Farley's still away in China, so Sean and Mat bring in Darren Gargette and James Carter from tiny enthusiast podcast 'Cane and Rinse'. Think of these as early acquisition talks before TCGS acquires then shuts down Cane and Rinse for good.  Anyway, there's talk of Sean's culinary choices at Rezzed, more discussion on difficulty in games, the Epic Game Store, the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order reveal...

At the time of recording James had a flight in less than ten hours and still hadn't started packing, so we squeezed in what we could into two hours. And after three podcasts and a couple of streams the previous week, What You Been Playing is a bit thin on the ground, which, as you'll hear in feedback, is probably a good thing for Mat. Watch TCGS Live at Rezzed this coming Saturday 6th April at 4pm...

We did it. We finally recorded our second Life is Strange spoilercast. In this episode we cover episode 2 of Life is Strange 2, and David’s back too! Word of warning: If you haven't already played Life is Strange 2, you should probably turn back now, because it's all spoilers from this point on. In this episode we cover everything about episode 2 of Life is Strange 2, including: the characters, th...

Sean, Mat and James talked over PlayStation's first 'State of Play' presentation live on Twitch, and here it is in audio form.  We'd obviously recommend watching the video of our live reactions on our Twitch or YouTube channels, but if you're not able to do that, hopefully this audio version will suffice. Note: Because we used the audio from the stream for this show, the audio quality won't be at...

Ooh, looks like the listeners are scared. All because we’re not afraid to speak our minds, put our heads above the parapet and tell it LIKE IT IS. And do you know what, we don’t care. No other podcast on the PLANET is brave enough to say that Zelda BOTW was a good game, but it’s no skin off our nose. Mario Galaxy was alright too. Also: James has an announcement that ruins the fun for everyone, Mat...

It's a packed show this week, and we start off by covering all the news and announcements from last week's Nintendo Direct.

AND WE’RE BACK. The Christmas break is finally over, David’s left the pod, and it’s time for James, Mat and Sean to pick up the pieces. So who’s hosting? Who’s reading the news? And how many games can three people play over three weeks? All that plus new initiatives and old arguments on this first pod of 2019. Enjoy. Games discussed: Ashen, Ori and the Blind Forest, Resident Evil 2, Beat Saber, De...

It's finally time to decide the TCGS Game of the Year for 2018. 16 games were chosen last week, and the Listeners' Choice entry has been confirmed, but which game will come out on top? It's almost four hours of discussion, arguments, bribes and tactics as David (for the last time in a while), Mat, James and Sean battle it out to see who wins Game of the Year 2018. Games discussed: Astro Bot Rescue...

It’s David’s last proper show and there’s no better way to end it than with the GOTY Draft 2018.

David continues his discovery of VR, James tries his hand at Smash Brothers, Mat's hovering around David’s chair and Sean drags out a two hour game over three weeks....
