaway food...   We also discuss the amazing reviews that Psychonauts received at launch, and what this means...

In this episode, we begrudgingly cover the latest negative news about Halo Infinite and decide whether or not we feel this is a deal-breaker.

We give a booming round of applause to Sea of Thieves who recentl...

We also speak about the Twitter controversy of 'fruit-gate' that went around on Twitter after the Halo lighting, including Digital Foundry's breakdown.   You...

In this sleepy episode we get hyped by gushing about Halo Infinite! We speak in detail about how Halo feels coming from Apex Legends, the gunplay, feel, movement, equipment, music, graphics and a whole lot more.

We also gush over the success of Deaths Door and talk about the previews that Psychonauts 2 enjoyed this week before finishing off with the recent Insid...

In terms of this video game stuff, Phil Spencer discussed controller features and praised the Dual Sense on Kinda Funny's podcast, Xbox had its most profitable month since 2011, The Coalition appear to be working on a new IP as they warm up to UE5 and much more! You c...

This week we have a rather hearty discussion about the micro-transactions, lootboxes and try to understand both sides of the argument after Tim spends £70 on micro-transactions in Apex. With this being an increasingly popular form of monetisation, it's important to understand why it is happening and what is reasonable. We also use facecams for the first time, sorry in advance about any damage done...

Welcome back to QRP in a post-E3 world! Now that we have time to talk about things that aren't half-truths and speculation, we gave some time to the philosophical quandary; 'what is a next-gen game'? This is something that the internet places a lot of emphasis on when it comes to purchasing a new console. Is this warranted? Plus, Kojima talk and Xbox supports more TV's, Monitors and IOS! Also wtf...

In this special episode we discuss the E3 showcase we have been talking about for months. Was it worth the excitement? Are we excited going forward? Did Xbox SAVE E3!??!

In the episode we've been building up to, we are excited to speak about what we might see at Xbox's E3 conference next week on June 13th. We have been touching on various rumours and speculation for a few months now and next week we finally get to see the reality of it. Does Xbox blow us away next Sunday with gameplay, new announcements and new IP? Or do we walk away with a feeble 'that's it?'. Co...
